*JUNE 15, 2022* ? The U.S. Census Bureau today announced the launch of a new experimental survey to measure business conditions on an ongoing basis. The Business Trends and Outlook Survey [ [link removed] ] (BTOS) is the successor to the Small Business Pulse Survey [ [link removed] ], a high-frequency survey that measured the effect of changing business conditions during the coronavirus pandemic and other major events like hurricanes on our nation?s small businesses. ?

BTOS will increase the scope of the Small Business Pulse Survey to include large single-location employer businesses (those with 500 or more employees). It will provide insight into the state of the economy by providing continuous, timely data for key economic measures every two weeks.

High Frequency Business Survey Highlights Trends in the U.S. Economy: Two Years of the Small Business Pulse Survey

"Written by: Cathy Buffington, Nick Orsini, and Colin Shevlin"

In April 2020, the U.S. Census Bureau launched two new surveys, the Small Business Pulse Survey [ [link removed] ] (SBPS) and the Household Pulse Survey [ [link removed] ], to produce near real-time data on the challenges small businesses and households were facing due to the Coronavirus pandemic. Two years of data collection has demonstrated the value of the pulse surveys to a vast set of stakeholders including policymakers, state and local governments, nonprofit and trade organizations, businesses, academia, and the public.

The Census Bureau will continue to produce high frequency, detailed, near real-time data for businesses beginning mid-August 2022 under the new Business Trends and Outlook Survey (BTOS). The BTOS will build on the success of the SBPS, using similar methodology to capture key economic data in near real time as well as expectations about future business conditions. BTOS will produce biweekly estimates on a continuous basis, initially for all single-location employer businesses in the 50 states, District of Columbia and Puerto Rico, which are the same geographies included in SBPS.??
