U.S. Census Bureau, 1997 Economic Census Jan. 27, 2000
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 governments 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 (NAICS), unlike earlier censuses, which

were published according to the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) system. NAICS is in the process of being

adopted in the United States, Canada, and Mexico. Most

economic census reports cover one of the following NAICS

sectors:

21 Mining

22 Utilities

23 Construction

31-33 Manufacturing

42 Wholesale Trade

44-45 Retail Trade

48-49 Transportation and Warehousing

51 Information

52 Finance and Insurance

53 Real Estate and Rental and Leasing

54 Professional, Scientific, and Technical

Services

55 Management of Companies and Enterprises

56 Administrative 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 (NAICS 11), partially covered by the census

of agriculture conducted by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, and the Public Administration sector (NAICS 92),

covered by the census of governments conducted by the

Census Bureau.)

The 20 NAICS sectors are subdivided into 96 subsectors

(three-digit codes), 313 industry groups (four-digit codes),

and, as implemented in the United States, 1170 industries

(five- and six-digit codes).

RELATIONSHIP TO SIC

While many of the individual NAICS 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 NAICS and SIC, but cover somewhat different groups of industries. The industry definitions discuss the relationships between NAICS 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 establishments (those functioning primarily to manage, service, or support the activities of their company’s operating establishments, such as

a central administrative 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 including cities, towns, villages, and boroughs. Respondents were

1997 ECONOMIC CENSUS 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 establishments 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, including 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 (including name,

address, kind of business, or other data for individual

business establishments 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

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 periods, concepts, definitions, classifications, and reporting units. It

was the first census to be taken by mail, using lists of

firms provided by the administrative records of other Federal agencies. Since 1963, administrative 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 governments 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 including nearly all data published in print, plus additional statistics, such as ZIP Code

statistics, published only on CD-ROM.

Construction

SCOPE

Construction, sector 23, includes establishments primarily engaged in construction work that have one or more

paid employees. Construction work includes new construction work, additions, alterations, and repairs. Establishments identified as construction management firms are

also included. The construction sector is divided into three

types of activity or subsectors.

The Building, Developing, and General Contracting subsector includes establishments responsible for the construction of building projects. Builders, developers, and

general contractors, as well as land subdividers and land

developers are included in the subsector. The construction

work may be done for others and performed by custom

builders, general contractors, design builders, or turnkey

contractors. This construction activity may be for sale as

performed by speculative or operative builders.

The Heavy Construction subsector includes establishments engaged in the construction of heavy engineering

and industrial projects (except buildings) such as highways, power plants, and pipelines. Establishments in this

subsector usually assume responsibility for entire nonbuilding projects, but may subcontract some or all of the

actual construction work. Special trade contractors are

included in this group if they are engaged in activities primarily related to heavy construction such as grading for

highways. Kinds of establishments include heavy construction general contractors, and design builders.

The Special Trade Contractors subsector includes establishments engaged in specialized construction activities

such as plumbing, painting, and electrical work. The

activities in this subsector may be subcontracted from

builders or general contractors, or the work may be performed directly for project owners. Special trade contractors usually perform most of their work at the job site,

although they may have shops where they perform prefabrication and other work.

GENERAL

A list of publications that provide statistics on construction, sector 23, follows.

Industry reports. There are 28 separate industry

reports. They present data for a six-digit North American

Industry Classification System (NAICS) industry. A description of the particular NAICS industry may be found in

Appendix B. These reports include statistics such as number of establishments, employment, payroll, value added,

cost of materials, value of business done, and capital

expenditures. Explanations of these and other terms may

be found in Appendix A. The industry reports also include

selected statistics for states.

Geographic area reports. There is a separate report for

each state, the District of Columbia, and the United States.

They present statistics similar to the industry reports for

each state. They also present selected six-digit NAICS level

data.

Subject reports. The Industry series, U.S. Summary, and

Geographic Area series, U.S. Summary, reports present

selected statistics from the individual industry and geographic area reports, as well as higher level aggregations.

GEOGRAPHIC AREAS COVERED

The area reports for the construction industries contain

state and regional level data. No substate data are available.

While most of the state data in the industry series

reports are by physical location of the establishment,

some data are available by reported location of the construction work.

The regions are made up of groups of states as follows:

COMPARABILITY OF THE 1992 AND 1997 CENSUSES

The adoption of the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) had a major impact on the comparability of data between the 1992 and 1997 censuses. Less

than half of the industries in the construction sector of

NAICS have comparable industries in the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) system that was used for past censuses. Because of the lack of comparable data, historic

data are not shown for this sector.

Lead paint removal and asbestos abatement left the

construction sector with the introduction of NAICS. Many

changes took place within the sector, or from business

activity coming into the sector. Much of the change came

from adding management services to each of the construction industries in the building, developing, and general contracting subsector and the heavy construction subsector. Also, land subdividers and developers, and rental

of construction equipment with an operator were added to

the sector.

Another change is that data for establishments with no

employees are no longer included in the construction

reports, but are available in other report series.

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 company. However, the number of

establishments classified in a specific industry or geography is not considered a disclosure, and may be released

even when other information is withheld. Suppressed data

are included in higher-level totals.

AVAILABILITY OF MORE FREQUENT ECONOMIC

DATA

The County Business Patterns program of the U.S. Census Bureau offers annual statistics on the number of establishments, employment, and payroll classified by industry

within each county and state.

The U.S. Census Bureau’s monthly Construction

Reports, Series C30, Value of New Construction Put in

Place contain data related to construction sector census

data. The main difference is that the C30 series covers all

new construction put in place without regard to who is

performing the construction activity. The construction sector census data covers both new construction and maintenance and repair work done by establishments classified

in the construction industries. Significant amounts of construction are done by establishments classified outside of

construction (real estate, manufacturing, utilities, and

communications, for example), as both ‘‘force account’’

construction and construction done for others. In addition,

the C30 series includes construction-related expenses

such as architectural and engineering costs and the costs

of materials supplied by owners which are normally not

reflected in construction sector census data.

Data contained in the 1997 construction sector may

also differ from industry data in Employment and Earnings

Statistics, published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics and

Statistics of Income, published by the Internal Revenue

Service. These differences arise from varying definitions of

scope, coverage, timing, classification, and methodology.

TYPE OF COMPANY OWNERSHIP AND LEGAL FORM

OF ORGANIZATION

On the report forms, each establishment of companies

with payroll covered in the 1997 Economic Census was

classified into one of seven specific legal forms of organization. Publication categories derived from this data are

also shown below:

• Individual proprietorship. Companies owned by

one person.

CONSTRUCTION APPENDIX A A–5

U.S. Census Bureau, 1997 Economic Census
• Partnership. Companies owned by two persons or

more, each of whom had a financial interest in the

business.

that were legally incorporated under state laws.

• Other noncorporate legal form. Companies for

which the legal form of organization was not one of

those defined above (i.e., cooperative associations (taxable), cooperative associations (tax-exempt),

government-owned and private company-operated,

other).

Companies operating at a single location are classified

as single-establishment companies. Companies operating

at more than one location are classified as multiestablishment companies. Categories in this item for which data

are shown are derived from these definitions.

TYPE OF CONSTRUCTION

Provides data by the types of buildings, structures, or

other facilities being constructed or worked on by construction establishments in the reporting year. Respondents were instructed that each building, structure, or

other facility should be classified in terms of its function.

the restaurant category whether it was designed as a commercial restaurant building or an auxiliary unit of an educational institution. If respondents worked on more than

one type of building or structure in a multibuilding complex, they were instructed to report separately for each

building or type of structure. If they worked on a building

that had more than one purpose; i.e., office and residential, or commercial, they were to classify the building by

major purpose. In addition, all respondents were

requested to report the percentage of the value of construction work done for new construction, additions, alterations, or reconstruction, and maintenance and repair

work for each of these types.

NAICS Codes, Titles, and Descriptions

23 CONSTRUCTION

The Construction sector comprises establishments

primarily engaged in the construction of buildings and

other structures, heavy construction (except buildings),

additions, alterations, reconstruction, installation, and

maintenance and repairs. Establishments engaged in

demolition or wrecking of buildings and other structures,

clearing of building sites, and sale of materials from

demolished structures are also included. This sector also

includes those establishments engaged in blasting, test

drilling, landfill, leveling, earthmoving, excavating, land

drainage, and other land preparation. The industries

within this sector have been defined on the basis of their

unique production processes. As with all industries, the

production processes are distinguished by their use of

specialized human resources and specialized physical

capital. Construction activities are generally administered

or managed at a relatively fixed place of business, but the

actual construction work is performed at one or more

different project sites.

This sector is divided into three subsectors of construction activities: (1) building construction and land subdivision and land development; (2) heavy construction (except

buildings), such as highways, power plants, and pipelines;

and (3) construction activity by special trade contractors.

Establishments classified in Subsector 233, Building,

Developing, and General Contracting and Subsector 234,

Heavy Construction, usually assume responsibility for an

entire construction project, and may subcontract some or

all of the actual construction work. Operative builders who

build on their own account for sale, and land subdividers

and land developers, who engage in subdividing real property into lots for sale, are included in Subsector 233, Building, Developing, and General Contracting. (Special trade

contractors are included in Subsector 234, Heavy Construction, if they are engaged in activities primarily relating to heavy construction, such as grading for highways.)

Establishments included in these subsectors operate as

general contractors, design-builders, engineerconstructors, joint-venture contractors, and turnkey

construction contractors. Establishments identified as

construction management firms are also included.

Establishments classified in Subsector 235, Special

Trade Contractors, are primarily engaged in specialized

construction activities, such as plumbing, painting, and

electrical work, and work for builders and general contractors under subcontract or directly for project owners.

Establishments engaged in demolition or wrecking of

buildings and other structures, dismantling of machinery,

excavating, shoring and underpinning, anchored earth

retention activities, foundation drilling, and grading for

buildings are also included in this subsector.

‘‘Force account’’ construction is construction work performed by an establishment primarily engaged in some

business other than construction, for its own account and

use, and by employees of the establishment. This activity

is not included in this industry sector unless the construction work performed is the primary activity of a separate

establishment of the enterprise.

The installation of prefabricated building equipment

and materials, such as elevators and revolving doors, is

classified in the Construction sector. Installation work incidental to sales by employees of a manufacturing or retail

establishment is classified as an activity of those establishments.

233 Building, Developing, and General Contracting

Coverage and Methodology

THE SAMPLE FRAME

The universe for the construction sector includes

approximately 650,000 establishments. This includes only

those construction establishments with at least one paid

employee in 1997. Census reports were mailed to a

sample of approximately 130,000 establishments.

The sample frame consisted of the entire construction

universe; there were no subpopulations that were explicitly removed from the sample frame. The sample frame

was compiled from a list of all construction companies in

the active records of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and

the Social Security Administration (SSA) which are subject

to the payment of Federal Insurance Contributions Act

taxes. Under special arrangements to safeguard their confidentiality, the U.S. Census Bureau obtains information on

the location and classification of the companies, as well as

their payroll and receipts data from these sources. Unfortunately, these sources do not provide establishment level

information for companies with multiple locations. For

multilocation companies, the establishment level information is directly obtained from the U.S. Census Bureau’s

Company Organization Survey.

While the IRS-SSA list usually provided sufficient classification information to assign a company to the proper economic sector, there were cases for which the information

was incomplete or missing. A classification form was

mailed to companies with insufficient information to be

assigned to an industry. This form requested information

on the nature of the company’s activities. Companies

determined to be in scope of the construction sector subsequent to the census mailout were treated as a supplement to the universe rather than part of the sample frame.

SAMPLE SELECTION

The major objective of the sample design was to provide a sample that would provide reliable estimates for

each state and construction industry. A stratified random

sample was designed. Within each state by industry cell,

six strata were defined.

• Stratum 1 was comprised of approximately 12,000

establishments of companies that had operations of any

type at more than one location. These establishments of

multiunit companies were included in the construction

sample with certainty.

• Strata 2-6 were comprised of single-location companies.

For each industry, payroll cut-offs were determined at

the U.S. level and used to define the payroll ranges for

each of the strata 2-6 across all states.

All establishments in stratum 2 were included in the

construction sample with certainty. These consisted of

the largest single-location construction companies.

For strata 3-6, a random sample of establishments

was selected. The general strategy was to sample the

strata containing larger establishments at a higher rate

than those containing small establishments. The minimum sample rate was 1 in 20.

For five industries, the U.S. population in the sample

frame was quite small. For these industries, all establishments in the sample frame were included in the sample

with certainty. These industries were as follows:

• SIC 1622, Bridge, Tunnel, and Elevated Highway

Construction Contractors

• SIC 1795, Wrecking and Demolition Work

• SIC 1796, Installation or Erection of Building Equipment,

Not Elsewhere Classified

• SIC 7353, Equipment Rental With Operators

• SIC 8741, Construction Management

ESTIMATION AND VARIANCES

Based on the response data, establishments were

assigned to the appropriate NAICS industry. At each level

of tabulation, unbiased estimates were derived by summing the weighted establishment data where the establishment sample weight was equal to the inverse of its

probability of selection for the construction sample.

Variances of the estimated items were derived at the

state level, industry, and by stratum using standard stratified random sample formulas. Variances were then aggregated to the publication levels for the computation of the

relative standard errors.

RELIABILITY OF THE ESTIMATES

The estimates developed from the sample can differ

somewhat from the results of a survey covering all companies in the sample lists but are otherwise conducted under

essentially the same conditions as the actual sample survey. The estimates of the magnitude of the sampling

errors (the difference between the estimates obtained and

the results theoretically obtained from a comparable,

complete-coverage survey) are provided by the standard

errors of estimates.

CONSTRUCTION APPENDIX C C–1

U.S. Census Bureau, 1997 Economic Census
The particular sample selected for the construction sector is one of many similar probability samples that, by

chance, might have been selected under the same specifications. Each of the possible samples would yield somewhat different sets of results, and the standard errors are

measures of the variation of all the possible sample estimates around the theoretically, comparable, completecoverage values.

Estimates of the standard errors have been computed

from the sample data. They are presented in the form of

relative standard errors which are the standard errors

divided by the estimated values to which they refer.

In conjunction with its associated estimate, the relative

standard error may be used to define confidence intervals,

or ranges, that would include the comparable, completecoverage value for specified percentages of all the possible samples.

The complete-coverage value would be included in the

range:

• From one standard error below to one standard error

above the derived estimate for about two-thirds of all

possible samples.

• From two standard errors below to two standard errors

above the derived estimate for about 19 out of 20 of all

possible samples.

• From three standard errors below to three standard

errors above the derived estimate for nearly all samples.

An inference is that the comparable complete-survey

result would fall within the indicated ranges and the relative frequencies shown. Those proportions, therefore, may

be interpreted as defining the confidence that the estimates from a particular sample would differ from

complete-coverage results by as much as one, two, or

three standard errors, respectively.

For example, suppose an estimated total is shown at

50,000 with an associated relative standard error of 2 percent, that is, a standard error of 1,000 (2 percent of

50,000). There is approximately 67 percent confidence

that the interval 49,000 to 51,000 includes the completecoverage total, about 95 percent confidence that the interval 48,000 to 52,000 includes the complete-coverage

total, and almost certain confidence that the interval

47,000 to 53,000 includes the complete-coverage total.

In addition to the sample errors, the estimates are subject to various response and operational errors: errors of

collection; reporting; coding; transcription; imputation for

nonresponse, etc. These operational errors also would

occur if a complete canvass were to be conducted under

the same conditions as the survey. Explicit measures of

their effects generally are not available. However, it is

believed that most of the important operational errors

were detected and corrected during the U.S. Census

Bureau’s review of the data for reasonableness and consistency. The small operational errors usually remain. To

some extent, they are compensating in the aggregated

totals shown. When important operational errors were

detected too late to correct the estimates, the data were

suppressed or were specifically qualified in the tables.

As derived, the estimated standard errors included part

of the effect of the operational errors. The total errors,

which depend upon the joint effect of the sampling and

operational errors, are usually of the order of size indicated by the standard error, or moderately higher. However, for particular estimates, the total error may considerably exceed the standard errors shown. Any figures shown

in the tables of this publication having an associated standard error exceeding 75 percent may be combined with

higher level totals, creating a broader aggregate, which

then may be of acceptable reliability.

INDUSTRY CLASSIFICATION OF ESTABLISHMENTS

Each establishment covered in the construction sector

was classified in one of twenty eight industries in accordance with the industry definitions in the 1997 NAICS

(North American Industry Classification System) manual.

The U.S. Census Bureau first used NAICS to classify industries for 1997 economic census data. Prior to this the U.S.

Census Bureau used SIC (Standard Industrial Classification)

for industry classification. The differences between NAICS

and SIC are outlined in Appendix A of the 1997 NAICS

manual.

In the NAICS system, an industry is generally defined as

a group of establishments that use similar processes or

have similar business activities. To the extent practical,

the system uses supply-based or production-oriented concepts in defining industries. The resulting group of establishments must be significant in terms of number, value

added, value of business, and number of employees.

The coding system works in such a way that the definitions progressively become narrower with successive

additions of numerical digits. In the construction sector

for 1997, there are 3subsectors (three-digit NAICS), 14

industry groups (four-digit NAICS), and 28 NAICS industries (five- and six-digit NAICS). The five-digit NAICS is

supposed to be the level at which there is comparability

with the Canadian and Mexican classification systems.

However, agreement had not been reached with these

countries at the time of the 1997 Economic Census regarding the classification of construction industries. The 28

five- and six-digit NAICS construction industries are the

result of an expansion and a restructuring of the 26 fourdigit SIC industries of 1987.

ESTABLISHMENT BASIS OF REPORTING

The construction sector is conducted on an establishment basis. A construction establishment is defined as a

relatively permanent office or other place of business

where the usual business activities related to construction

C–2 APPENDIX C CONSTRUCTION

U.S. Census Bureau, 1997 Economic Census
are conducted. With some exceptions, a relatively permanent office is one which has been established for the management of more than one project or job and which is

expected to be maintained on a continuing basis. Such

establishment activities include, but are not limited to,

estimating, bidding, purchasing, supervising, and operation of the actual construction work being conducted at

one or more construction sites. Separate construction

reports were not required for each project or construction

site.

Companies with more than one construction establishment were required to submit a separate report for each

establishment operated during any part of the census

year. The construction sector figures represent a tabulation of records for individual establishments rather than

for companies.

If an establishment was engaged in construction and

one or more distinctly different lines of economic activity

at the same place of business, it was requested to file a

separate report for each activity, provided that the activity

was of substantial size and separate records were maintained. If a separate establishment report could not be

prepared for each activity, then a construction report was

requested covering all activities of that establishment providing that the value of construction work exceeded the

gross receipts from each of its other activities.

DUPLICATION IN VALUE OF CONSTRUCTION WORK

The aggregate of value of construction work reported

by all construction establishments in each of the industry,

geographic area, or other groupings contains varying

amounts of duplication. This is because the construction

work of one firm may be subcontracted to other construction firms and may also be included in the subcontractors’

value of construction work. Also, part of the value of construction results from the use of products of nonconstruction industries as input materials. These products are

counted in the nonconstruction industry as well as part of

the value of construction. Value added avoids this duplication and is, for most purposes, the best measure for comparing the relative economic importance of industries or

geographic areas. Value added for construction industries

is defined as the dollar value of business done less costs

for construction work subcontracted to others and payments for materials, components, supplies, and fuels.
