A Message from the Director, U.S. Census Bureau:
We request your participation with the 2020 Report of Organization and the 2020 Annual Survey of
Manufactures. The Report of Organization is used to update the Census Bureau’s list of businesses, and
provides key source data for the County Business Patterns program and other statistical series. Companies,
business analysts, and trade associations use this information in planning investments, production, and
marketing. The Annual Survey of Manufactures collects key data about the manufacturing sector of the
nation’s economy. These data are used to develop accurate estimates of domestic output and productivity,
and they serve as a valuable resource for making sound decisions on economic trade policies.
