Census Bureau Celebrates the 10th Anniversary of Manufacturing Day
 This week, the U.S. Census Bureau is celebrating the manufacturing sector’s importance and vast economic contribution to the nation in the lead up to Manufacturing Day this Friday. Manufacturing Day has been held on the first Friday in October since 2011.
The Census Bureau has created a Manufacturing Week homepage with a compilation of manufacturing statistics and data products and is posting historical facts about manufacturing on Twitter, Linkedin, Instagram, and Facebook throughout the week.
The page features a wide range of resources, including America Counts stories, manufacturing infographics, and relevant webinars. Check it out and help us share our manufacturing data and resources throughout the week using the hashtags #MFGDay21 and #CensusEconData on social media.
 New Community Resilience Estimates Data Equity Resource
 The Census Bureau released the CRE for Equity data tool this week. In an easy-to-use dashboard, this new tool pulls together existing data to measure social vulnerability and equity gaps at the community level while providing context about the varying needs of different communities.
To measure these concepts, in the summer of 2020, the Census Bureau launched the 2019 Community Resilience Estimates (CRE) to measure social vulnerability. This information was combined with data from other sources such as the American Community Survey and the Census Bureau’s Planning Database. Providing all of this information in one dataset allows users quick access to the data on a variety of topics concerning social vulnerability and equity unlike any other measures.
