Census Bureau Celebrates 13th Anniversary of Manufacturing Day

Conducted every five years, the Economic Census is the Census Bureau's most comprehensive source of information on U.S. employer businesses and the economy, and has been collecting statistics on the nation's manufacturing sector since 1810. Data collection for the 2022 Economic Census began last year. The Census Bureau plans to release the Geographic Area Statistics data this December.

The Census Bureau also publishes manufacturing statistics from other sources, including the Annual Survey of Manufactures (ASM), multiple economic indicators, the Annual Business Survey (ABS), and experimental data products such as the Small Business Pulse Survey, Business Formation Statistics, and the new Business Trends and Outlook Survey (BTOS).
