1.  Are religious organizations covered by the Economic Census?

Establishments of religious organizations either engaged in (1) worship or religious study or training (e.g., churches, monasteries, mosques, synagogues, temples) or (2) administering an organized religion or promoting religious activities are not covered by the 2007 Economic Census. However, establishments operated by religious organizations engaged in activities covered by the Economic Census (e.g., social assistance services, hospitals, nursing homes, publishing houses, producers of religious broadcast programming for radio and television stations) are covered and the religious organization should file a census report form for each of these establishments.
