Annual Survey of Entrepreneurs
Add to My BasketDescription
The Annual Survey of Entrepreneurs (ASE) provides information on selected economic and demographic characteristics for businesses and business owners by gender, ethnicity, race, and veteran status. The ASE represents an exciting public-private partnership between the Census Bureau, the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation and the Minority Business Development Agency (MBDA). The ASE provides annual data on the status, nature, and scope of women-, minority-, and veteran-owned businesses. The unique design of the ASE allows for flexible content, measuring a new relevant economic topic each survey year. Additionally, the ASE produces estimates by the number of years a firm has been in business, offering a rare look at the makeup of young businesses and established businesses. Additionally, estimates are produced for employer businesses on the number of firms, sales and receipts, annual payroll, and employment. Data are presented by gender, ethnicity, race, and veteran status for the United States by 2-digit 2012 NAICS, states, the top 50 metropolitan statistical areas, employment size, receipts size, and number of years in business.
