The U.S. Census Bureau today released new data products from the Business Trends and Outlook Survey (BTOS), a survey that measures business conditions and projections on an ongoing basis. The BTOS includes data for multiunit/multilocation businesses. BTOS will continue to collect data complementary to key items found on other Economic surveys, such as revenues, employees, hours, and inventories. Additional details on artificial intelligence use and types used were added for one cycle and released March 28, 2024.
Starting Nov. 4, 2024, Work from home (WFH) questions will be added to the BTOS for cycle 2 (11/4/2024-1/26/2025). WFH became essential during the pandemic and remains a key feature in many workplaces, yet existing measures reveal significant data gaps in understanding its scope, particularly from the business perspective. To address this, eleven WFH questions were developed for the BTOS, covering the share and frequency of WFH, challenges, management policies, and business impact. WFH data will be released in the spring.
