Census Has Business Data? An Overview of Key Census Economic Programs... and a Demo of our COVID Resources
 
Andrew Hait, Survey Statistician / Economist, Economic Outreach and Marketing Staff / Economic Management Division
U.S. Census Bureau
 
Most data users know that the Census Bureau produces amazingly valuable data from its household programs (like the ACS and the Decennial Census), but few know about our business data. This session will provide an overview of key programs.

First, we’ll talk about the latest data we’ve released (from County Business Patterns and the Economic Census). Then, we’ll discuss the Annual Business Survey (the replacement for the Survey of Business Owners) that provides data on women, minority, and veteran owned employer businesses. We’ll also talk about the new Nonemployer Statistics-Demographics data that provides info like the ABS but for self-employed persons. We’ll end this part with a quick update on where you can access these data, including Census Business Builder.

Finally, the session will end with a summary of the 6 COVID-related programs we stood up in 2020 and the COVID-19 Data Hub that you can access these data (and lots of other data) from. Bring your toughest questions too...we'll save time for some Q&A.
