The Census Bureau has conducted the Annual Survey of Manufactures (ASM) since 1949 to provide key measures of manufacturing activity during intercensal periods. The
ASM furnishes up­to­date estimates of employment and payroll, hours and wages of production workers, value added by manufacture, cost of materials, value of shipments
by product class, inventories, and expenditures for both plant and equipment and structures. The survey also provides valuable information to private companies, research
organizations, and trade associations.
