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

to 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.

INDUSTRY CLASSIFICATIONS

Data from the 2002 Economic Census are published primarily according to the 2002 North American 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 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 Food Services

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), largely covered by the census of governments conducted

by 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).

2002 Economic Census Introduction v

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 Classification (SIC) system. 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

1997 Economic Census Bridge Between NAICS and SIC demonstrates the relationships between

NAICS and SIC industries. Where changes are significant, it may not be possible to construct time

series that include data for points both before and after 1997.

Most industry classifications remained unchanged between 1997 and 2002, but NAICS 2002

includes substantial revisions within the construction and wholesale trade sectors, and a number

of revisions for the retail trade and information sectors. These changes are noted in industry definitions 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 the

activities of their company’s operating establishments, such as a warehouse or a research and

development laboratory) are included in the industry that reflects their activities (such as warehousing). For 1997, such establishments were termed auxiliaries and were excluded from industry

totals.

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. (For selected industries, only payroll, employment, and classification are collected for individual establishments, while other data are collected on a consolidated

basis.)

GEOGRAPHIC AREA CODING

Accurate and complete information on the physical location of each establishment is required to

tabulate the census data for states, metropolitan and micropolitan statistical areas, counties, and

corporate 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 (and

those single-establishment companies that did not provide acceptable information on physical

location), 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. The

American FactFinder system at the Internet site allows selective retrieval and downloading of the

data. 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 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

vi Introduction 2002 Economic Census

U.S. Census Bureau, 2002 Economic Census
from the regular decennial population census. Censuses covering retail and wholesale trade and

construction industries were added in 1930, as were some service trades in 1933. Censuses of

construction, manufacturing, and the other business 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 and 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 report forms.

The range of industries covered in the economic census expanded between 1967 and 2002. 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. New for 2002 is coverage of four industries classified in the agriculture,

forestry, and fishing sector under the SIC system: landscape architectural services, landscaping

services, veterinary services, and pet care services.

Printed statistical reports from the 1992 and earlier censuses provide historical figures for the

study of long-term time series and are available in some large libraries. Reports for 1997 were

published primarily on the Internet and copies of 1992 reports are also available there. CD-ROMs

issued from the 1987, 1992, and 1997 Economic Censuses contain databases that include all or

nearly all data published in print, plus additional statistics, such as ZIP Code statistics, published

only on CD-ROM.

U.S. Census Bureau, 2002 Economic Census
Construction

SCOPE

The Construction sector (sector 23) comprises establishments primarily engaged in the construction of buildings or engineering projects (e.g., highways and utility systems). Establishments primarily engaged in the preparation of sites for new construction and establishments primarily

engaged in subdividing land for sale, as building sites also are included in this sector.

Construction work done may include new work, additions, alterations, or maintenance and

repairs. Activities of these establishments generally are managed at a fixed place of business, but

they usually perform construction activities at multiple project sites. Production responsibilities

for establishments in this sector are usually specified in (1) contracts with the owners of construction projects (prime contracts) or (2) contracts with other construction establishments (subcontracts).

Establishments primarily engaged in contracts that include responsibility for all aspects of individual construction projects are commonly known as general contractors, but also may be known

as design-builders, construction managers, turnkey contractors, or (in cases where two or more

establishments jointly secure a general contract) joint-venture contractors. Construction managers

that provide oversight and scheduling only (i.e., agency) as well as construction managers that are

responsible for the entire project (i.e., at risk) are included as general contractor type establishments. Establishments of the “general contractor type” frequently arrange construction of separate

parts of their projects through subcontracts with other construction establishments.

Establishments primarily engaged in activities to produce a specific component (e.g., masonry,

painting, and electrical work) of a construction project are commonly known as specialty trade

contractors. Activities of specialty trade contractors are usually subcontracted from other construction establishments but, especially in remodeling and repair construction, the work may be

done directly for the owner of the property.

Establishments primarily engaged in activities to construct buildings to be sold on sites that they

own are known as operative builders, but also may be known as speculative builders or merchant

builders. Operative builders produce buildings in a manner similar to general contractors, but

their production processes also include site acquisition and securing of financial backing. Operative builders are most often associated with the construction of residential buildings. Like general

contractors, they may subcontract all or part of the actual construction work on their buildings.

There are substantial differences in the types of equipment, work force skills, and other inputs

required by establishments in this sector. To highlight these differences and variations in the

underlying production functions, this sector is divided into three subsectors.

Subsector 236, Construction of Buildings, comprises establishments of the general contractor

type and operative builders involved in the construction of buildings. Subsector 237, Heavy and

Civil Engineering Construction, comprises establishments involved in the construction of engineering projects. Subsector 238, Specialty Trade Contractors, comprises establishments engaged

in specialty trade activities generally needed in the construction of all types of buildings.

Exclusions. Force account construction is construction work performed by an enterprise primarily engaged in some business other than construction for its own account and use, using employees of the enterprise. This activity is not included in the construction sector unless the construction work performed is the primary activity of a separate establishment of the enterprise. The

installation and the ongoing repair and maintenance of telecommunications and utility networks

is excluded from construction when the establishments performing the work are not independent

2002 Economic Census Construction ix

U.S. Census Bureau, 2002 Economic Census
contractors. Although a growing proportion of this work is subcontracted to independent contractors in the Construction Sector, the operating units of telecommunications and utility companies

performing this work are included with the telecommunications or utility activities.

The tabulations for this sector do not include central administrative offices, warehouses, or other

establishments that serve construction establishments within the same organization. Data for

such establishments are classified according to the nature of the service they provide. For

example, separate headquarters establishments are reported in NAICS Sector 55, Management of

Companies and Enterprises.

The reports described below exclude establishments of firms with no paid employees. These

“nonemployers,” typically self-employed individuals or partnerships operating businesses that

they have not chosen to incorporate, are reported separately in Nonemployer Statistics. The contribution of nonemployers, relatively large for this sector, may be examined at

www.census.gov/nonemployerimpact.

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

REPORTS

The following reports provide statistics on this sector.

Industry Series. There are 31 reports, each covering a single NAICS industry (six-digit code).

These reports include such statistics as number of establishments, employment, payroll, value

added by construction, cost of materials, value of construction work, value of business done,

capital expenditures, etc. The industry reports also include selected statistics for states. 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 data in industry

reports are preliminary and subject to change in the following reports.

Geographic Area Series. There are 51 separate reports, one for each state and the District of

Columbia. Each state report present similar statistics at the “all construction” level for each state.

Subject Series:

• Industry General Summary. This report contains industry statistics summarized in one

report. It includes higher levels of aggregation than the industry reports, as well as revisions to

the data made after the release of the industry reports.

• Industry Kind Of Business and Type of Construction Summary. This report contains

industry kind of business and types of construction statistics summarized in one report. It

includes higher levels of aggregation than the industry reports, as well as revisions to the data

made after the release of the industry reports.

• Geographic Area Summary. This report contains industry and geographic area statistics summarized in one report. It includes higher levels of aggregation than the industry and state

reports, as well as revisions to the data made after the release of the industry and state reports.

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

Business Expenses, and the Survey of Business Owners reports.

DOLLAR VALUES

All dollar values presented are expressed in current dollars; i.e., 2002 data are expressed in 2002

dollars, and 1997 data, in 1997 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.

COMPARABILITY OF THE 1997 AND 2002 ECONOMIC CENSUSES

Both the 2002 Economic Census and the 1997 Economic Census present data based on the North

American Industry Classification System (NAICS). There were substantial revisions made to the

entire construction sector, for 2002. These changes are:

1. Each subsector has been reclassified in 2002 to:

• 236—Construction of Buildings

• 237—Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction

• 238—Specialty Trade Contractors

2. Adopted several mining industries:

a. oil and gas pipeline and related structures construction, now in Industry 237120

b. site preparation and related construction activities on a contract or fee basis, now in Industry 238910.

More detailed information of NAICS changes from 1997 to 2002 may be examined at

http://www.census.gov/epcd/naics02/n02ton97.htm.

In addition, there has been an additional data table added, which did not exist in 1997. Included

for 2002 is housing starts by single NAICS industry (six-digit code).

RELIABILITY OF DATA

All data compiled for this sector are subject to nonsampling errors. Nonsampling errors can be

attributed to many sources: 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 misreported data.

No direct measurement of these effects has been obtained except for estimation for missing or

misreported data, as by the percentages 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), no

data are published that would disclose the operations of an individual establishment or company.

However, the number of establishments in a specific industry or geographic area is not considered

a disclosure; therefore, this information may be released even though other information is withheld. Techniques employed to limit disclosure are discussed at

www.census.gov/epcd/ec02/disclosure.htm.

2002 Economic Census Construction xi

U.S. Census Bureau, 2002 Economic Census
AVAILABILITY OF MORE FREQUENT ECONOMIC DATA

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 constructionrelated expenses such as architectural and engineering costs and the costs of materials supplied

by owners that are normally not reflected in construction sector census data.

Data contained in the 2002 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.

In additon, 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. Businesses provides annual statistics classified by the employment size of the enterprise, further classified by industry for the United States, and by broader categories for states and metropolitan areas.

1–10 to 19 percent; 2–20 to 29 percent; 3–30 to 39 percent; 4–40 to 49 percent; 5–50 to 59 percent; 6–60 to 69 percent; 7–70 to 79 percent; 8–80 to 89 percent; 9–90 percent or more. 2For the 2002 Economic Census, the definitions of value of business done and value of construction work have been modified from the 1997 Economic Census definitions. See Appendix A for the

modified definitions.

Note: The data in this table are based on the 2002 Economic Census. To maintain confidentiality, the Census Bureau suppresses data to protect the identity of any business or individual. The

census results in this table contain sampling errors and nonsampling errors. Data users who create their own estimates using data from American FactFinder tables should cite the Census Bureau as the

accurately report these data. In 2002, receipts, billings, or sales for construction work was collected.

A–2 Appendix A Construction

U.S. Census Bureau, 2002 Economic Census
This item includes the receipts, billings, or sales for construction work done by building contractors, heavy and civil engineering construction contractors, and specialty trade contractors.

Included are new construction, additions, alterations or reconstruction, and maintenance and

and building materials; paint, glass, and wallpaper; and electrical and wiring supplies, elevators,

or escalators were instructed to include both the value for the installation and receipts covering

the price of the items installed. Excluded are the cost of industrial and other special machinery

and equipment that are not an integral part of a structure and receipts from business operations

in foreign countries.

The value of construction work consists of several components that are summed up individually

engineering work for others are also included here. Excluded are nonoperating income such as

interest, dividends, the sale of fixed assets, or receipts from other business operations in foreign

countries.

NET VALUE OF CONSTRUCTION WORK

Includes the value of construction work less the cost of construction work subcontracted out to

others.

VALUE ADDED

This measure of construction activity is equal to value of business done, less costs for construction work subcontracted out to others and costs for materials, components, supplies, and fuels.

VALUE OF CONSTRUCTION WORK SUBCONTRACTED IN FROM OTHERS

Includes the value of construction work done by reporting establishments as subcontractors to

other contractors or builders. Establishments were asked to report the approximate percent of

total value of construction work accounted for by such work, and the percentages reported were

applied to the reported value of construction work to develop a dollar value.

CONSTRUCTION RECEIPTS PERCENT ESTIMATED

Construction receipts were obtained from census respondent forms. For establishments whose

respondent forms were not received at the time data were tabulated, the data were calculated

using industry averages and imputation for nonresponse.

Construction Appendix A A–3

U.S. Census Bureau, 2002 Economic Census
SELECTED COSTS

Includes the direct charges actually paid or payable for costs incurred for purchases of materials,

components, and supplies; costs of construction work subcontracted out to others; and costs for

selected power, fuels, and lubricants. Capital expenditures and rental costs for machinery, equipment, and structures are not included.

Cost of Materials, Components, and Supplies

Includes the costs for materials, components, and supplies used by establishments in the construction or reconstruction of buildings, structures, or other facilities plus costs for materials

bought and resold to others. Also included are costs made for direct purchases of materials, components, and supplies although the purchases were subsequently provided to subcontractors for

other direct charges representing only that amount paid after discounts and the value of materials, components, and supplies obtained from other establishments of the respondent’s company

are also included. Excluded from this item are the cost of fuels, lubricants, electric energy, and

industrial and other specialized machinery and equipment such as printing presses; computer systems that are not an integral part of a structure; and materials furnished to contractors by the

owners of projects.

Cost of Construction Work Subcontracted Out to Others

Includes all costs for construction work subcontracted out to other construction contractors during the reporting year. Excluded from this item are costs to the reporting establishment for its purchases of materials, components, and supplies provided to a subcontractor for use. These costs

are reported under costs for materials, components, and supplies. Also excluded are costs for the

rental of machinery or equipment.

Cost of Selected Power, Fuels, and Lubricants

Includes costs for fuels including gasoline, diesel fuel and lubricants, and electric energy purchased during the year from other companies or received from other establishments of the company. Also included are costs for natural gas, manufactured gas, fuel oil, and coal and coke products.

The components of selected power, fuels, and lubricants are:

1. Purchased electricity. This is the cost of electric energy purchased during the year from other

companies or received from other establishments of the company.

2. Natural gas and manufactured gas. This is the cost of natural gas and manufactured gas purchased during the year from other companies or received from other establishments of the

company.

3. Gasoline and diesel fuel. This is the cost of gasoline and diesel fuel purchased during the year

from other companies or received from other establishments of the company. This cost in broken down into two different uses of gasoline and diesel fuel. They are:

a. On-highway use of gasoline and diesel fuel. This is the cost of gasoline and diesel fuel purchased during the year to fuel highway vehicles. A highway vehicle is any self-propelled

vehicle designed to carry a load over public highways, whether or not the vehicle was also

designed to perform other functions. Examples of vehicles designed to carry a load over

public highways are passenger automobiles, trucks, and truck tractors. If a vehicle can be

used for a combination of on-highway and off-highway uses and has one fuel tank, the fuel

use is not considered off-highway. An example of this is a concrete-mixer truck where the

truck engine operates both the engine and the mixing unit by a power take-off and is

fueled by a single tank. None of the fuel used in this vehicle is off-highway because of the

on-highway use. If the vehicle has separate fuel tanks and engines, the fuel in a tank used

for non-highway use may be considered off-highway use.

A–4 Appendix A Construction

U.S. Census Bureau, 2002 Economic Census
b. Off-highway use of gasoline and diesel fuel. This is the cost of gasoline and diesel fuel purchased during the reporting year for off-highway use. Off-highway fuel use is the use of

fuel for trade, business, or income producing activity. In most cases, off-highway fuel use

does not include use in a highway vehicle registered or required to be registered for use on

public highways.

4. All other fuels and lubricants. This is the cost of fuels and lubricants purchased during the

year from other companies or received from other establishments of the company that are not

included as costs in any of these categories: natural gas; manufactured gas; gasoline; and diesel fuel.

down by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB), respondents were instructed to report

the original cost or market value as a fixed asset and as a capital expenditure, if acquired in the

reporting year. If the lease qualified as an operating lease, respondents were instructed not to

include the value of the building and equipment as a fixed asset or capital expenditure. If capital

expenditures were not recorded directly at the establishment level but handled centrally at a company or division level, respondents were requested to report appropriate estimates for the individual establishments.

RETIREMENTS AND DISPOSITION OF DEPRECIABLE ASSETS

Includes the gross value of depreciable assets sold, retired, scrapped, destroyed, abandoned, etc.,

useful life of an existing building or structure or which adapts a building or structure to a new

or different use. Included are “major replacements” of building systems such as the installation of a new roof or heating system and the resurfacing of streets or highways. This contrasts to the repair of a hole in a roof or the routine patching of highways and streets, which

would be classified as maintenance and repair.

3. Maintenance and repair. The incidental construction work which keeps a property in ordinary

working condition. Excluded are trash and snow removal, lawn maintenance and landscaping,

cleaning, and janitorial services.

Types 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. For example, a

restaurant building was to be classified in the restaurant category whether it was designed as a

commercial restaurant building or an auxiliary unit of an educational institution. If respondents

Construction Appendix A A–7

U.S. Census Bureau, 2002 Economic Census
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 its 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. There are two types of

construction:

1. Building Construction. The details for this type of construction are defined as:

VALUE OF CONSTRUCTION WORK FOR SPECIALIZED TYPE AND KIND OF BUSINESS

Includes value of construction work for one of two specialized categories. These categories

include types of construction and kind-of-business activity. A construction establishment specializes in a type of construction when fifty-one percent or more of the construction work done is in

one construction industry. The construction establishment reports each type of construction it

performs as a percent of value of construction work. Types of construction refers to the types of

buildings, structures, or facilities constructed or worked on by construction establishments in the

reporting year. Specialization in types of construction displays data for establishments with payroll that falls within each percent range of specialization. A construction establishment specializes

in a kind-of-business activity when fifty-one percent or more of the construction work done by the

establishment is performed in one type of business activity. The construction establishment

reports each kind-of-business activity engaged in as a percent of value of construction work. Kindof-business activity refers to the kinds of business activities construction establishments perform

throughout the reporting year. Examples of kind-of-business activity include highway and street

construction, electrical contracting, carpentry contracting, and concrete contracting. Specialization in kind-of-business activity displays data for establishments with payroll that fall within each

percent range of specialization.

SPECIALIZATION PERCENT

Includes data for establishments with payroll that fall within each percent range of specialization.

VALUE OF CONSTRUCTION WORK FOR ESTABLISHMENTS BY LOCATION OF WORK

This is the value of construction done in particular states by establishment. An establishment can

do construction in one or more states.

NAICS Codes, Titles, and Descriptions

SECTOR 23 CONSTRUCTION

The construction sector comprises establishments primarily engaged in the construction of buildings or engineering projects (e.g., highways and utility systems). Establishments primarily

engaged in the preparation of sites for new construction and establishments primarily engaged in

subdividing land for sale as building sites also are included in this sector.

Construction work done may include new work, additions, alterations, or maintenance and

repairs. Activities of these establishments generally are managed at a fixed place of business, but

they usually perform construction activities at multiple project sites. Production responsibilities

for establishments in this sector are usually specified in (1) contracts with the owners of construction projects (prime contracts) or (2) contracts with other construction establishments (subcontracts).

Establishments primarily engaged in contracts that include responsibility for all aspects of individual construction projects are commonly known as general contractors, but also may be known

as design-builders, construction managers, turnkey contractors, or (in cases where two or more

establishments jointly secure a general contract) joint-venture contractors. Construction managers

that provide oversight and scheduling only (i.e., agency) as well as construction managers that are

responsible for the entire project (i.e., at risk) are included as general contractor type establishments. Establishments of the “general contractor type” frequently arrange construction of separate

parts of their projects through subcontracts with other construction establishments.

Establishments primarily engaged in activities to produce a specific component (e.g., masonry,

painting, and electrical work) of a construction project are commonly known as specialty trade

contractors. Activities of specialty trade contractors are usually subcontracted from other construction establishments, but especially in remodeling and repair construction, the work may be

done directly for the owner of the property.

Establishments primarily engaged in activities to construct buildings to be sold on sites that they

own are known as operative builders, but also may be known as speculative builders or merchant

builders. Operative builders produce buildings in a manner similar to general contractors, but

their production processes also include site acquisition and securing of financial backing. Operative builders are most often associated with the construction of residential buildings. Like general

contractors, they may subcontract all or part of the actual construction work on their buildings.

There are substantial differences in the types of equipment, work force skills, and other inputs

required by establishments in this sector. To highlight these differences and variations in the

underlying production functions, this sector is divided into three subsectors.

Subsector 236, Construction of Buildings, comprises establishments of the general contractor

type and operative builders involved in the construction of buildings. Subsector 237, Heavy and

Civil Engineering Construction, comprises establishments involved in the construction of engineering projects. Subsector 238, Specialty Trade Contractors, comprises establishments engaged

in specialty trade activities generally needed in the construction of all types of buildings.

Force account construction is construction work performed by an enterprise primarily engaged in

some business other than construction for its own account and use, using employees of the enterprise. This activity is not included in the construction sector unless the construction work performed is the primary activity of a separate establishment of the enterprise. The installation and

the ongoing repair and maintenance of telecommunications and utility networks is excluded from

construction when the establishments performing the work are not independent contractors.

Construction Appendix B B–1

U.S. Census Bureau, 2002 Economic Census
Although a growing proportion of this work is subcontracted to independent contractors in the

Construction Sector, the operating units of telecommunications and utility companies performing

this work are included with the telecommunications or utility activities.

Methodology

SOURCES OF THE DATA

The construction sector includes approximately 650,000 establishments that were detemined to

be in-scope of the 2002 Economic Census — Construction. This number includes those industries

in the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) definition of construction with at

least one paid employee in 2002.

Establishments in the 2002 Economic Census are divided into those sent report forms and those

not sent report forms. The coverage of and the method of obtaining census information from each

are described below:

1. Establishments sent a report form:

Sample frame 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) that 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. For singlelocation companies, the IRS-SSA information is generally sufficient for assigning the company

to a specific six-digit NAICS industry code.

The 2002 NAICS structure for the construction sector was significantly revised from the 1997

NAICS structure. Initially, only a small proportion of the establishments in the sample frame

could be directly assigned a 2002 NAICS industry code with a high degree of confidence.

Therefore, a special classification card was mailed to 150,000 construction establishments in

early 2002. The goal of this classification card was to obtain the current NAICS industry code

prior to assembly of the sample frame for the economic census — construction sample.

2. Establishments not sent a report form:

a. Nonsample frame establishments. There were a limited number of establishments included

in the business register who were completely unclassified at the time of the economic census — construction sampling operation. These establishments were mailed a general classification card in early 2003. A portion of these were ultimately determined to be in-scope of

the economic census — construction. Since this determination was not made until after the

sample selection operation had been completed; these establishments were treated as a

supplement to the original universe and were sampled independently for inclusion in the

derived estimates.

b. All nonemployers, i.e., all firms subject to federal income tax, with no paid employees,

were also excluded from the 2002 sample frame, as in previous censuses. Nonemployers

with significant levels of receipts data were identified and included in the census mailout

under the presumption that the nonemployer status may have been incorrect. Those determined to have employees are included in this report. Data for nonemployers are not

included in this report, but are released in the annual Nonemployer Statistics series.

The report forms used to collect information for establishments in this sector are available at

help.econ.census.gov/econhelp/resources/.

Census at www.census.gov/econ/www/history.html.

INDUSTRY CLASSIFICATION OF ESTABLISHMENTS

The classifications for all establishments covered in the 2002 Economic Census — Construction

are classified in 1 of 31 industries in accordance with the industry definitions in the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS), United States, 2002 manual. Changes between 1997

and 2002 affecting this sector are discussed in the text at the beginning of this report. Tables at

www.census.gov/epcd/naics02/n02ton97.htm identify those industries that changed between the

1997 North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) and 2002 NAICS.

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 supplybased or production-oriented concepts in defining industries. The resulting group of establishments must be significant in terms of number, value added by construction, value of business

done, 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 2002, there are 3 subsectors (three-digit NAICS), 10 industry groups (four-digit NAICS), 28 NAICS industries (five-digit

NAICS) that are comparable with Canadian and Mexican classification, and 31 U.S. industries (sixdigit NAICS).

ESTABLISHMENT BASIS OF REPORTING

The 2002 Economic Census — Construction 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 are conducted. With some exceptions, a relatively

permanent office is one that has been established for the management of more than one project

or job and that 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.

The 2002 Economic Census — Construction excludes data for central administrative offices

(CAOs). These would include separately operated administrative offices, warehouses, garages, and

other auxiliary units that service construction establishments of the same company. These data

are published in a separate report series.

DESCRIPTION OF THE SAMPLE FRAME

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

estimates at the state by industry level. For sample efficiency considerations, the establishments

in the initial 2002 construction frame were partitioned into two components for developing estimates within the sample frame. The details of each are described below:

1. Probability-proportionate-to-size (pps) sample. There were three non-overlapping strata for

sample selection. An independent sample was selected within each state by industry cell. The

details of each stratum were defined as:

C–2 Appendix C Construction

U.S. Census Bureau, 2002 Economic Census
• Stratum 1. This stratum was comprised of approximately 12,000 establishments associated

with multilocation companies. The establishments of these multiunit companies were

included in the construction sample with certainty.

• Stratum 2. This stratum was comprised of approximately 145,000 single-location companies that could be classified into a valid 2002 NAICS industry. These cases accounted for

approximately 75 percent of the payroll associated with single-location companies in construction. The industry code for most of these establishments was determined from the

special classification card that was mailed in early 2002. This group was partitioned into

state by NAICS (six-digit) cells and an independent sample selected from each cell. Within

each cell, a probability-proportionate-to-size (pps) sampling strategy was used. Under this

approach, the probability of selection for the sample for larger establishments is higher

than for smaller establishments. There were approximately 80,000 establishments selected

from this group.

• Stratum 3. This stratum was comprised of the remaining single-location companies. For

these companies, we did not have an updated 2002 NAICS industry code. The most recent

classification information available for these companies was their 1997 NAICS. Using this

1997 NAICS industry code, this stratum was partitioned into state by NAICS (four-digit)

cells; and an independent sample selected from each cell. Again, probability-proportionateto-size sampling methodology was utilized. There were approximately 30,000 establishments selected from this group.

Subsequent to the initial census mail-out, companies that initiated operations in 2002 were

identified via administrative sources. To assure proper representation of the entire in-scope

population, simple random samples of these new operations were selected and mailed

separately.

2. Estimation and variances. Based on the response data, establishments were assigned to the

appropriate NAICS (six-digit) 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.

The resulting estimates were generated from one of many possible samples and are subject to

sampling variability. Estimates of this sample variability were independently derived at all levels of aggregation. These sampling variances were then aggregated to the publication levels

for the computation of the relative standard errors.

RELIABILITY OF DATA

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.

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,

complete-coverage values.

Estimates of the standard errors have been computed from the sample data. They are presented in

the form of relative standard errors that 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, complete-coverage value for

specified percentages of all the possible samples.

The complete-coverage value would be included in the range:

Construction Appendix C C–3

U.S. Census Bureau, 2002 Economic Census
• From one standard error below to one standard error above the derived estimate for about twothirds 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 complete-coverage 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 completecoverage 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.

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.

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 in a specific industry or geographic area is not considered

a disclosure; therefore, this information may be released even though other information is withheld. Techniques employed to limit disclosure are discussed at

www.census.gov/epcd/ec02/disclosure.htm.
