The U.S. Census Bureau is currently determining the concepts and questions to be included on the 2022 Economic
Census and would like your assistance to ensure we are properly reflecting the changing economy and capturing
relevant data. We are interested in any comments on the usefulness of existing questions and suggestions for new
inquiries that may be appropriate for this benchmark survey.
Please submit your comments or questions via email to econ.content@census.gov by August 12, 2020; be advised that
your comments may become a matter of public record. Any information provided may also be shared with our annual
economic programs for consideration as well.
To view examples of the 2017 Economic Census survey questions and instructions by trade sector:
https://bhs.econ.census.gov/ombpdfs. Under “Survey Title” or “Trade,” please filter and/or select the specific pdf
relevant to your organization. (Note that there may be more than one pdf or industry relevant to you.)
Please note that Item 28, Special Inquiries, may be of particular interest. While general questions are asked of all
establishments, these inquiries allow additional data to be collected that measure important changes in our economy
and support the needs of individual industries.
