Last year, 480,000 businesses in California received 2012 Economic Census forms from the U.S. Census Bureau. Businesses that receive a form are required by law (Title 13, U.S. Code) to respond.
All businesses have the option to file on paper or electronically. For more information or help completing the form, see the Census Bureau's business help site at econhelp.census.gov or call
1-800-233-6136.
Economic indicators we use every day -- like the Gross Domestic Product, monthly retail sales, and producer price index -- all depend on the Economic Census for continued accuracy. The statistics are also used by businesses, both large and small. So, if yours is among the millions of businesses that received an Economic Census form in December -- fill it out. Send it in. America needs your numbers.
