The CIR program has been providing monthly, quarterly, and annual measures of industrial activity for many years. The primary objective of the CIR program is to produce timely, accurate data on production and shipments of selected products. The data are used to satisfy economic policy needs and for market analysis, forecasting, and decision-making in the private sector.
Current data are released electronically on the Internet for all individual surveys as they become available. Use http://www.census.gov/econ/www/manumenu.html. Individual reports can be accessed by choosing "Current Industrial Reports (CIR's)," clicking on "Report Number Index"; from the "Industrial Products by Numeric Index," choose the survey of interest. Follow the menu to view the text (ASCII) file or Portable Document Format (PDF) file to download the worksheet file (WK format) to your personal computer. Several years of data are presented for each individual survey.
