  3. Importance of Manufacturing and Service industry estimates • Provide the most comprehensive and timely data on Manufacturing and Services activity in the US • Significant inputs into estimates of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) • Estimates influence financial markets and affect business decisions • Provide indications of current economic trends 2:08

  9. Annual Survey of Manufactures (ASM) • Mandatory survey, establishment based • High response rate • Extensive mail and telephone follow-up • Reviewed by staff of approximately 75 professional statisticians • Publication – Thanksgiving of the following year • i.e. 2010 ASM published Thanksgiving 2011 10:08

  19. Survey Processing • Tabulation • Data edits identify cases that are inconsistent with previous reporting or are growing or declining faster than similar cases. • Put all responses on a calendar basis. • Impute for non-response based on response data of similar cases. • same approximate sales size • same kind of business 17:44

  20. Benchmarking • Once a year we benchmark the QSS estimates to the SAS estimates and the M3 to the ASM. • The sampling error of the estimates is lower in the annual surveys. • Annual samples are larger than the quarterly samples. • Annual samples are mandatory and have better response. • Every 5 years we benchmark the quarterly and annual estimates to the Economic Census. 20:28
