1997 ECONOMIC CENSUS MINORITY AND WOMEN-OWNED BUSINESS
The 1997 Economic Census of Minority and Women-Owned Business Enterprises provides valuable economic data on business owners' race, ethnicity, and gender. These surveys are part of the economic census program, which the Census Bureau is required to conduct every 5 years by law (Title 13 of the United States Code). The Census Bureau combines data from these surveys with data from the other economic censuses and presents them in the Surveys of Minority and Women-Owned Business Enterprises publication series. The published data include number of firms, sales and receipts, paid employees, and annual payroll and are presented by geographic area, industry, firm size, and legal form of organization.
