The Census is slowly releasing data from the 2007 Economic Census and they are presenting the data in a new report called Industry Snapshots . These reports give a graphic picture of industries at the 2 and 3- digit NAICS levels and include graphs of total shipments/sales, shipments/sales per employee, and a map of shipments/sales per capita. A table of industry ratios is included. Read more about these reports in this FAQ.
From any of the Snapshot reports, you can link to the Industry Sampler, the old familiar data page for an industry.
The Census Bureau is trying to be a little more creative in providing the Economic Census data, and these snapshots are a good example of that. They are also going to change how they publish the full data series – according to them, all of those drill down menus in the Industry Sampler, as well as those hundred plus page PDF files, are going to go away for 2007. The only way to access the FULL data sets for an industry or geographic area will be through the American Factfinder.
