United States Census Data

NOTE : Starting in March 2024 the Annual Survey of manufactures was transitioned into  the Annual Integrated Economic Survey (AIES) and includes 2023 data.

The Annual Survey of Manufactures provides key intercensal measures of manufacturing activity, products, and location for the public and private sectors. The ASM provides the best current measure of current U.S. manufacturing industry outputs, inputs, operating status, and is the primary basis for updates of the Longitudinal Research Database (LRD). Census Bureau staff and academic researchers with sworn agent status use the LRD for micro data analysis.

Statistics are available on a sample universe of manufacturing establishments with one or more paid employees at any time during the year for manufacturing classified in NAICS sectors 31-33. Employment, payroll, hours, cost of materials, operating expenses, shipments and receipts for services, value added, inventories, and relative standard errors data are available for the U.S. at the 2- through 6-digit NAICS levels.

The ASM is conducted annually, except for years ending in 2 and 7, at which time ASM data are included In the manufacturing sector of the Economic Census.
