Giving Thanks and Looking Back

C2ER and the LMI Institute are proud to be recognized as partners with the Census Bureau.  We look forward to the future and continuing to partner.

Take a look at the 2020 Census Year in Review:

Where We Are Now

Census Bureau Releases More Resources on the COVID-19 Interactive Data Hub

The U.S. Census Bureau has released an updated version of the interactive data hub on its COVID-19 resource page. The resource page is designed to help federal agencies, businesses and communities make decisions related to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Looking Forward

Census Bureau Requests Comments for the 2022 Economic Census

The Bureau of the Census (U.S. Census Bureau) publishes this notice to announce that it is planning to conduct the 2022 Economic Census. The Census Bureau also is requesting public comment on the 2022 Economic Census content. This collection will be fully electronic using a secure encrypted internet data collection system called Centurion. The Economic Census is conducted at 5-year intervals (years ending in 2 and 7) and is the most comprehensive compilation of statistics about U.S. businesses and the economy.

Written comments must be submitted on or before February 12, 2021 to ensure consideration of your comments on the 2022 Economic Census content.

Happy Holidays from C2ER & the LMI Institute!

The Weekly Update will be taking a stay-cation and will return in the new year on January 7^th.

On behalf of all the staff at C2ER and the LMI Institute, we want to wish you and yours some well-deserved downtime and a very happy new year to come.

Cheers to health, happiness, and prosperity in 2021!
