Census Bureau Announces Second Phase of Small Business Pulse Survey
Press Release Number 20-TPS48
AUG. 7, 2020 — The U.S. Census Bureau today announced the start of a second phase of the experimental Small Business Pulse Survey. Data collection will begin August 9, 2020. Results will be released weekly starting August 20 through Oct 15, 2020. The second phase includes questions on the core concepts from the first phase of the survey, as well as updated content on the rehiring of laid-off or furloughed employees, work from home, use of online platforms to offer goods or services, and changes in capacity of the business. The second phase expands the federal assistance questions to include tax deferrals and credits as well as the Fed's Main Street Lending program, and asks businesses about future program needs.
Data are available through the Small Business Pulse Survey Interactive Tool and downloadable files.
The Small Business Pulse Survey is designed to collect real-time data on how small businesses affected by the COVID-19 pandemic inform federal and state response and recovery planning.
