2007 Economic Census on American FactFinder® |
 |
American FactFinder (AFF) is the primary means for accessing 2007 Economic Census data. AFF is a database system, accessible free on the Internet, that gives users access to the same Economic Census data that were published in previous censuses in AFF, on DVD- or CD-ROM, in PDF, and in various static hypertext displays.
FactFinder allows the user to search directly for the data desired, display data for all available sectors at once, and download the results for further manipulation. AFF also provides access to 2002 and 1997 Economic Census data.
Relative to the dissemination systems employed for the 2002 Economic Census, 2007 data release on AFF should allow the publication of data one to three weeks earlier within all series, AFF will allow the downloading of larger files, and AFF will be more completely integrated with the main Economic Census Web site.
