Introduction to the Economic Census PURPOSES AND USES OF THE ECONOMIC CENSUS The economic census is the major source of facts about the structure and functioning of the Nation s economy. It provides essential information for government, business, industry, and the general public. Title 13 of the United States Code (Sections 131, 191, and 224) directs the Census Bureau to take the economic census every 5 years, covering years ending in 2 and 7. The economic census furnishes an important part of the framework for such composite measures as the gross domestic product estimates, input/output measures, production and price indexes, and other statistical series that measure short-term changes in economic conditions. Specific uses of economic census data include the following: Policymaking agencies of the Federal Government use the data to monitor economic activity and assess the effectiveness of policies. State and local govern use the data to assess business activities and tax bases within their jurisdictions and to develop programs to attract business. Trade associations study trends in their own and competing industries, which allows them to keep their members informed of market changes. Individual businesses use the data to locate potential markets and to analyze their own production and sales performance relative to industry or area averages. ALL-NEW INDUSTRY CLASSIFICATIONS Data from the 1997 Economic Census are published primarily on the basis of the North American Industry Classification System (), unlike earlier censuses, which were published according to the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) system. is in the process of being adopted in the United States, Canada, and Mexico. Most economic census reports cover one of the following sectors: 21 Mining 22 Utilities 23 Construction 31-33 Manufacturing 42 Wholesale Trade 44-45 Retail Trade 48-49 Transportation and Warehousing 51 Information 1997 ECONOMIC CENSUS 52 Finance and Insurance 53 Real Estate and Rental and Leasing 54 Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services 55 Management of Companies and Enterprises 56 Adminis and Support and Waste Management and Remediation Services 61 Educational Services 62 Health Care and Social Assistance 71 Arts, Entertainment, and Recreation 72 Accommodation and Foodservices 81 Other Services (except Public Administration) (Not listed above are the Agriculture, Forestry, Fishing, and Hunting sector ( 11), partially covered by the census of agriculture conducted by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, and the Public Administration sector ( 92), covered by the census of govern conducted by the Census Bureau.) The 20 sectors are subdivided into 96 subsectors (three-digit s), 313 industry groups (four-digit s), and, as implemented in the United States, 1170 industries (five- and six-digit s). RELATIONSHIP TO SIC While many of the individual industries correspond directly to industries as defined under the SIC system, most of the higher level groupings do not. Particular care should be taken in comparing data for retail trade, wholesale trade, and manufacturing, which are sector titles used in both and SIC, but cover somewhat different groups of industries. The industry definitions discuss the relationships between and SIC industries. Where changes are significant, it will not be possible to construct time series that include data for points both before and after 1997. For 1997, data for auxiliary establish (those functioning primarily to manage, service, or support the activities of their company s operating establish, such as a central adminis office or warehouse) will not be included in the sector-specific reports. These data will be published separately. GEOGRAPHIC AREA CODING Accurate and complete information on the physical location of each establishment is required to tabulate the census data for the states, metropolitan areas (MAs), counties, parishes, and corporate municipalities cities, towns, villages, and boroughs. Respondents were INTRODUCTION 1 U.S. Census Bureau, 1997 Economic Census

required to report their physical location (street address, municipality, county, and state) if it differed from their mailing address. For establish not surveyed by mail (and those single-establishment companies that did not provide acceptable information on physical location), location information from Internal Revenue Service tax forms is used as a basis for coding. BASIS OF REPORTING The economic census is conducted on an establishment basis. A company operating at more than one location is required to file a separate report for each store, factory, shop, or other location. Each establishment is assigned a separate industry classification based on its primary activity and not that of its parent company. DOLLAR VALUES All dollar values presented are expressed in current dollars; i.e., 1997 data are expressed in 1997 dollars, and 1992 data, in 1992 dollars. Consequently, when making comparisons with prior years, users of the data should consider the changes in prices that have occurred. All dollar values are shown in thousands of dollars. AVAILABILITY OF ADDITIONAL DATA Reports in Print and Electronic Media All results of the 1997 Economic Census are available on the Census Bureau Internet site (www.census.gov) and on compact discs (CD-ROM) for sale by the Census Bureau. Unlike previous censuses, only selected highlights are published in printed reports. For more information, a description of electronic and printed reports being issued, see the Internet site, or write to U.S. Census Bureau, Washington, DC 20233-8300, or call Customer Services at 301-457-4100. Special Tabulations Special tabulations of data collected in the 1997 Economic Census may be obtained, depending on availability of time and personnel, in electronic or tabular form. The data will be summaries subject to the same rules prohibiting disclosure of confidential information ( name, address, kind of business, or other data for individual business establish or companies) that govern the regular publications. Special tabulations are prepared on a cost basis. A request for a cost estimate, as well as exact specifications on the type and format of the data to be provided, should be directed to the Chief of the division named below, U.S. Census Bureau, Washington, DC 20233-8300. To discuss a special tabulation before submitting specifications, call the appropriate division: Manufacturing and Construction Division 301-457-4673 Service Sector Statistics Division 301-457-2668 HISTORICAL INFORMATION The economic census has been taken as an integrated program at 5-year intervals since 1967 and before that for 1954, 1958, and 1963. Prior to that time, individual components of the economic census were taken separately at varying intervals. The economic census traces its beginnings to the 1810 Decennial Census, when questions on manufacturing were included with those for population. Coverage of economic activities was expanded for the 1840 Decennial Census and subsequent censuses to include mining and some commercial activities. The 1905 Manufactures Census was the first time a census was taken apart from the regular decennial population census. Censuses covering retail and wholesale trade and construction industries were added in 1930, as were some covering service trades in 1933. Censuses of construction, manufacturing, and the other business service censuses were suspended during World War II. The 1954 Economic Census was the first census to be fully integrated: providing comparable census data across economic sectors, using consistent time s, concepts, definitions, classifications, and reporting units. It was the first census to be taken by mail, using lists of firms provided by the adminis records of other Federal agencies. Since 1963, adminis records also have been used to provide basic statistics for very small firms, reducing or eliminating the need to send them census questionnaires. The range of industries covered in the economic censuses expanded between 1967 and 1992. The census of construction industries began on a regular basis in 1967, and the scope of service industries, introduced in 1933, was broadened in 1967, 1977, and 1987. While a few transportation industries were covered as early as 1963, it was not until 1992 that the census broadened to include all of transportation, communications, and utilities. Also new for 1992 was coverage of financial, insurance, and real estate industries. With these additions, the economic census and the separate census of govern and census of agriculture collectively covered roughly 98 percent of all economic activity. Printed statistical reports from the 1992 and earlier censuses provide historical figures for the study of longterm time series and are available in some large libraries. All of the census reports printed since 1967 are still available for sale on microfiche from the Census Bureau. CD-ROMs issued from the 1987 and 1992 Economic Censuses contain databases nearly all data published in print, plus additional statistics, such as ZIP Code statistics, published only on CD-ROM. 2 INTRODUCTION 1997 ECONOMIC CENSUS U.S. Census Bureau, 1997 Economic Census

Adminis and Support and Waste Management and Remediation Services SCOPE The Adminis and Support and Waste Management and Remediation Services sector (sector 56) of the 1997 Economic Census comprises establish performing routine support activities for the day-to-day operations of other organizations. These essential activities are often undertaken in-house by establish in many sectors of the economy. The establish in this sector specialize in one or more of these support activities and provide these services to clients in a variety of industries and, in some cases, to households. Activities performed include: office administration, hiring and placing of personnel, document preparation and similar clerical services, solicitation, collection, security and surveillance services, cleaning, and waste disposal services. The adminis and management activities performed by establish in this sector are typically on a contract or fee basis. These activities may also be performed by establish that are part of the company or enterprise. However, establish involved in administering, overseeing, and managing other establish of the company or enterprise, are classified in Sector 55, Management of Companies and Enterprises. These establish normally undertake the strategic and organizational planning and decision making role of the company or enterprise. Government establish engaged in administering, overseeing, and managing governmental programs are classified in Sector 92, Public Administration. Data for this sector are shown for establish of firms subject to Federal income tax. Many of the kinds of business or operation included in this sector are not thought of as commercial businesses and the terms (such as business, establishment, and firm ) used to describe them may not be descriptive of such services. However, these terms are applied to all kinds of business or operation in order to maintain conformity in the measures of the production and delivery of goods and services and in the presentation of data. The basic tabulations for this sector do not include data for establish which are auxiliary (primary function is providing a service, such as warehousing or bookkeeping) to service establish within the same organization. Data for auxiliaries are presented separately. GENERAL A list of reports that provide statistics on sector 56 follows. 1997 ECONOMIC CENSUS Geographic area reports. There is a separate report for each state, the District of Columbia, and the United States. For establish of firms subject to Federal income tax, each state report presents general statistics on number of establish, receipts,, and employment by kind of business for the state, metropolitan areas (MAs), counties, and places with 2,500 inhabitants or more. Greater kind-of-business detail is shown for larger areas. The United States report presents data for the United States as a whole for establish with of firms subject to Federal income tax for detailed kind-of-business classifications. Sources of receipts report. This report presents sources of receipts data for establish with by kind of business. Data are presented for the United States and states. Establishment and firm size ( legal form of organization) report. This report presents receipts,, and employment data for the United States by receipts size, by employment size, and by legal form of organization for establish; and receipts size ( concentration by largest firms), by employment size, and by number of establish operated (single units and multiunits) for firms. Miscellaneous subjects report. This report presents data for establish with for a variety of industry-specific questions. Presentation of data varies by kind of business. ZIP Code report. This report presents data for establish with by United States ZIP Code. GEOGRAPHIC AREAS COVERED The level of geographic detail varies by report. Data may be presented for: 1. The United States as a whole. 2. States and the District of Columbia. 3. Consolidated metropolitan statistical areas (CMSAs) and primary metropolitan statistical areas (PMSAs) defined by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) as of June 30, 1997. A CMSA is an area used to facilitate the presentation and analysis of data for large concentrations of metropolitan populations. It includes two or more contiguous PMSAs which have a ADMIN. & SUPPORT & WASTE MGT. & REMED. SERV. 5 U.S. Census Bureau, 1997 Economic Census

population of at least 1,000,000 (according to the 1990 Census of Population or subsequent special census) and which meet specific criteria of urban character and of social and economic integration. 4. Metropolitan statistical areas (MSAs) defined by the OMB as of June 30, 1997. An MSA is an integrated economic and social unit with a population nucleus of at least 50,000 inhabitants (according to the 1990 Census of Population or subsequent special census). Each MSA consists of one or more counties meeting standards of metropolitan character. In New England, cities and towns rather than counties are the component geographic units. 5. Areas within the state outside metropolitan areas (MAs). 6. Counties and county equivalents defined as of January 1, 1997. Counties are the primary divisions of states, except in Louisiana where they are called parishes and in Alaska where they are called boroughs and census areas. Maryland, Missouri, Nevada, and Virginia have one place or more that is independent of any county organization and constitutes primary divisions of their states. These places are treated as counties and as places. 7. Consolidated cities defined as of January 1, 1997. Consolidated cities are consolidated govern which consist of separately incorporated municipalities. 8. Municipalities of 2,500 inhabitants or more defined as of January 1, 1997. These are areas of significant population incorporated as cities, boroughs, villages, or towns according to the 1990 Census of Population or subsequent special census. For the economic census, boroughs and census areas in Alaska and boroughs in New York are not included in this category. 9. Special economic urban areas (SEUAs), which include townships in Michigan, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania, and towns in New York, Wisconsin, and the six New England states with 10,000 inhabitants or more (according to the 1990 Census of Population or subsequent special census). COMPARABILITY OF THE 1992 AND 1997 CENSUSES The 1997 Economic Census is the first census to present data based on the new North American Industry Classification System (). Previous census data were presented according to the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) system developed some 60 years ago. Due to this change, comparability between census years may be limited. Comparative statistics will be included as part of the Core Business Statistics Reports. DISCLOSURE In accordance with Federal law governing census reports (Title 13 of the United States Code), no data are published that would disclose the operations of an individual establishment or business. However, the number of establish in a kind-of-business classification is not considered a disclosure; therefore, this information may be released even though other information is withheld. AVAILABILITY OF MORE FREQUENT ECONOMIC DATA The Census Bureau conducts the Service Annual Survey (SAS) each year. This survey, while providing more frequent observations, yields less kind-of-business and geographic detail than the economic census. In addition, the County Business Patterns program offers annual statistics on the number of establish, employment, and classified by industry within each county. 6 ADMIN. & SUPPORT & WASTE MGT. & REMED.
