The U.S. Census Bureau has released the 2023 Business Dynamics Statistics (BDS), which provide annual data on key measures such as job creation and destruction, establishment births and deaths, and firm startups and shutdowns. The BDS dataset covers trends from 1978 through 2023.
According to the Census Bureau, users can access the data through several platforms, including the main BDS site, the Census API, and BDS Explorer. The BDS Explorer tool allows users to visualize data with line charts, bar charts, thematic maps, and create custom tables for analysis.
“Data are available on BDS, in the Census API and in BDS Explorer. The explorer tool provides access to the entire BDS dataset via line charts, bar charts and thematic maps. The application’s intuitive dashboard allows data users to construct tables and charts for comparing and organizing measures of business dynamics.”
For more information about accessing or using these resources, individuals are encouraged to visit the official BDS or BDS Explorer websites.
