The American Community Survey (ACS) is an ongoing survey that provides data every year -- giving communities the current information they need to plan investments and services. Information from the survey generates data that help determine how more than $400 billion in federal and state funds are distributed each year. Economic Characteristics – class of worker, commute to work, employment status, health insurance, income and benefits, industry,occupation, and poverty.

The American Community Survey (ACS) is an ongoing survey that provides data every year -- giving communities the current information they need to plan investments and services. The 5-year estimates from the ACS are "period" estimates that represent data collected over a period of time. The primary advantage of using multiyear estimates is the increased statistical reliability of the data for less populated areas and small population subgroups. Notes on ACS Estimate:An '-999999999' entry in the estimate and margin of error columns indicates that data for this geographic area cannot be displayed because the number of sample cases is too small.An '(-888888888)' means that the estimate is not applicable or not available.A '-666666666' entry in the estimate column indicates that either no sample observations or too few sample observations were available to compute an estimate, or a ratio of medians cannot be calculated because one or both of the median estimates falls in the lowest interval or upper interval of an open-ended distribution.A '-555555555' entry in the margin of error column indicates that the estimate is controlled. A statistical test for sampling variability is not appropriate.A '-333333333' entry in the margin of error column indicates that the median falls in the lowest interval or upper interval of an open-ended distribution. A statistical test is not appropriate.A '-222222222' entry in the margin of error column indicates that either no sample observations or too few sample observations were available to compute a standard error and thus the margin of error. A statistical test is not appropriate.

The American Community Survey (ACS) produces population, demographic and housing unit estimates, it is the Census Bureau's Population Estimates Program that produces and disseminates the official estimates of the population for the nation, states, counties, cities and towns and estimates of housing units for states and counties

US : NAICS Sectors, Small Employment Sizes An enterprise is a business organisation consisting of one or more domestic establishments that were specified under common ownership or control. The enterprise and the establishment are the same for single-establishment firms. Each multi-establishment company forms one enterprise - the enterprise employment and annual payroll are summed from the associated establishments.

Note: Industry classification is based on North American Industry Classification System (NAICS). County Business Patterns (CBP) is an annual series that provides sub-national economic data by industry. This series includes the number of establishments, employment during the week of March 12, first quarter payroll, and annual payroll. This data is useful for studying the economic activity of small areas, analyzing economic changes over time, and as a benchmark for other statistical series, surveys, and databases between economic censuses. Businesses use the data for analyzing market potential, measuring the effectiveness of sales and advertising programs, setting sales quotas, and developing budgets. Government agencies use the data for administration and planning.

In addition, supporting employment outside the manufacturing sector associated with manufactured exports is provided. The data in this report also include estimates of employment associated with transporting manufactured goods for export from the plant of manufacture to the port of export. 1.

Private Sector Employment represents the figure for civilian employment less the total number of government workers from the Bureau of Labor Statistics State and Area Employment, Hours, and Earnings series. 5. Export-related employment data shown do not include jobs involved in the exports of nonmanufactured goods, such as farm products, minerals, and services sold to foreign buyers. Indirect exports exclude imported items.
