| According to its Web site, the U.S. Department of Commerce's broad range of responsibilities include expanding U.S. exports, gathering and disseminating statistical data, measuring economic growth, and granting patents. As diverse as Commerce's services are, there is an overarching mandate that unifies them: to work with the business community to foster economic growth and the creation of new American jobs.
