Annual Economic Surveys: Annual Survey of Manufactures Benchmark 2017

Published by U.S. Census Bureau | Department of Commerce | Metadata Last Checked: July 28, 2025 | Last Modified: 2021-03-17 00:00:00.0
The Annual Survey of Manufactures (ASM) Benchmark provides key intercensal measures of manufacturing activity and products for the public and private sectors for four years following the Economic Census of Manufacturing. These benchmark tables present manufacturing establishment statistics from the 2013-2016 Annual Survey of Manufactures (ASM). The ASM Benchmark provides statistics on employment, payroll, worker hours, cost of materials, value added by manufacturing, inventories, and estimates for value of shipments for product classes of products manufactured as defined by the North American Industry Classification System. 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.
