Support for Current Population Survey (CPS) #40

Open N-Masi opened 8 months ago

N-Masi commented 8 months ago

I propose v0.1.0 that primarily adds support for CPS monthly datasets through the addition of the CPSDataSource class. Additionally, a test is provided (api_tests.py) that proves the superiority of the package's current approach to data acquisition, viz. downloading the CSV, rather than using the Census Bureau's web API. README updates are provided as well.
