The Economics and Statistics Administration provides high-quality economic analysis and fosters the missions of the U.S. Census Bureau and the Bureau of Economic Analysis. “People tend to think about the Census as an event that happens every ten years”, Serrano said. “They would be amazed at the resources we have for small businesses and nonprofits to make plans that will take them to the next level.”
