The Annual Integrated Economic Survey (AIES) is a re-engineered survey designed to integrate and replace seven existing annual business surveys into a streamlined single survey. The reporting window for the 2024 AIES has closed. The U.S. Census Bureau began releasing 2023 AIES data on a flow basis beginning in summer 2025.

The Current Population Survey (CPS), sponsored jointly by the U.S. Census Bureau and the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), is the primary source of labor force statistics for the population of the United States.
