The Economic Census provides a detailed portrait of the Nation's economy once every five years, from the national to the local level.  The 2002 Economic Census covers nearly all of the U.S. economy in its basic collection of establishment statistics. There also are several related programs, including statistics on minority- and women-owned businesses. Censuses of agriculture and governments are conducted at the same time.  Results from the census are being issued on the Internet and on DVD-ROM, starting in early 2004 and continuing for more than 2 years.
