Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA).
The reports reviewed in this article

Economic Censuses, the American
Time Use Survey, and new quarterly
surveys on domestic and international
services. New information on outsourcing
will be included in the economic
census. In addition, the article
reviews a BLS report on job gains
and losses and a BEA report on offshore
outsourcing, both released for
the first time in 2003.
