On July 20, 1969, the world paused to watch and listen as America's Apollo 11 astronauts Neil Armstrong and Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin became the first humans to walk on the Moon. The historic moment was the climax of a space program that President John F. Kennedy challenged eight years earlier to "commit itself to achieving the goal, before this decade is out, of landing a man on the Moon and returning him safely to the Earth."

Data Collection Begins for New Business Trends and Outlook Survey

Data collection has begun for a new Census Bureau survey to measure business conditions on an ongoing basis. The Business Trends and Outlook Survey (BTOS) [ [link removed] ] is the successor to the Small Business Pulse Survey (SBPS), 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.  

This new survey will increase the scope of the SBPS 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.
