Statistics of U.S. Businesses, Business Dynamics Statistics, Business Employment Dynamics, and Nonemployer Statistics

  • “This website provides data and links to data on businesses with and without employees. These are referred to as “employer firms” and “nonemployer firms.” Employer firms have the lion’s share of receipts and payroll, while nonemployer firms are far more numerous. Data on employers and associated business characteristics are available from the Statistics of U.S. Businesses (SUSB), Business Dynamics Statistics (BDS), and Business Employment Dynamics (BED) programs and data on nonemployers is available from the Nonemployer Statistics (NE) program. The programs are annual and from the U.S. Census Bureau, except the Business Employment Dynamics which is quarterly and from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. SUSB, NE and BED have detailed industry data while BDS is available at the major industry level. SUSB and NE are available at the county level while BDS and BED are available at the state level. BED is available with only about a 9 month lag while the other datasources are available with a lag of a few years. BED’s timeliness does come at a cost in terms of accuracy of firm size compared to the other datasources. BDS is unique in that it has a firm age component. (Note that BDS data has not been updated since its inception, but it is planned to update the data in the future).”
