Abstract: The initial results of the 2012 Economic Census are being released and will continue to be released until mid-2016. It provides detailed industry and geographic data used by businesses, researchers, and government policy makers. It provides the detailed data used to benchmark the Index of Industrial Production and the Producer Price Index, and to prepare input-output accounts and quarterly GDP. The Census Bureau uses the data to benchmark most of the Census Bureau’s annual, quarterly, and monthly economic surveys and this benchmarking maintains the reliability of these sample surveys. The 2012 Economic Census is essentially the same as 2007 census.
