2012 Economic Census 

The window of opportunity is closing on the 2012 Economic Census. Businesses that received Economic Census forms at the end of 2012 only have until June 30, 2013 to be included.
   

Why Participate?

Response to the Economic Census is important for your industry, your community and your business. Your trade association and chamber of commerce rely on information from the Census for economic development and business decisions.

 

Government agencies, analysts and business organizations nationwide also rely on Census information for planning and key economic reports. See how Census statistics are used.

Information provided by the Economic Census can also help you support decisions and planning for your own business. Learn how our statistics can help your business.

 

Did you Know?

We can help you access and learn how to use Economic Statistics. Perhaps you would like to compare your business to others. Perhaps you would like to compare your community to others. Would you like to use data to identify business markets? How about using data in business plans and loan applications?

Contact our Information Services Specialists at (630) 288-9250 or via email at chicago.pdsp@census.gov. We also offer free workshops and webinars on using the Census Bureau's American Factfinder. We can help!

 

More information about the Economic Census, including how to complete the form, electronic reporting, statistics and more can be found on our webpage at:

5 Types of Investors and How to Impress Them 
 

From "the non-responder" to "smiley," each type of investor has his or her own preferences and ways of doing business. Here's how to work with each.


5 Investor Types

  

Let's assume your business has a few things going for it--maybe a lot of things. You have your financial projections under control. You know how to tell your story to investors. But when you interact with different investors, you can still get totally different outcomes, even when the facts about your business don't change. What's going on here?
 
Investors often are making logical, merit-based decisions about where to place their capital. But their own personalities, styles of interacting, and other intangibles matter, too.

5 Signs of Burnout

Long-term overwork doesn't just cause physical exhaustion and a short temper. Here are some less expected tells that you're on your last reserves.

 

5 Signs of Burnout

Exhaustion isn't just easy to identify, it's actually pretty impossible to ignore. Fuzzy thinking, a short temper, drooping eyelids, and the need to practically hook yourself up to the coffee pot with an IV drip are all tried and tested signs that you're physically spent.

 

But burnout is a more complex beast.

 

Sure, you can get physically burnt out and feel any of the above symptoms, but sometimes burnout is more about monotony, lack of motivation, empty creative reserves or the slow but steady accumulation of little stressors and slightly too long workdays. This sort of burnout can creep up on you, slowly changing the way you function at work and at home and go unrecognized until it reaches a final, critical stage.
