The U.S. Census Bureau maintains an important portfolio of economic
statistics programs, including quinquennial economic censuses,
annual economic surveys, and quarterly and monthly indicator
surveys. Government, corporate, and academic users rely on the data
to understand the complexity and dynamism of the U.S. economy.
Historically, the Bureau's economic statistics programs developed
sector by sector (e.g., separate surveys of manufacturing, retail
trade, and wholesale trade), and they continue to operate largely
independently. Consequently, inconsistencies in questionnaire
content, sample and survey design, and survey operations make the
data not only more difficult to use, but also more costly to
collect and process and more burdensome to the business community
than they could be. This report reviews the Census Bureau's annual
economic surveys. Specifically, it examines the design, operations,
and products of 11 surveys and makes recommendations to enable them
to better answer questions about the evolving economy. Table of
