2015 Update!

The Business Dynamics Statistics (BDS) provides annual measures of business dynamics (such as job creation and destruction, establishment births and deaths, and firm startups and shutdowns) for the economy and aggregated by establishment and firm characteristics. The BDS is created from the Longitudinal Business Database (../datasets/lbd.html) (LBD), a confidential database available to qualified researchers through secure Federal Statistical Research Data Centers (https://www.census.gov/fsrdc). The use of the LBD as its source data permits tracking establishments and firms over time.

This

release of the Business Dynamics Statistics (BDS) provides a limited set of statistics for the year 2015. Historical time series are available from earlier releases. This temporary reduction in detail will allow the team supporting the program to focus on modernizing the methodology that generates the BDS. The goal for the next release (planned for 2018) is to provide an expanded set of tables that incorporate long-planned enhancements, including a switch from the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) system to the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS).

2015 statistics are tabulated for the following categories.

1. Economy wide

2. State

3. Sector

4. Firm age

5. Firm size

6. Firm initial size

7. Metro/non metro

Establishment characteristics data tables:

1. Economy wide

3. Sector

4. Establishment age

5. Establishment size
