Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The U.S. Bureau of the Census: County Business Patterns is the best choice for obtaining data on the number of firms by size, industry, and location. The Bureau of Labor Statistics provides data on employment and wages for different industries, but not necessarily the number of firms. The National Transportation Service and the Federal Reserve are not directly related to collecting data on nonresidential properties.
