Additional information

Data analysis reported in this study was conducted on-site at the U.S. Bureau of the Census Center for Economic Studies. Findings do not reflect the views of the Census Bureau, nor does the Bureau endorse or pass judgment upon the validity of the findings presented here. Funding support from the U.S. Small Business Administration is acknowledged: their funds were helpful, but their delays, ever-changing personnel assigned to oversee this project, and occasional lapses in professionalism were not.
