Content
Collected data include operating revenue for both taxable and tax-exempt firms and organizations;
sources of revenue and expenses by type for selected industries; operating expenses for taxexempt firms; and selected industry-specific items. In addition, starting with the 1999 survey, ecommerce data were collected for all industries, and export and inventory data were collected for
selected industries.

Frequency
Data collection begins in January following the survey year. Reported data are for activities which
take place during the calendar year. Prior to 1982, the survey was conducted monthly and since
that time it has been conducted annually. A new sample is introduced roughly every 5 to 7 years.

Methods
This is a survey of approximately 72,000 selected service businesses with paid employees;
supplemented by administrative records data or imputed values to account for non-employer and
certain other businesses. To be eligible for the list sample, service businesses must be in the
Business Register List (BR), which contains all Employer Identification Numbers (EINs) for listed
businesses and all locations of multi-establishment companies. EINs may represent one or more
establishments and firms may have one or more EINs.
In the initial sampling, companies are stratified by major and minor kind of business, and by
estimated receipts or revenue. All companies with total receipts above applicable size cutoffs are
included in the survey and report for all their service industry locations. In a second stage, EINs of
unselected companies are stratified by major kind of business and receipts or revenue. Within each
stratum a simple random sample of EINs is selected.

Annual Services Report About the Report

The initial sample is updated quarterly to reflect births and deaths, adding new employer businesses
identified in the business and professional classification survey, and dropping firms and EINs that
are no longer active. During interim periods, service non-employer and other businesses are

represented by administrative records data or imputed values.

Products
The Annual Services Report is normally published no later than 13 months after the end of the
reporting year. Summary data (total revenue and total expenses) are provided at the sector, subsector and industry group level for the survey year and past years. Detailed expense data are
published for select sectors and subsectors. Industry specific data, such as product line and

detailed revenue (source of funding), are provided for selected industries. In addition, there are data
for selected kinds of business by federal income-tax status (taxable and tax-exempt).

Uses
The Bureau of Economic Analysis uses these data in its preparation of national income and product
accounts, and its benchmark and annual input-output tables. The Bureau of Labor Statistics uses
the data as input to its producer price indexes and in developing productivity measurements. The
Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) uses the data to estimate expenditures for the
National Health Accounts. The Coalition of Service Industries uses data for general research and
planning.
Trade and professional organizations use the estimates to analyze industry trends and benchmark
their own statistical programs, develop forecasts, and evaluate regulatory requirements. The media
use estimates for news reports and background information. Private businesses use the estimates
to measure market share; analyze business potential; and plan investment decisions.

Special Features
The Annual Services Report provides the only source of annual receipts estimates for the service
industries.
