Provide valuable economic data on business owners' race, ethnicity, and gender. These surveys are part of the economic census program, which the Census Bureau is required to conduct every 5 years by law (Title 13 of the United States Code).

The published data include number of firms, sales and receipts, paid, employees and annual payroll. Data are presented by geographic area, industry, firm size, and legal form of organization.
