Census Bureau Releases 2022 Nonemployer Statistics Marine Economy Table

Press Release Number: CB25-TPS.06

JAN. 21, 2025 — The U.S. Census Bureau today released the 2022 Nonemployer Statistics (NES) estimates of the U.S. Marine Economy. Nonemployer Statistics is a data product that provides subnational economic data for businesses that have no paid employees, are subject to federal income tax, and have receipts of $1,000 or more ($1 or more for the Construction sector).

Nonemployer establishment counts and receipts estimates are provided by nonstandard state- and county-equivalent geographies, comprised of selected coastal regions across each state, and by the Economics: National Ocean Watch (ENOW) sectors defined by the Office for Coastal Management at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). The ENOW sectors include Tourism and Recreation, Ship and Boat building, Marine Construction and Transportation, Offshore Minerals, and Living Resources such as fishing. 

Nonemployer Statistics estimates of the Marine Economy were publicly released starting with the 2021 reference year. The 2022 NES Marine Economy Table is available on data.census.gov.

NES data originate from business income tax records the Internal Revenue Service provides to the Census Bureau. The data are subject to nonsampling error (such as errors of self-classification by industry on tax forms) as well as errors of nonreporting and coverage. Receipts and number of establishments are slightly modified by disclosure avoidance methods used to protect confidentiality. All dollar values are expressed in current dollars and are not adjusted for price changes.
