The Service Annual Survey (SAS) has been conducted by the Census Bureau annually since 1982 on service businesses with paid employees. The survey produces the most comprehensive data available on service activity in the United States. Administrative records data or imputed values supplement the survey to account for nonresponse, nonemployers and certain other businesses.
The SAS tables provide statistics on revenue, payroll, sources of revenue, expenses, exports, inventory, revenue from electronic sources and other selected industry-specific data for service industries.
