Data

Nonemployer Statistics has been produced as a consistent annual series since 1997. This data is available in various formats. Prior to 1997, statistics for businesses without paid employees were published in certain Economic Census publications (Economic Census data is tabulated every five years). The National Archives hold the data files for printed reports not available online.

NES Tables

NES data tables are available on data.census.gov from 2012-present, in American Factfinder from 2004-2016, and in print publication from 1997-2004.

NES Datasets

NES data are available in downloadable CSV format, along with record layouts and reference guides, from 1997-present.

API

The Census Bureau’s Application Programming Interface (API) allows users to create custom queries. Users can embed these statistics into web or mobile apps.
