Federal Data Users

See the future of economic surveys by delving into the Annual Integrated Economic Survey (AIES). This new annual survey combines the following seven existing annual business surveys into a streamlined single survey: · Annual Capital Expenditures Survey (ACES) · Annual Retail Trade Survey (ARTS) · Annual Survey of Manufacturers (ASM) · Annual Wholesale Trade Survey (AWTS) · Manufacturers' Unfilled Orders Survey (M3UFO) · Report of Organization (COS) · Service Annual Survey (SAS) The AIES provides key measures of economic activity, including the only comprehensive national and subnational data on business capital expenditures, employment, expenses, inventories, payroll, and revenues on an annual basis.  Instead of breaking each company's operations into distinct components for specific surveys, the new Annual Integrated Economic Survey will reduce respondent burden and provide more information. The U.S. Census Bureau begin releasing data from the 2023 AIES data collection cycle in the summer of 2025. Full data release has been delayed by government shutdown. After this session, you will know the origins of the previous surveys, the purpose of the new survey, the methodology of collection, the scope of topics covered, and the possible uses of the data.
