WASHINGTON — The U.S. Census Bureau will be sending questionnaires to an estimated 42,000 laundry and drycleaning businesses in December, launching the 2007 Economic Census.
This census – done every five years – provides official measures of outputs for industries and geographic areas, and serves as the cornerstone of the nation’s economic statistics. Most businesses with five or more paid employees – and a sample of smaller ones – will receive a census form.
