How this statistic is built
DefinitionMonthly applications for an Employer Identification Number (IRS Form SS-4), seasonally adjusted — the broadest real-time signal of new business formation.
LimitationsAn application is not a business: many EINs never become active employers. High-propensity applications (those likely to hire) run far lower than the total.
