The United States Census Bureau has conducted surveys of manufacturing activity since 1810 with fluctuating frequency. Between 1919 and 1939 the Census of Manufactures (CM) was conducted biennially. This data collection consists of individual-plant data from the Census of Manufactures for 1929, 1931, 1933, and 1935, the only years in this span for which original returns are available. The records of the Cotton Goods Industry have been coded to produce an electronic dataset to provide the basis for microeconomic evidence for the study of the Great Depression. The dataset contains observations on: basic information about the plants (e.g. name, location, owner, etc.), products made and materials used, operation and working hours, employment, wages and salaries, costs and amount of materials used, value of products and processing tax (1933 and 1935), machinery, and power used.

The Economic Census is the U.S. Government's official five-year measure of American business and the economy. It is conducted by the U.S. Census Bureau, and response is required by law. In October through December of the census year, forms are sent out to nearly 4 million businesses, including large, medium and small companies representing all U.S. locations and industries. Respondents were asked to provide a range of operational and performance data for their companies. This dataset presents company, establishments, value of shipments, value of product shipments, percentage of product shipments of the total value of shipments, and percentage of distribution of value of product shipments.

The Annual Survey of Manufactures (ASM) provides key intercensal measures of manufacturing activity, products, and location for the public and private sectors. The ASM provides the best current measure of current U.S. manufacturing industry outputs, inputs, and operating status, and is the primary basis for updates of the Longitudinal Research Database (LRD). Census Bureau staff and academic researchers with sworn agent status use the LRD for micro data analysis.

The U.S. Census Bureau.s economic indicator surveys provide monthly and quarterly data that are timely, reliable, and offer comprehensive measures of the U.S. economy. These surveys produce a variety of statistics covering construction, housing, international trade, retail trade, wholesale trade, services and manufacturing. The survey data provide measures of economic activity that allow analysis of economic performance and inform business investment and policy decisions. Other data included, which are not considered principal economic indicators, are the Quarterly Summary of State & Local Taxes, Quarterly Survey of Public Pensions, and the Manufactured Homes Survey. For information on the reliability and use of the data, including important notes on estimation and sampling variance, seasonal adjustment, measures of sampling variability, and other information pertinent to the economic indicators, visit the individual programs' webpages - http://www.census.gov/cgi-bin/briefroom/BriefRm.

Abstract

The manufacturing production and price indices include only the domestic manufacturing products. The present manufacturing production index is based on census of manufacturing establishments (CME) 2006/07. The both indices cover 23-three-digit NSIC groups and 44 commodities. The selected commodities for the index are updated at the interval of each five years. The revision is based on the census of manufacturing establishments, to be conducted quinquinnial.

Geographic coverage

National coverage

Analysis unit

Industry and Industry Group

Universe

Manufacturing establishments engaging 10 or more persons in the country.

Kind of data

Sample survey data [ssd]

Sampling procedure

The sample design for the present quarterly survey of manufacturing production and price indices are based on the census value added provided by the CME 2006/07.

Selection of four-digit NSIC industry group: All the four-digit NSIC industry groups contributing 0.5 percent or more to the total census value added are included in the frame. Accordingly, 23 four-digit NSIC industry groups are selected.

Selection of the manufacturing establishments: Selection of the manufacturing establishments within the each selected four-digit NSIC industry group has been categorized in two ways. In one hand, only five largest establishments are selected with certainty that have concentration ratio 80% or more within the same industry group. On the other hand, for those having concentration ratio less than 80%, the five largest establishments with certainty as well as the other sampled establishments are selected for the sample depending upon share of concentration ratio occupied by them. The selection is based on the probability proportional to size (PPS) sampling technique.

Selection of the commodities: The commodities are selected within each four-digit NSIC industry group on the basis of the share to the total value of shipment as provided by manufacturing census 2006/07. As per this criterion 44 manufacturing commodities are selected under the 23 four-digit NSIC industry group.

Sampling deviation

Minor deviation is due to instability of some of the sampled establishments

Mode of data collection

Both self-administered and Face-to-face

Research instrument

The questionnaire collects information on production and sales for the current and previous quarter for each manufacturing product of the establishment. Indirect taxes as well as number of employees is collected as well.

Cleaning operations

Spot checking as well as checking of the completeneess, gaps and ommission in the data at BSO level as well as consistency checking within data sets and across data sets.

Response rate

Approximaterly 85 percent

Data appraisal

Cross-checking within and across data sets as well as with previous data sets done regularly within the Industry and Industry Group
