SEPT. 10, 2026 — The U.S. Census Bureau today released historical time series data as part of the 2024 Annual Integrated Economic Survey (AIES). These estimates incorporated historical results from the previously conducted annual surveys that now comprise the AIES to develop time series that maintain continuity with earlier published data.

The historical time series provide users with consistent measures of business activity that can be used to examine trends over time across various industries and geographies. These data are available through the Census Bureau’s API, allowing users to access and incorporate data into their own analyses and applications.

The data are also available through the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis (FRED) database, bringing these detailed business statistics to an expanded audience and making them readily accessible alongside thousands of other economic data series.

The AIES covers domestic, private sector and nonfarm employer businesses (those with paid employees) in operation for at least part of 2024, located in one of the 50 states or the District of Columbia and classified in one of the 19 in-scope sectors defined by the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS).

Estimates are not adjusted for price changes and may be subject to sampling variability and other sources of error. For more information (including coverage, confidentiality protection and sampling and nonsampling error), visit 2024 AIES Methodology.

The Census Bureau has reviewed the 2024 AIES data products to ensure appropriate access, use and disclosure avoidance protection of the confidential source data.
