Usage notes
Founded in 1961, it is one of the federal government's principal statistical agencies. In 2019 most of its staff were relocated from Washington to Kansas City, a move that led many employees to leave. ERS is led by an Administrator and relies on survey data collected by the National Agricultural Statistics Service.
