Background Information |
Sample Map
In addition to the decennial census, assessing the nation’s
economic programs is the U.S. Census
Bureau’s primary program commitment. These programs cover virtually every
sector of the economy, feature unique industry and geographic statistics,
and provide information that is critical for understanding the changing
economic structure and performance of the United States and its
territories. They yield data products from the economic census covering
years ending in "2" and "7." Economic programs
statistics are widely used by policy officials, economic analysts, business
decision-makers, and the news media.
The 2007 Economic Census reports that nearly 2,500 gambling establishments in the United States
generated over $26 billion in receipts and revenues.
