Why participate?

We need your help. Without participants like you, we could not fulfill our mission, and the information we publish would not accurately reflect the economic conditions of our country. The quality of our statistics depends on the number and diversity of companies in our survey. Each participant is critical to the accuracy and completeness of our data.

Our nation relies on the Bureau of Labor Statistics for gold-standard information, and we depend on you. We respect your time and appreciate your help, so we design our surveys to be efficient. Our survey questions are easy to understand and we try to minimize the time it takes to answer them.
