The U.S. Census Bureau has recently issued the forms for the 2012 Economic Census, the U.S. Government's official five-year measure of American business and the economy. Nearly 4 million businesses have received forms for the Economic Census, and, by law, these businesses must respond by Feb. 12, 2013.
ACA and its members have benefited from the information gathered during this process, and the results of the Census provide useful benchmarks to manufacturers in areas such as wages and benefits, raw materials costs, and other business input. As a result, timely and accurate reporting is important, not only to our government, but to the coatings industry and other manufacturers.
If you need help with forms and wish to report online, visit econhelp.census.gov; learn all about the Economic Census at business.census.gov.
A special webinar will be hosted at 1:00 EST on Jan. 24 when you'll receive further instruction about the 2012 Economic Census, and how to respond. This instructional webinar is primarily targeted to businesses that will have just received their forms and are preparing to respond. The webinar will cover the following topics:
-
Your reporting options, including the Census’s NEW Direct Internet Reporting system and a demo of this tool
- Tours of the Business Help Site and Business.Census.Gov and the materials available to help make reporting easier
