Abstract: The survey produces estimates of revenue and expenses, and for selected industries: products, inventories, and revenue from exported services. Data is collected from businesses or other for-profit organizations, not-for-profit institutions, and government hospitals in the United States. These data are needed for national income accounting, productivity, and price measurement. The data also provides a sound statistical basis for the formation of policy by various governmental agencies. The program addresses the highest priority needs of multiple Federal agencies and private users.
