In an effort to improve the measurement of business dynamics in the United States, the Census Bureau is conducting the 2025 Annual Business Survey (ABS), covering reference year 2024. The ABS combines Census Bureau firm-level collections to reduce respondent burden, increase data quality, reduce operational costs, and operate more efficiently. The ABS provides information on selected economic and demographic characteristics for businesses and business owners by sex, ethnicity, race, and veteran status. Further, the survey measures research and development for microbusinesses, new business topics such as innovation and technology, as well as other business characteristics.
