"The U.S. Census Bureau conducts a Census of Governments of all state and local government organization units every 5 years, for years ending in 2 and 7, as required by law under Title 13, U.S. Code, Section 161... The census covers three major subject fields - government organization, public employment, and government finance." Publications include Government Organization, Popularly Elected Officials, Individual State Descriptions, Government Employment (local, state, and federal levels), Employment of Major Local Governments, Compendium of Public Employment, and Government Finances. Data files include Public Use Files on Government Organization. Most recent two Censuses will be presented in American FactFinder starting in 2013 or 2014.
