The U.S. Census Bureau has officially launched its newest survey ? the Annual Integrated Economic Survey (AIES).
On Friday, March 15, approximately 370,000 businesses began receiving notices to respond to the 2023 AIES. This new survey will provide key measures of economic activity, including the only comprehensive national and subnational data on business revenues, expenses and assets on an annual basis.
The due date for responses to the 2023 AIES is April 30, 2024, and the first annual release of data will be in summer 2025.
To ease respondent burden and streamline data collection, the AIES is designed to consolidate and combine content from seven current economic surveys.?

As part of our ongoing commitment to innovation and to address our many stakeholder needs, the Economic Directorate has been working across all areas of the U.S. Census Bureau to reengineer our annual economic surveys. This process began in 2015, when the Census Bureau asked the Committee on National Statistics (CNSTAT) of the National Academies of Science, Engineering and Medicine to assemble a panel to conduct a comprehensive review of our annual economic surveys. Their findings and recommendations are summarized in this 2018 report ?Reengineering the Census Bureau?s Annual Economic Surveys,? resulting in the Annual Integrated Economic Survey (AIES) that began data collection March 15.
Seven legacy annual economic surveys listed below have all had their final releases in their current format and are now integrated into a single survey ? the AIES.
