Media Advisory -- Census Bureau Webinar to Discuss Upcoming 2012 Economic Census

What:

The U.S. Census Bureau is conducting a webinar to discuss the 2012 Economic Census questionnaires that more than 4 million businesses will receive in late October. The economic census is the U.S. Government's official five-year measure of American business and the economy. It provides accurate benchmark statistics that are fundamental building blocks of economic indicators, including the gross domestic product, monthly retail sales and the Producer Price Index. The economic census gives businesses the information they need to make informed decisions that affect the health of America's economy.

Please dial in by phone to listen to a simultaneous audio conference while viewing the online presentation. A question-and-answer session will follow the presentation.

Thursday, Oct. 11, 2012; 1 p.m. (EDT)
