MARCH 14, 2025 – The U.S. Census Bureau today began collecting data for the 2024 Annual Integrated Economic Survey (AIES). One of the Census Bureau’s newest surveys, the AIES is designed to integrate and replace seven existing business surveys into a streamlined single survey. The AIES provides key measures of economic activity, including the only comprehensive national and subnational data on business revenues, expenses and assets on an annual basis. AIES data can be used to track economic trends, assess industry performance, support policy development, and inform economic planning, resource allocation and market research.

More information about these surveys and AIES innovations is available in our blog, "Integrating Our Business Statistics for an Ever-Changing U.S. Economy.”

About 298,000 businesses will receive the survey. Businesses are asked to respond within 30 days of receipt. The first AIES data are scheduled to be released beginning this summer.
