NOTE:
Enterprise Statistics was not funded for 1997; Therefore, the 1992 data available at this site are the most current for the Enterprise Statistics program.

As an alternative, Statistics of U.S. Businesses (SUSB) provides enterprise size data on an annual basis. These data are tabulated from the County Business Patterns database and are available from 1989-1999. Due to differences in scope, methodology, and industry classification, the 1992 Enterprise data and 1992 SUSB data are not comparable at all levels.
(for more information, see section 4.6 in the following paper: Data on Establishments by Firm Size(.pdf) )

As part of the Surveys of Minority- and Women-Owned Business Enterprises (SMOBE), a 1997 COMPANY SUMMARY report.(pdf) has been released.
This report is new for 1997 and is not a sequel to the 1992 Company Summary Report from the Enterprise Statistics program. In addition, the data from the 1997 Company Summary report are not comparable to the 1997 Statistics of US Businesses (SUSB) data due to differences in scope, methodology, and industry classification.
SMOBE's 1997 Company Summary report publishes statistics for all U.S. firms (paid employer firms and nonemployers) by race, gender, ethnicity, industry, legal form of organization and employment and receipt size.

Enterprise Statistics -- 1992
(Discontinued)

The Enterprise Statistics program is based on establishment data collected in the Economic Censuses. Selected data of these establishments are aggregated to the enterprise level to provide comprehensive data for entire companies and their owned establishments, including auxiliary establishments (i.e. headquarters offices, research and development facilities, and data processing centers).

For more details, go to Introduction or Coverage and Methodology.

Enterprise Statistics data include:
  • Company Summary
  • Large Companies
  • Auxiliary Establishments
Consolidated company data include sales, employment, payroll, form of organization and enterprise industry classification. Supplementary data for large companies include inventories, assets, fringe benefits, capital and research and development (R&D) expenditures, and depreciation. Data for auxiliaries include sales, employment and payroll, billings, inventories, capital and R&D expenditures, and selected purchased services.
