Register to attend the “Understanding Economic Statistics From the U.S. Census Bureau” Toolbox Tuesday session on May 12 to explore U.S. Census Bureau tools for understanding economic trends. 

The session will include presentations from U.S. Census Bureau staff on the Annual Integrated Economic Survey (AIES) and the Economic Census. Launched in 2024, the AIES consolidates seven annual surveys into one streamlined source of nationwide data on business earnings, online sales, costs and inventory, investments, and local revenue. The Economic Census, conducted every five years, provides comprehensive statistics at the national, state, and local levels. 

Toolbox Tuesday attendees will learn about: 

• The availability of national, regional, divisional, and state‑level estimates on revenues, expenses, payroll, and employment.
• Applications of AIES data for understanding market trends and economic conditions.
• The use of the Economic Census as a benchmark for current economic activity, including the Gross Domestic Product and Producer Price Index.
• New data content introduced in the 2022 Economic Census, including telemedicine, cannabis, and electric vehicles.
• Modern data access tools, enhanced visualizations, and accelerated release schedules available through both programs.
