A MessAge FroM tHe cHieF econoMist—Con. the Longitudinal Business Database data was integrated into the LEHD infrastructure, which will eventually expand QWI tabulations to include the age and size of the firm. The Business Dynamics Statistics (BDS) provides annual statistics on business openings, closings, and job creation and destruction by a variety of firm characteristics. The BDS was expanded to cover a longer time period and now provides information on 1976–2009. A second version of the Synthetic Longitudinal Business Database (SynLBD) was released in 2011, covering years 1976–2000 and containing synthesized information on 21 million establishments, including establishments’ employment and payroll, birth and death years, and industrial classification. In recognition of all of these efforts, various teams encompassing CES staff were awarded a combined total of 22 bronze medals (representing 20 staff members). LEHD staff were awarded a Department of Commerce Gold Medal and the Director’s Award for Innovation for OnTheMap. Finally, we continued to expand our existing partnerships. In 2010, the Local Employment Dynamics data sharing partnership became national, with the addition of New Hampshire and Massachusetts, the last two states to join the partnership. The RDC network was expanded over multiple dimensions. We added two new locations in 2010 (Atlanta and RTI) and started work to open two more locations in 2012 (Seattle and Texas). In addition, we updated and expanded the research datasets available in the RDCs. The scope of CES’ innovative activities will continue to expand as CES now serves a wider constituency given our move into the newly formed Research and Methodology (R+M) Directorate. CES will retain our strong connections with the program areas in the Economic Directorate. The reorganization that created R+M has meant a reorganization inside of CES as well. Our previous Chief Economist, Ron Jarmin, is now the Assistant Director for R+M. In addition, five other CES staff moved into the operations staff of R+M. I was appointed the new Chief of CES and Chief Economist in late September 2011. I am looking forward to all of the exciting challenges that CES will face as we help the Census Bureau to become a more responsive, dynamic, and informative statistical agency.

Chapter 1. 2010–2011 news ces Joined tHe reseArcH And MetHodology directorAte Ron Jarmin, an economist with CES since 1992, and its Chief Economist from 2008 to 2011, was appointed Assistant Director of the newly established Research and Methodology Directorate. Reflecting the increased scope of its research and development operations, CES joined the Research and Methodology (R+M) Directorate in 2010. U.S. Census Bureau Director Robert Groves established the R+M Directorate to enhance the research and innovation capacity of the Census Bureau and to broaden and strengthen ties between the Census Bureau and the academic community. Organizationally, CES was moved from the Economic Directorate to the new R+M Directorate, joining four newly organized and reorganized centers—the Center for Statistical Research and Methodology, the Center for Survey Measurement, the Center for Administrative Records Research and Applications, and the Center for Disclosure Avoidance Research. University of Michigan statistician Rod Little was tapped as the R+M Directorate’s first leader. Ron Jarmin, an economist with CES since 1992, and its Chief Economist since 2008, was appointed Assistant Director for Research and Methodology.
