California Business Portal

The Census Bureau has launched a new Web site to help businesses understand the economic census and how it benefits them.  The site includes economic snapshots of selected industries and business facts and ratios about every industry.  The economic census is conducted every five years, and more than four million businesses will get forms later this year for the 2007 Economic Census.  Check it out a the following Web site:
