Abstract: The 2017 Economic Census covering 18 sectors (as defined by the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS)) will measure the economic activity of 7.4 million establishments. The economic census, conducted under authority of Title 13, United States Code (USC), is the primary source of facts about the structure and functioning of the Nation's economy. Economic statistics serve as part of the framework for the national accounts and provide essential information for government, business, and the general public.
