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 thenation’s economy. It provides essential information for government, business, industry, and thegeneral public. Title 13 of the United States Code (Sections 131, 191, and 224) directs the CensusBureau 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 measuresas 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 usesof economic census data include the following:

• Policymaking agencies of the federal government use the data to monitor economic activity andto assess the effectiveness of policies.

• State and local governments use the data to assess business activities and tax bases withintheir jurisdictions and to develop programs to attract business.

• Trade associations study trends in their own and competing industries, which allows them tokeep their members informed of market changes.

• Individual businesses use the data to locate potential markets and to analyze their own produc-tion and sales performance relative to industry or area averages.

INDUSTRY CLASSIFICATIONS

Data from the 2002 Economic Census are published primarily according to the 2002 North Ameri-can Industry Classification System (NAICS). NAICS was first adopted in the United States, Canada,and Mexico in 1997. The 2002 Economic Census covers the following NAICS sectors:

21 Mining22 Utilities23 Construction31-33 Manufacturing42 Wholesale Trade44-45 Retail Trade48-49 Transportation and Warehousing51 Information52 Finance and Insurance53 Real Estate and Rental and Leasing54 Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services55 Management of Companies and Enterprises56 Administrative and Support and Waste Management and Remediation Services61 Educational Services62 Health Care and Social Assistance71 Arts, Entertainment, and Recreation72 Accommodation and Food Services81 Other Services (except Public Administration)

(Not listed above are the Agriculture, Forestry, Fishing, and Hunting sector (NAICS 11), partiallycovered by the census of agriculture conducted by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, and thePublic Administration sector (NAICS 92), largely covered by the census of governments conductedby the Census Bureau.)

The 20 NAICS sectors are subdivided into 100 subsectors (three-digit codes), 317 industry groups(four-digit codes), and, as implemented in the United States, 1,179 industries (six-digit codes).

Introduction v2002 Economic Census

U.S. Census Bureau, 2002 Economic Census

RELATIONSHIP TO HISTORICAL INDUSTRY CLASSIFICATIONS

Prior to the 1997 Economic Census, data were published according to the Standard Industrial Clas-sification (SIC) system. While many of the individual NAICS industries correspond directly to indus-tries as defined under the SIC system, most of the higher level groupings do not. Particular careshould be taken in comparing data for retail trade, wholesale trade, and manufacturing, which aresector titles used in both NAICS and SIC, but cover somewhat different groups of industries. The1997 Economic Census Bridge Between NAICS and SIC demonstrates the relationships betweenNAICS and SIC industries. Where changes are significant, it may not be possible to construct timeseries that include data for points both before and after 1997.

Most industry classifications remained unchanged between 1997 and 2002, but NAICS 2002includes substantial revisions within the construction and wholesale trade sectors, and a numberof revisions for the retail trade and information sectors. These changes are noted in industry defi-nitions and will be demonstrated in the Bridge Between NAICS 2002 and NAICS 1997.

For 2002, data for enterprise support establishments (those functioning primarily to support theactivities of their company’s operating establishments, such as a warehouse or a research anddevelopment laboratory) are included in the industry that reflects their activities (such as ware-housing). For 1997, such establishments were termed auxiliaries and were excluded from industrytotals.

BASIS OF REPORTING

The economic census is conducted on an establishment basis. A company operating at more thanone 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 andnot that of its parent company. (For selected industries, only payroll, employment, and classifica-tion are collected for individual establishments, while other data are collected on a consolidatedbasis.)

GEOGRAPHIC AREA CODING

Accurate and complete information on the physical location of each establishment is required totabulate the census data for states, metropolitan and micropolitan statistical areas, counties, andcorporate municipalities (places) including cities, towns, townships, villages, and boroughs.Respondents were required to report their physical location (street address, municipality, county,and state) if it differed from their mailing address. For establishments not surveyed by mail (andthose single-establishment companies that did not provide acceptable information on physicallocation), location information from administrative sources is used as a basis for coding.

AVAILABILITY OF ADDITIONAL DATA

All results of the 2002 Economic Census are available on the Census Bureau Internet site(www.census.gov) and on digital versatile discs (DVD-ROMs) for sale by the Census Bureau. TheAmerican FactFinder system at the Internet site allows selective retrieval and downloading of thedata. For more information, including a description of reports being issued, see the Internet site,write to the U.S. Census Bureau, Washington, DC 20233-6100, or call Customer Services at 301-763-4100.

HISTORICAL INFORMATION

The economic census has been taken as an integrated program at 5-year intervals since 1967 andbefore that for 1954, 1958, and 1963. Prior to that time, individual components of the economiccensus were taken separately at varying intervals.

The economic census traces its beginnings to the 1810 Decennial Census, when questions onmanufacturing were included with those for population. Coverage of economic activities wasexpanded for the 1840 Decennial Census and subsequent censuses to include mining and somecommercial activities. The 1905 Manufactures Census was the first time a census was taken apart

vi Introduction 2002 Economic Census


from the regular decennial population census. Censuses covering retail and wholesale trade andconstruction industries were added in 1930, as were some service trades in 1933. Censuses ofconstruction, manufacturing, and the other business censuses were suspended during World WarII.

The 1954 Economic Census was the first census to be fully integrated, providing comparable cen-sus data across economic sectors and using consistent time periods, concepts, definitions, classi-fications, and reporting units. It was the first census to be taken by mail, using lists of firms pro-vided by the administrative records of other federal agencies. Since 1963, administrative recordsalso have been used to provide basic statistics for very small firms, reducing or eliminating theneed to send them census report forms.

The range of industries covered in the economic census expanded between 1967 and 2002. Thecensus of construction industries began on a regular basis in 1967, and the scope of serviceindustries, introduced in 1933, was broadened in 1967, 1977, and 1987. While a few transporta-tion industries were covered as early as 1963, it was not until 1992 that the census broadened toinclude all of transportation, communications, and utilities. Also new for 1992 was coverage offinancial, insurance, and real estate industries. With these additions, the economic census and theseparate census of governments and census of agriculture collectively covered roughly 98 percentof all economic activity. New for 2002 is coverage of four industries classified in the agriculture,forestry, and fishing sector under the SIC system: landscape architectural services, landscapingservices, veterinary services, and pet care services.

Printed statistical reports from the 1992 and earlier censuses provide historical figures for thestudy of long-term time series and are available in some large libraries. Reports for 1997 werepublished primarily on the Internet and copies of 1992 reports are also available there. CD-ROMsissued from the 1987, 1992, and 1997 Economic Censuses contain databases that include all ornearly all data published in print, plus additional statistics, such as ZIP Code statistics, publishedonly on CD-ROM.

viii Introduction 2002 Economic Census


Wholesale Trade

SCOPE

The Wholesale Trade sector (sector 42) comprises establishments engaged in wholesaling mer-chandise, generally without transformation, and rendering services incidental to the sale of mer-chandise.

The wholesaling process is an intermediate step in the distribution of merchandise. Wholesalersare organized to sell or arrange the purchase or sale of:

1. goods for resale (i.e., goods sold to other wholesalers or retailers),

2. capital or durable nonconsumer goods, or

3. raw and intermediate materials and supplies used in production.

Wholesalers sell merchandise to other businesses and normally operate from a warehouse oroffice. These warehouses and offices are characterized by having little or no display of merchan-dise. In addition, neither the design nor the location of the premises is intended to solicit walk-intraffic. Wholesalers do not normally use advertising directed to the general public. Customers aregenerally reached initially via telephone, in-person marketing, or by specialized advertising thatmay include Internet or other electronic means. Follow-up orders are either vendor-initiated orclient-initiated, generally based on previous sales, and typically exhibit strong ties between sellersand buyers. In fact, transactions are often conducted between wholesalers and clients that havelong-standing business relationships.

This sector comprises two main types of wholesalers: merchant wholesalers that sell goods ontheir own account and business to business electronic markets, and agents and brokers thatarrange sales and purchases for others generally for a commission or fee.

1. Establishments that sell goods on their own account are known as wholesale merchants, dis-tributors, jobbers, drop shippers, and import/export merchants. Also included as wholesalemerchants are sales offices and sales branches (but not retail stores) maintained by manufac-turing, refining, or mining enterprises apart from their plants or mines for the purpose of mar-keting their products. Merchant wholesale establishments typically maintain their own ware-house, where they receive and handle goods for their customers. Goods are generally soldwithout transformation, but may include integral functions, such as sorting, packaging, label-ing, and other marketing services.

2. Establishments arranging for the purchase or sale of goods owned by others or purchasinggoods, generally on a commission basis, are known as business to business electronic mar-kets, agents and brokers, commission merchants, import/export agents and brokers, auctioncompanies, and manufacturers’ representatives. These establishments operate from officesand generally do not own or handle the goods they sell.

Some wholesale establishments may be connected with a single manufacturer and promote andsell the particular manufacturer’s products to a wide range of other wholesalers or retailers. Otherwholesalers may be connected to a retail chain, or a limited number of retail chains, and provide avariety of products needed by the retail operation(s). These wholesalers may obtain the productsfrom a wide range of manufacturers. Still other wholesalers may not take title to the goods, butact as agents and brokers for a commission.

Although wholesaling normally denotes sales in large volumes, durable nonconsumer goods maybe sold in single units. Sales of capital or durable nonconsumer goods used in the production ofgoods and services, such as farm machinery, medium and heavy duty trucks, and industrialmachinery, are always included in wholesale trade.

Wholesale Trade ix2002 Economic Census


Exclusions. Excluded from this sector are governmental organizations classified in the coveredindustries except for liquor wholesalers operated by state and local governments.

The tabulations for this sector do not include central administrative offices or other establish-ments that serve wholesale establishments within the same organization. Data for such establish-ments are classified according to the nature of the service they provide. For example, separateheadquarters establishments are reported in NAICS sector 55, Management of Companies andEnterprises.

The reports described below exclude establishments of firms with no paid employees. These“nonemployers,” typically self-employed individuals or partnerships operating businesses thatthey have not chosen to incorporate, are reported separately in the Nonemployer Statistics report.The contribution of nonemployers may be examined at www.census.gov/nonemployerimpact.

Definitions. Industry categories are defined in Appendix B, NAICS Codes, Titles, and Descrip-tions. Other terms are defined in Appendix A, Explanation of Terms.

REPORTS

The following reports provide statistics on this sector.

Industry Series. There are 19 reports, each covering a group of related industries. The reportspresent, by kind of business for the United States, general statistics for establishments of firmswith payroll on number of establishments, sales, payroll, and employment; comparative statisticsfor 2002 and 1997; product lines; and concentration of business activity in the largest firms. Thedata in industry reports are preliminary and subject to change in the following reports.

Geographic Area Series. There is a separate report for each state, the District of Columbia, andthe United States. Each state report presents, for establishments of firms with payroll, general sta-tistics on number of establishments, sales, payroll, employment, operating expenses, and inven-tory by kind of business for the state, metropolitan and micropolitan statistical areas, counties,and places with 2,500 inhabitants or more. Greater kind-of-business detail is shown for largerareas. The United States report presents data for the United States as a whole for detailed kind-of-business classifications.

Subject Series:

• Product Lines. This report presents sources of sales data for establishments of firms with pay-roll by kind of business. Data are presented for the United States and states.

• Establishment and Firm Size (Including Legal Form of Organization). This report pre-sents sales, payroll, and employment data for the United States by sales size, by employmentsize, and by legal form of organization for establishments of firms with payroll; and by salessize (including concentration by largest firms), by employment size, and by number of estab-lishments operated (single units and multiunits) for firms with payroll.

• Miscellaneous Subjects. This report presents data for a variety of industry-specific questionsfor establishments of firms with payroll. Presentation of data varies by kind of business.

Other reports. Data for this sector are also included in reports with multisector coverage,including Nonemployer Statistics, Comparative Statistics, Bridge Between 2002 NAICS and 1997NAICS, Business Expenses, and the Survey of Business Owners reports.

GEOGRAPHIC AREAS COVERED

The level of geographic detail varies by report. Maps are available atwww.census.gov/econ2002maps. Notes specific to areas in the state are included in Appendix D,Geographic Notes. Data may be presented for:

1. The United States as a whole.

2. States and the District of Columbia.

x Wholesale Trade 2002 Economic Census


3. Metropolitan and micropolitan statistical areas. A core based statistical area (CBSA) contains acore area with a substantial population nucleus, together with adjacent communities having ahigh degree of social and economic integration with that core. CBSAs are differentiated intometropolitan and micropolitan statistical areas based on size criteria. Both metropolitan andmicropolitan statistical areas are defined in terms of entire counties, and are listed in Appen-dix E, Metropolitan and Micropolitan Statistical Areas.

a. Metropolitan Statistical Areas (metro areas). Metro areas have at least one urbanized area of50,000 or more population, plus adjacent territory that has a high degree of social and eco-nomic integration with the core as measured by commuting ties.

b. Micropolitan Statistical Areas (micro areas). Micro areas have at least one urban cluster ofat least 10,000 but less than 50,000 population, plus adjacent territory that has a highdegree of social and economic integration with the core as measured by commuting ties.

c. Metropolitan Divisions (metro divisions). If specified criteria are met, a metro area contain-ing a single core with a population of 2.5 million or more may be subdivided to formsmaller groupings of counties referred to as Metropolitan Divisions.

d. Combined Statistical Areas (combined areas). If specified criteria are met, adjacent metroand micro areas, in various combinations, may become the components of a new set ofareas called Combined Statistical Areas. The areas that combine retain their own designa-tions as metro or micro areas within the larger combined area.

4. Counties and county equivalents defined as of January 1, 2002. Counties are the primary divi-sions of states, except in Louisiana where they are called parishes and in Alaska where theyare called boroughs, census areas, and city and boroughs. Maryland, Missouri, Nevada, andVirginia have one place or more that is independent of any county organization and consti-tutes primary divisions of their states. These places are treated as counties and as places.

5. Economic places.

a. Municipalities of 2,500 inhabitants or more defined as of January 1, 2002. These are areasof significant population incorporated as cities, boroughs, villages, or towns according tothe 2000 Census of Population. For the economic census, boroughs, census areas, and cityand boroughs in Alaska and boroughs in New York are not included in this category.

b. Consolidated cities defined as of January 1, 2002. Consolidated cities are consolidated gov-ernments that consist of separately incorporated municipalities.

c. 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 2000Census of Population).

d. Balance of county. Areas outside the entities listed above, including incorporated munici-palities with populations of fewer than 2,500, towns and townships not qualifying asnoted above, and the remainders of counties outside places are categorized as “Balance ofcounty.”

DOLLAR VALUES

All dollar values presented are expressed in current dollars; i.e., 2002 data are expressed in 2002dollars, and 1997 data, in 1997 dollars. Consequently, when making comparisons with prioryears, users of the data should consider the changes in prices that have occurred.

All dollar values are shown in thousands of dollars.

COMPARABILITY OF THE 1997 AND 2002 ECONOMIC CENSUSES

Both the 2002 Economic Census and the 1997 Economic Census present data based on the NorthAmerican Industry Classification System (NAICS). Under the 1997 NAICS, Wholesale Trade wascomprised of two subsectors: 421, Wholesale Trade, Durable Goods, and 422, Wholesale Trade,

Wholesale Trade xi2002 Economic Census


Nondurable Goods. In addition, the U.S. Census Bureau presented data in the Wholesale Trade sec-tor by three type-of-operation categories: 1) Merchant wholesalers, 2) Manufacturers’ salesbranches and offices, and 3) Agents, brokers, and commission merchants.

Under the 2002 NAICS, to recognize production differences in some types of operation, the Whole-sale Trade sector was reorganized into three subsectors: 423, Merchant Wholesalers, DurableGoods; 424, Merchant Wholesalers, Nondurable Goods; and 425, Wholesale Electronic Markets andAgents and Brokers. The 2002 NAICS industry definitions for Merchant Wholesalers in subsectors423 and 424 include type-of-operation categories for manufacturers’ sales branches and offices,as well as the 1997 Census Bureau-defined merchant wholesalers. Agents and brokers are definedas a separate NAICS industry in subsector 425 and are no longer included in the type-of-operationstructure. For 2002, data are presented by two type-of-operation categories: 1) Merchant whole-salers, except manufacturers’ sales branches and offices, and 2) Manufacturers’ sales branchesand offices. For more details, see Types of Operation in Appendix A.

RELIABILITY OF DATA

All data compiled for this sector are subject to nonsampling errors. Nonsampling errors can beattributed to many sources: inability to identify all cases in the actual universe; definition andclassification difficulties; differences in the interpretation of questions; errors in recording or cod-ing the data obtained; and other errors of collection, response, coverage, processing, and estima-tion for missing or misreported data. Data presented in the Miscellaneous Subjects and ProductLines reports for this sector are subject to sampling errors, as well as nonsampling errors.

The accuracy of these tabulated data is determined by the joint effects of the various nonsam-pling errors or by the joint effects of sampling and nonsampling errors. No direct measurement ofthese effects has been obtained except for estimation for missing or misreported data, as by thepercentages shown in the tables. Precautionary steps were taken in all phases of the collection,processing, and tabulation of the data in an effort to minimize the effects of nonsampling errors.More information on the reliability of the data is included in Appendix C, Methodology.

DISCLOSURE

In accordance with federal law governing census reports (Title 13 of the United States Code), nodata are published that would disclose the operations of an individual establishment or business.However, the number of establishments in a kind-of-business classification is not considered a dis-closure; therefore, this information may be released even though other information is withheld.Techniques employed to limit disclosure are discussed atwww.census.gov/epcd/ec02/disclosure.htm.

AVAILABILITY OF MORE FREQUENT ECONOMIC DATA

The County Business Patterns program offers annual statistics on the number of establishments,employment, and payroll classified by industry within each county, and Statistics of U.S. Busi-nesses provides annual statistics classified by the employment size of the enterprise, further clas-sified by industry for the United States, and by broader categories for states and metropolitanareas.

Each wholesale trade establishment was tabulated according to the physical location atwhich the business was conducted. The count of establishments represents those in business atany time during 2002.

When two activities or more were carried on at a single location under a single ownership, allactivities generally were grouped together as a single establishment. The entire establishmentwas classified on the basis of its major activity and all data for it were included in that classifica-tion. However, when distinct and separate economic activities (for which different industry classi-fication codes were appropriate) were conducted at a single location under a single ownership,separate establishment reports for each of the different activities were obtained in the census.

Appendix B.NAICS Codes, Titles, and Descriptions

42 WHOLESALE TRADE

The Wholesale Trade sector comprises establishments engaged in wholesaling merchandise, gen-erally without transformation, and rendering services incidental to the sale of merchandise.

The wholesaling process is an intermediate step in the distribution of merchandise. Wholesalersare organized to sell or arrange the purchase or sale of –

1. goods for resale (i.e., goods sold to other wholesalers or retailers),

2. capital or durable nonconsumer goods, or

3. raw and intermediate materials and supplies used in production.

Wholesalers sell merchandise to other businesses and normally operate from a warehouse oroffice. These warehouses and offices are characterized by having little or no display of merchan-dise. In addition, neither the design nor the location of the premises is intended to solicit walk-intraffic. Wholesalers do not normally use advertising directed to the general public. Customers aregenerally reached initially via telephone, in-person marketing, or by specialized advertising thatmay include Internet and other electronic means. Follow-up orders are either vendor-initiated orclient-initiated, generally based on previous sales, and typically exhibit strong ties between sellersand buyers. In fact, transactions are often conducted between wholesalers and clients that havelong-standing business relationships.

This sector comprises two main types of wholesalers: those that sell goods on their own accountand those that arrange sales and purchases for others generally for a commission or fee.

1. Establishments that sell goods on their own account are known as wholesale merchants, dis-tributors, jobbers, drop shippers, and import/export merchants. Also included as wholesalemerchants are sales offices and sales branches (but not retail stores) maintained by manufac-turing, refining, or mining enterprises apart from their plants or mines for the purpose of mar-keting their products. Merchant wholesale establishments typically maintain their own ware-house, where they receive and handle goods for their customers. Goods are generally soldwithout transformation, but may include integral functions, such as sorting, packaging, label-ing, and other marketing services.

2. Establishments arranging for the purchase or sale of goods owned by others or purchasinggoods, generally on a commission basis, are known as business-to-business electronic mar-kets, agents and brokers, commission merchants, import/export agents and brokers, auctioncompanies, and manufacturers’ representatives. These establishments operate from officesand generally do not own or handle the goods they sell.

Some wholesale establishments may be connected with a single manufacturer and promote andsell the particular manufacturers’ products to a wide range of other wholesalers or retailers. Otherwholesalers may be connected to a retail chain or a limited number of retail chains and only pro-vide a variety of products needed by the retail operation(s). These wholesalers may obtain theproducts from a wide range of manufacturers. Still other wholesalers may not take title to thegoods, but act as agents and brokers for a commission.

Although wholesaling normally denotes sales in large volumes, durable nonconsumer goods maybe sold in single units. Sales of capital or durable nonconsumer goods used in the production ofgoods and services, such as farm machinery, medium and heavy duty trucks, and industrialmachinery, are always included in wholesale trade.

Appendix C.Methodology

SOURCES OF THE DATA

For this sector, essentially all firms were sent report forms to be completed for each of their estab-lishments and returned to the Census Bureau. For some very small firms, data from existingadministrative records of other federal agencies were used instead. These records provide basicinformation on location, kind of business, sales, payroll, number of employees, and legal form oforganization.

Firms in the 2002 Economic Census are divided into those sent report forms and those not sentreport forms. The coverage of and the method of obtaining census information from each aredescribed below:

1. Establishments sent a report form:

a. Large employers, i.e., all multiestablishment firms, and all employer firms with payrollabove a specified cutoff. (The term ’’employers’’ refers to firms with one or more paidemployees at any time during 2002 as shown in the active administrative records of otherfederal agencies.)

b. A sample of small employers, i.e., single-establishment firms with payroll below a specifiedcutoff in classifications for which specialized data precludes reliance solely on administra-tive records sources. The sample was stratified by industry and geography.

2. Establishments not sent a report form:

a. Small employers, i.e., single-establishment firms with payroll below a specified cutoff, notselected into the small employer sample. Although the payroll cutoff varies by kind of busi-ness, small employers not sent a report form generally include firms with less than 10employees and represent about 10 percent of total sales of establishments covered in thecensus. Data on sales, payroll, and employment for these small employers were derived orestimated from administrative records of other federal agencies.

b. All nonemployers, i.e., all firms subject to federal income tax with no paid employees dur-ing 2002. Sales or receipts information for these firms was obtained from administrativerecords of other federal agencies. Although consisting of many firms, nonemployersaccount for less than 10 percent of total sales or receipts of all establishments covered inthe census. Data for nonemployers are not included in this report, but are released in theannual Nonemployer Statistics series.

The report forms used to collect information for establishments in this sector are available athelp.econ.census.gov/econhelp/resources/.

A more detailed examination of census methodology is presented in the History of the EconomicCensus at www.census.gov/econ/www/history.html.

INDUSTRY CLASSIFICATION OF ESTABLISHMENTS

The classifications for all establishments are based on the North American Industry ClassificationSystem, United States, 2002 manual. Changes between 1997 and 2002 affecting this sector arediscussed in the text at the beginning of this report. Tables at www.census.gov/epcd/naics02/identify those industries that changed between the 1997 North American Industry ClassificationSystem (NAICS) and 2002 NAICS.

Appendix C C–1Wholesale Trade


The method of assigning classifications and the level of detail at which establishments were clas-sified depends on whether a report form was obtained for the establishment.

1. Establishments that returned a report form were classified on the basis of their self-designation, sales of product lines, and responses to other industry-specific inquiries.

2. Establishments without a report form:

a. Small employers not sent a form were, where possible, classified on the basis of the mostcurrent kind-of-business classification available from one of the Census Bureau’s currentsample surveys or the 1997 Economic Census. Otherwise, the classification was obtainedfrom administrative records of other federal agencies. If the census or administrativerecord classifications proved inadequate (none corresponded to a 2002 Economic Censusclassification in the detail required for employers), the firm was sent a brief inquiryrequesting information necessary to assign a kind-of-business code.

b. Nonemployers were classified on the basis of information obtained from administrativerecords of other federal agencies.

RELIABILITY OF DATA

All data compiled in the economic census are subject to nonsampling errors. Nonsampling errorscan be attributed to many sources during the development or execution of the census:

• inability to identify all cases in the actual universe;

• definition and classification difficulties;

• differences in the interpretation of questions;

• errors in recording or coding the data obtained; and

• other errors of collection, response, coverage, processing, and estimation for missing or misre-ported data.

Data presented in the Miscellaneous Subjects and the Product Lines reports for this sector are sub-ject to sampling errors, as well as nonsampling errors. Specifically, these data are estimated basedon information obtained from census report forms mailed to all large employers and to a sampleof small employers in the universe. Sampling errors affect these estimates, insofar, as they maydiffer from results that would be obtained from a complete enumeration.

The accuracy of these tabulated data is determined by the joint effects of the various nonsam-pling errors or by the joint effects of sampling and nonsampling errors. No direct measurement ofthese effects has been obtained except for estimation for missing or misreported data; however,precautionary steps were taken in all phases of the collection, processing, and tabulation of thedata in an effort to minimize the effects of nonsampling errors.

The Census Bureau obtains limited information extracted from administrative records of other fed-eral agencies, such as gross receipts from federal income tax records and employment and payrollfrom payroll tax records. This information is used in conjunction with other information availableto the Census Bureau to develop estimates for nonemployers, small employers, and other estab-lishments for which responses were not received in time for publication.

Key tables in this report include a column for “Percent of sales from administrative records.” Thisincludes sales information obtained from administrative records of other federal agencies. The“Percent of sales estimated” includes sales information that was imputed based on historic com-pany ratios or administrative records, or on industry averages.

The Census Bureau recommends that data users incorporate this information into their analyses,as nonsampling error and sampling error could impact the conclusions drawn from economic cen-sus data.

TREATMENT OF NONRESPONSE

Census report forms included two different types of inquiries, “basic” and “industry-specific.” Datafor the basic inquiries, which include location, kind of business or operation, sales, payroll, andnumber of employees, were available from a combination of sources for all establishments. Datafor industry-specific inquiries, tailored to the particular kinds of business or operation covered bythe report, were available only from those establishments sent a report form that completed theappropriate inquiries.

Data for industry-specific inquiries in this sector were expanded in most cases to account forestablishments that did not respond to the particular inquiry for which data are presented. Unlessotherwise noted in specific reports, data for industry-specific inquiries were expanded in directrelationship to total sales of all establishments included in the category. In a few cases, expansionon the basis of the sales item was not appropriate, and another basic data item was used as thebasis for expansion of reported data to account for nonrespondents.

All reports in which industry-specific data were expanded include a coverage indicator for eachpublication category, which shows the sales of establishments responding to the industry-specificinquiry as a percent of total sales for all establishments for which data are shown. For someinquiries, coverage is determined by the ratio of total payroll or employment of establishmentsresponding to the inquiry to total payroll or employment of all establishments in the category.

CONCENTRATION CATEGORIES

Concentration categories are based on aggregate sales of all establishments operated by the samefirm in a given kind-of-business classification or group for which data are presented. For example,a firm operating three wholesale establishments – a hardware merchant wholesaler (NAICS42371), a plumbing equipment merchant wholesaler (NAICS 42372), and an electrical appliancemerchant wholesaler (NAICS 42362) – would be treated as three one-establishment firms at themost detailed NAICS level, as a two-establishment firm in NAICS 4237 and a one-establishmentfirm in NAICS 4236, and as a single three-establishment firm in wholesale trade totals.

DISCLOSURE

In accordance with federal law governing census reports (Title 13 of the United States Code), nodata are published that would disclose the operations of an individual establishment or business.However, the number of establishments in a kind-of-business classification is not considered a dis-closure; therefore, this information may be released even though other information is withheld.Techniques employed to limit disclosure are discussed atwww.census.gov/epcd/ec02/disclosure.htm.
