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.

The economic census furnishes an important part of the

framework for such composite measures as the gross

domestic product, input/ output measures, production and

price indexes, and other statistical series that measure

short-term changes in economic conditions.

Policymaking agencies of the Federal Government use

the data, especially in monitoring economic activity and

providing assistance to business.

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 and 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.

AUTHORITY AND SCOPE

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 1992 Economic Census consists of the following eight

censuses:

• Census of Retail Trade

• Census of Wholesale Trade

• Census of Service Industries

• Census of Financial, Insurance, and Real Estate

Industries

• Census of Transportation, Communications, and

Utilities

• Census of Manufactures

• Census of Mineral Industries

• Census of Construction Industries

Special programs also cover enterprise statistics and

minority-owned and women-owned businesses. (The 1992

Census of Agriculture and 1992 Census of Governments

are conducted separately.) The next economic census is

scheduled to be taken in 1998 covering the year 1997.

AVAILABILITY OF THE DATA

The results of the economic census are available in

printed reports for sale by the U.S. Government Printing

Office and on compact discs for sale by the Census

Bureau. Order forms for all types of products are available

on request from Customer Services, Bureau of the Census,

Washington, DC 20233-8300. A more complete description of publications being issued from this census is on the

inside back cover of this document.

Census facts are also widely disseminated by trade

associations, business journals, and newspapers. Volumes containing census statistics are available in most

major public and college libraries. Finally, State data

centers in every State as well as business and industry

data centers in many States also supply economic census

statistics.

WHAT’S NEW IN 1992

The 1992 Economic Census covers more of the economy

than any previous census. New for 1992 are data on

communications, utilities, finance, insurance, and real estate,

as well as coverage of more transportation industries. The

economic, agriculture, and governments censuses now

collectively cover nearly 98 percent of all economic activity.

Among other changes, new 1992 definitions affect the

boundaries of about a third of all metropolitan areas. Also,

the Survey of Women-Owned Businesses has now been

expanded to include all corporations.

HISTORICAL INFORMATION

The economic census has been taken as an integrated

program at 5-year intervals since 1967 and before that for

1963, 1958, and 1954. Prior to that time, the individual

subcomponents of the economic census were taken separately at varying intervals.

WHOLESALE TRADE—SUBJECT SERIES INTRODUCTION III
 JOBNAME: No Job Name PAGE: 2 SESS: 45 OUTPUT: Tue Aug 22 09:53:17 1995 / pssw01/ disk2/ economic/ wc92s/ 3/ history

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 1840 and subsequent censuses to include mining and some commercial activities. In

1902, Congress established a permanent Census Bureau

and directed that a census of manufactures be taken every

5 years. The 1905 Manufactures Census was the first time

a census was taken apart from the regular every-10-year

population census.

The first census of business was taken in 1930, covering 1929. Initially it covered retail and wholesale trade and

construction industries, but it was broadened in 1933 to

include some of the service trades.

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 Enterprise Statistics Program, which

publishes combined data from the economic census, was

made possible with the implementation of the integrated

census program in 1954.

The range of industries covered in the economic censuses has continued to expand. The census of construction industries began on a regular basis in 1967, and the

scope of service industries was broadened in 1967, 1977,

and 1987. The census of transportation began in 1963 as

a set of surveys covering travel, transportation of commodities, and trucks, but expanded in 1987 to cover business

establishments in several transportation industries. For

1992, these statistics are incorporated into a broadened

census of transportation, communications, and utilities.

Also new for 1992 is the census of financial, insurance,

and real estate industries. This is part of a gradual expansion in coverage of industries previously subjected to

government regulation.

The Survey of Minority-Owned Business Enterprises

was first conducted as a special project in 1969 and was

incorporated into the economic census in 1972 along with

the Survey of Women-Owned Businesses.

An economic census has also been taken in Puerto

Rico since 1909, in the Virgin Islands of the United States

and Guam since 1958, and in the Commonwealth of the

Northern Mariana Islands since 1982.

Statistical reports from the 1987 and earlier censuses

provide historical figures for the study of long-term time

series and are available in some large libraries. All of the

census data published since 1967 are still available for

sale on microfiche from the Census Bureau.

AVAILABILITY OF MORE FREQUENT

ECONOMIC DATA

While the census provides complete enumerations every

5 years, there are many needs for more frequent data as

well. The Census Bureau conducts a number of monthly,

quarterly, and annual surveys, with the results appearing in

publication series such as Current Business Reports (retail

and wholesale trade and service industries), the Annual

Survey of Manufactures, Current Industrial Reports, and

the Quarterly Financial Report. Most of these surveys,

while providing more frequent observations, yield less

kind-of-business and geographic detail than the census.

The County Business Patterns program offers annual

statistics on the number of establishments, employment,

and payroll classified by industry within each county.

SOURCES FOR MORE INFORMATION

More information about the scope, coverage, classification system, data items, and publications for each of the

economic censuses and related surveys is published in the

Guide to the 1992 Economic Census and Related Statistics. More information on the methodology, procedures,

and history of the census will be published in the History of

the 1992 Economic Census. Contact Customer Services

for information on availability.

Census of Wholesale Trade

GENERAL

The 1992 Census of Wholesale Trade, part of the 1992

Economic Census, covered wholesale trade as defined in

the Standard Industrial Classification Manual: 1987 1 (SIC).

It included all establishments with one or more paid

employees primarily engaged in selling merchandise to

retailers; other wholesalers; or industrial, commercial, institutional, farm, or professional users. Companies selling

products to which they have title, as well as those acting as

agents or brokers in buying or selling merchandise to

others, are included. The census excluded governmental

organizations classified in the covered industries except

for wholesale liquor establishments operated by State and

local governments.

The basic tabulations in this report do not include data

for establishments which are ‘‘auxiliary’’ (primary function

is providing a service, such as warehouses) to other

establishments within the same organization. Data for

auxiliaries are presented in a subsequent report issued as

part of the 1992 Enterprise Statistics reports.

Wholesale firms without employees are excluded from

the census. In the census of retail trade, the sales of firms

with no paid employees are derived from administrative

records of other Federal agencies rather than from a direct

canvass. These sources proved impractical for wholesale

firms without paid employees. In the census of wholesale

trade, the sales value is the gross volume of business

conducted. Firms which operated wholly or partly on a

commission basis must provide both the gross volume of

business conducted and commission receipts on census

forms. Agents and brokers do not report to other Federal

agencies the gross selling value of goods. Moreover,

administrative records make no distinction between commission receipts and sales of products by wholesalers.

Appendix A gives a more detailed explanation of census

coverage and methodology.

COMMODITY LINE SALES

This report represents a recompilation of establishments and sales data collected in the 1992 Census of

Wholesale Trade according to various categories of commodity lines sold by wholesale establishments.

An individual establishment (i.e., business location) is

the unit to which a single kind-of-business classification is

assigned and for which data are summarized in most

wholesale census tabulations. Prior to their recompilation

by commodity line category, kind-of-business statistics did

not reveal the commodity line composition of wholesale

sales. Therefore, they did not meet many important data

needs of manufacturers, retailers, the Government, business analysts, wholesalers, and other data users.

To meet some of these needs, sales by commodity line

that were collected in the census are presented in this

report by broad commodity line groupings. While information is desired for individual products or more detailed

commodity line categories than are shown in this report,

reporting in greater detail was not feasible.

In planning the commodity line inquiries for the 1992

Census of Wholesale Trade, the Bureau of the Census

consulted extensively with trade associations and business firms, both for advise on the information to be

provided by the census and on the reportability of the data

on which such information would be based. The amount of

detail requested in the census reflected both of these

considerations, with reportability being the limiting factor.

Broad commodity lines were devised to account for all

the sales and receipts of wholesale establishments regardless of kind-of-business classification. These lines are

identified in the various tables by commodity line codes

ending in ‘‘0’’. In addition to the major lines, additional

detail within certain of these major lines was requested on

many of the report forms.

CENSUS DISCLOSURE RULES

In accordance with Federal law governing census reports,

no data 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 disclosure, therefore, this

information may be released even though other information is withheld.

GEOGRAPHIC AREAS COVERED

DOLLAR VALUES

All dollar values presented in this report are expressed

in current dollars, i.e., 1992 data are expressed in 1992

dollars and 1987 data in 1987 dollars. Consequently, when

making comparisons to prior years, users of the data

should consider the inflation that has occurred

RELIABILITY OF DATA

The commodity line sales data presented in this report

are based, in part, upon a sample and, therefore, are

subject to both sampling errors and nonsampling errors.

Specifically, these data are estimated based on information obtained from census questionnaires mailed to all

large employers and to a sample of small employers in the

wholesale universe. Sampling errors affect these estimates insofar as they may differ from a complete enumeration. 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.

The reliability of the commodity line sales estimates in

this report is determined by the joint effects of sampling

and nonsampling errors. No direct measurement of nonsampling errors 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 the data in an effort to minimize the

effects. For more detailed information on the sampling

procedure, estimation procedure, and sampling error that

apply to these data, see appendix A. Table 9 presents

information on commodity line sales coverage for the

published estimates and appendix A describes the derivation and significance of these coverage data. Also, see

appendix E for an indication on the extent that data for

kind-of-business totals included in this report were obtained

from the administrative records of other Federal agencies

and from estimation, rather than reports directly from

respondents.

Finally, it should be noted that selected data in these

tables are not subject to sampling errors, but may be

affected by nonsampling errors. These data are the figures

presented for wholesale trade at each kind-of-business

and type-of-operation category on total number of establishments and total sales for establishments. These figures

are based on data obtained either from census questionnaires or from the administrative records of other Federal

agencies and are not estimates derived from a sample.

SPECIAL TABULATIONS

Special tabulations of data collected in the 1992 Census

of Wholesale Trade may be obtained, depending on availability of time and personnel, on diskette, computer tape,

or in tabular form. The data will be in summary form and

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) as are 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, Services Division, Bureau of the

Census, Washington, DC 20233.

Appendix A.

General Explanation

CENSUS COVERAGE AND METHODOLOGY

Structure and method of enumeration. All wholesale

firms that had at least one quarter of payroll in 1992 were

included in the census of wholesale trade and were mailed

either a regular census form or a short form designed to

collect basic data and classification information only. The

coverage and the method of obtaining census information

from each follow:

1. Large companies, i.e., all multiunit firms and all single

unit firms above the payroll size cutoff established to

separate large from small employers, and a 10-percent

sample of the small employers were mailed the appropriate 1992 Census of Distributive Trades establishment report forms. Although the payroll cutoff varied

by kind of business, small employers generally included

firms with one to three employees and represented

about 10 percent of total wholesale sales. For the

large companies, a report of company organization is

conducted periodically to identify firms which operated

establishments at more than one location and to

obtain information on payroll and mid-March employment at each location. The 1991 Report of Company

Organization was used as a coverage check in the

census. In the 1992 Census, all multiestablishment

firms were asked to notify the Census Bureau of any

establishments for which a form was not received.

Report forms were subsequently provided to the firms

for these establishments.

2. Small companies other than those included in the

10-percent sample described above were mailed the

short forms, which did not include questions on sales

by commodity lines and employment by principal activity.

Method of classifying kinds of business. Establishments receiving the regular census forms were classified

on the basis of their answers to questions on sales by

commodity lines and other inquiries. Those that received

short forms were classified on the basis of their selfdesignation and answers to other inquiries.

COMPARABILITY OF THE 1987 AND 1992

CENSUSES

The 1987 and 1992 censuses were conducted under

similar conditions and procedures except for the following:

Classifications. In both 1992 and 1987, classifications

are based on the 1987 Standard Industrial Classification

Manual1 (SIC). As a result of a later clarification in 1992,

the sale of industrial controls has been classified in

electrical apparatus and equipment, wiring supplies, and

construction materials (SIC 5063) as it was in 1982 and all

previous censuses. In 1987, the sale of industrial controls

was classified in industrial machinery and equipment (SIC

5084).

COMMODITY LINE SALES

Commodity line inquiry composition. The commodity

line inquiries on wholesale trade questionnaires were

tailored to the kinds of business that would receive them.

A broad commodity line was listed on a particular report

form only if it accounted for a significant share of sales

reported by the kind-of-business categories receiving that

form in 1987.

Because a complete set of broad lines was not present

on any particular wholesale trade questionnaire, respondents sometimes found that part of their sales did not fit

any available commodity line category. When this occurred,

they were asked to report these sales on lines for ‘‘miscellaneous commodities-specify’’ and to describe the kinds

of commodity represented. Census personnel subsequently

attemptedto classifyeachcommoditybasedontherespondent’s

description and to assign the sales to the appropriate

commodity line category. A small percentage of sales

could not be classified and is therefore summarized in this

report in a category called ‘‘miscellaneous commodities’’

(CL code 9800).

The effect of excluding insignificant broad commodity

lines on particular report forms is an understatement of the

number of establishments handling each commodity line

and the corresponding sales figure. The magnitude of this

understatement for all commodity lines combined is indicated by the data presented for the ‘‘miscellaneous commodity’’ category. The effect will be greatest for commodity line categories that are minor components of total sales

for a particular kind-of-business classification.

Limitations in reporting sales by commodity

lines. There was a tendency on the part of respondents

to fail to identify minor lines for their particular business

and to include the sales of such minor lines with major

ones. This deficiency has the effect of understating the

number of outlets for individual commodity lines and

affects the measurement of the volume of sales of individual lines.

Commodity line categories by which individual wholesalers group their sales are not uniform and will not always

correspond to categories established in a reporting system

designed for general use. Because some wholesalers had

little, if any, recorded information on sales by line of

commodity, a substantial amount of estimation may be

involved in the reporting of commodity lines. There is no

assurance that the pattern for the establishments reporting

sales by commodity lines is representative of those which

did not report. It was concluded the effect of individual

differences and of the use of approximations would be

negligible in summary tabulations. Figures for commodity

line sales should constitute useful approximations to serve

many important current requirements and should be helpful in measuring important changes occurring over fairly

long intervals, such as between successive censuses.

Treatment of nonresponse. The reporting of commodity

lines was incomplete or inadequate for establishments

representing about 20 percent of the total dollar volume of

sales. However, commodity line data have been expanded

on the premise that the experience of those establishments not reporting commodity line data paralleled those

establishments in the same kinds of business which reported

this information. Because of the method by which commodity line sales are expanded, some inconsistencies

between establishments for various lines may result. However, each estimate should be regarded as valid.

Expansion methodology for 1987 and 1992 are essentially identical. In both cases, commodity line data were

expanded at the lowest published level of geography and

kind-of-business classification based on reporting experience at that level. If there were no reported commodity line

data for a particular combination of kind of business and

type of operation, expansion factors developed at the

United States level were used to produce an estimate. The

estimates from the most detailed kind of business and type

of operation were then summed to produce higher level

estimates, i.e., for broader kind-of-business and type-ofoperation categories.

Coverage. Table 9 presents the coverage for each kind

of business and type of operation shown and indicates the

degree to which establishments acceptably reported sales

for broad commodity lines. Coverage was determined by

dividing total sales of establishments reporting acceptable

data for broad lines (whether or not additional detail lines

were reported) by total sales of all establishments classified in that particular kind of business.

Except when precluded by the census disclosure rules

(see introduction), data have been shown for individual

kinds of business when the dollar volume of reporting

coverage accounted for 60 percent or more of sales after

weighing commodity line sales of the sample of ‘‘small

companies’’ as described in the ‘‘Census Coverage and

Methodology’’ section above. The fact an establishment

reported its sales by broad commodity line does not always

mean all lines handled by the establishment were reported

separately.

Measures of sampling variability. Because the commodity lines estimates are based in part on a sample, exact

agreement with the results that would be obtained from a

complete census of establishments using the same enumeration procedure should not be expected. However,

because each establishment’s chance of being selected

for the sample was known, it was possible to estimate the

sampling variability of the estimates made from the sample.

The standard error of the estimate is a measure of the

variability among the estimates from all possible samples

of the same size and design and, thus, is a measure of the

precision with which an estimate from a particular sample

approximates the results of a complete enumeration. The

coefficient of variation (expressed as a percent) is the

standard error of the estimate divided by the value being

estimated. Note that measures of sampling variability, such

as the standard error or coefficient of variation, are estimated from the sample and are also subject to sampling

variability. Tables of coefficients of variation for the broad

and detail line estimates are shown in appendix H, tables

1 and 2.

The coefficients of variation presented in these tables

allow certain confidence statements about the sample

estimates. The particular sample used in this survey was

one of a large number of samples of the same size that

could have been selected using the same design. In about

2 out of 3 (67 percent) of these samples, the estimates

would differ from a complete enumeration by less than the

corresponding percentages for that estimate shown in the

coefficients of variation tables. In about 9 out of 10 (90

percent) of these samples, the estimates would differ from

the results of a complete enumeration by less than 1.65

times the percentages shown. In about 19 out of 20 (95

percent) of the samples, the estimates would differ from

the results of a complete enumeration by less than two

times the percentage shown.

To illustrate the computations involved in the above

confidence statements as related to the dollar value

estimates, assume that an estimate of sales is $10,750

million for a particular broad line, and the coefficient of

variation for this estimate is 1.8 percent or 0.018. First,

obtain the standard error of the estimate by multiplying the

estimate by the coefficient of variation. In this example,

$10,750 million times 0.018 yields a standard error of $194

million. The upper bound of the 67-percent confidence

interval can then be formed by adding the standard error to

the estimate and the lower bound formed by subtracting

the standard error from the estimate. Thus, the 67-percent

confidence interval for this example is $10,556 million to

$10,944 million ($10,750 million plus or minus $194 million). If corresponding confidence intervals were constructed for all possible samples of the same size and

design, approximately 2 out of 3 (67 percent) of the

intervals would contain the figure obtained from a complete enumeration.

Typical practice is to construct a 90- or 95-percent

confidence interval. Using the same illustration as above, a

90-percent confidence interval would be $10,430 million to

$11,070 million ($10,750 million plus or minus $320 million). Similarly, a 95-percent confidence interval is $10,362

million to $11,138 million ($10,750 million plus or minus

$388 million).

Description of the tables. Tables 1, 3, 5, and 7 present

data for all types of operations; merchant wholesalers;

manufacturers’ sales branches and offices; and agents,

brokers, and commission merchants, respectively. It provides, for each kind of business and commodity line, the

number of establishments handling the line and their sales

of the line; the percentage of total sales of the specific kind

of business accounted for by each of the lines carried; and

the degree of specialization for each line in that line.

Specialization is derived by computing sales of a line as a

percentage of total sales of establishments that handled

that particular line.

Information on detailed commodity lines appear only in

connection with specific kind of business to which the lines

apply. Data relating to the detailed lines are indented

below the applicable broad line in the tabulations.

Commodity lines that present less than 0.05 percent of

sales in a specific kind of business, and commodity lines

that were not shown separately to avoid disclosure have

been combined into a ‘‘all other commodities’’ category.

Because of rounding procedures used, detail may not add

to the totals.

Tables 2, 4, 6, and 8 provide summary data by broad

commodity lines, including counts of establishments handling the line and total sales of the line. Also provided,

within each broad commodity line, are counts of establishments carrying the line and the amount and percent of the

line sold by various kinds of wholesalers.

Table 9 presents information on sales coverage of

establishments reporting commodity lines that can be used

as a guide in evaluating the validity of the commodity line

data.

EXPLANATION OF TERMS

Establishments. An establishment is a single physical

location at which business is conducted. It is not necessarily identical with a company or enterprise, which may

consist of one establishment or more. Census of wholesale trade figures represent a summary of reports for

individual establishments rather than companies. For cases

where a census report was received, separate information

was obtained for each location where business was conducted. When administrative records of other Federal

agencies were used instead of a census report, no information was available on the number of locations operated.

Estimates of this number were derived from a sample and

are provided in the wholesale trade report, Miscellaneous

Subjects (WC92-S-4). Each wholesale establishment was

tabulated according to the physical location at which the

business was conducted. The count of establishments

represents the number in business at any time during

1992. Appendix G provides a comparison of the number of

establishments active any time during the year versus the

number in business at the end of the year.

When two activities or more were carried on at a single

location under a single ownership, all activities generally

were grouped together as a single establishment. The

entire establishment was classified on the basis of its

major activity and all data for it were included in that

classification. However, when distinct and separate economic activities (for which different industry classification

codes were appropriate) were conducted at a single

location under a single ownership, and when conditions

prescribed by the SIC manual for recognizing the existence

of more than one establishment were met, separate establishment reports for each of the different activities were

obtained in the census.

Firms. A firm is a business organization or entity consisting

of one domestic establishment (location) or more under

common ownership or control. All establishments of subsidiary firms are included as part of the owning or controlling firm. For the economic census, the terms ‘‘firm’’ and

‘‘company’’ are synonymous.

Sales. Sales include merchandise sold for cash or credit at

wholesale and retail by establishments primarily engaged

in wholesale trade; receipts from rental or leasing of

vehicles, equipment, instruments, tools, etc.; receipts for

delivery, installation, maintenance, repair, alteration, storage, and other services; and gasoline, liquor, tobacco, and

other excise taxes which are paid by the manufacturer and

passed on to the wholesaler.

Sales are net after deductions for refunds and allowances for merchandise returned by customers. Trade-in

allowances are not deducted from total sales. Total sales

do not include carrying or other credit charges; sales (or

other) taxes collected from customers and forwarded to

taxing authorities; and nonoperating income from such

sources as investments, rental or sale of real estate, etc.

Sales in this report do not include wholesale sales made

by manufacturers, retailers, service establishments, or

other businesses whose primary activity is other than

wholesale trade. They do include receipts other than from

the sale of merchandise at wholesale, e.g., service receipts,

retail sales, etc., by establishments primarily engaged in

wholesale trade.

Sales figures include sales of all establishments in

business at any time during the year. Sales shown for

agents and brokers represented the value of the goods

involved in the transactions rather than the commissions

received or earnings.

Auxiliary establishments. Each company included in this

census was asked to identify and separately report auxiliary locations whose primary functions were to manage,

administer, service, or support the activities of the other

establishments of the company. Data presented in this

report do not include auxiliary establishments. Data for

auxiliaries are presented in a subsequent report issued as

part of the 1992 Enterprise Statistics reports.

KIND-OF-BUSINESS CLASSIFICATIONS

Wholesale trade, major groups 50 and 51 in the 1987

SIC manual, includes establishments primarily engaged in

selling merchandise to retailers; to industrial, commercial,

institutional, farm, or professional business users; or to

other wholesalers; or acting as agents or brokers in buying

merchandise for or selling merchandise to such persons or

companies.

The principal types of establishments included are:

1. Merchant wholesalers who take title to the goods they

sell, such as wholesale merchants or jobbers, industrial distributors, voluntary group wholesalers, drop

shippers, retailer cooperative warehouses, terminal

elevators, and cooperative buying associations.

2. Manufacturers’ sales branches and offices (but not

retail stores) maintained by manufacturing or mining

enterprises apart from their plants or mines for the

purpose of marketing their products. Sales branches

and offices located at plants are included when separate records are available.

3. Agents, brokers, and commission merchants who buy

or sell products owned by others on a commission or

agency basis.

Establishments primarily engaged in the wholesale distribution of used products are classified on the basis of the

product sold. Establishments primarily engaged in selling

merchandise to contractors are included in wholesale

trade, with the exception of lumber yards and paint, glass,

and wallpaper stores. These exceptions are classified in

retail trade if they consider themselves retail, sell to the

general public, and their sales to contractors and the

general public is more than half their total sales.

Establishments covered by the census were assigned

kind-of-business classifications according to the industry

classifications defined in the 1987 SIC manual. When a

more detailed classification than defined in the SIC manual

was needed, additional kinds of businesses were identified

within an SIC industry.

Kind-of-business classifications are not interchangeable

with commodity classifications, because most businesses

sell several kinds of commodities. The kind-of-business

code assigned generally reflects either the individual commodity or the commodity group which is the primary source

of the establishment’s receipts, or some mixture of commodities which characterizes the establishment’s business. Thus, the classification of establishments by kind of

business does not make it possible to determine either the

number of establishments handling a particular commodity

or the sales of that commodity. For example, the groceries

and related products classification excludes establishments selling food if the sale of food is not the primary

source of receipts; moreover, even though establishments

are classified as groceries and related products, some of

their receipts may be derived from the sale of nonfood

products. Information on the extent to which commodities

are handled by different kinds of business is available in

the 1992 Census of Wholesale Trade report, Commodity

Line Sales (WC92-S-3). Descriptions of the 1992 Census

of Wholesale Trade kind-of-business classifications follow:

business, ownership of the goods sold, or character of the

principal transactions. Establishments in wholesale trade

are grouped into the following three major types of operation and related subgroups:

Merchant wholesalers. Establishments primarily engaged

in buying and selling merchandise on their own account.

Included here are such types of establishments as wholesale merchants or jobbers, industrial distributors, voluntary

group wholesalers, importers, exporters, cash and carry

wholesalers, retailer cooperative warehouses, terminal and

country grain elevators, farm products assemblers, wholesale cooperative associations, and petroleum bulk plants

and terminals operated by nonrefining companies.

Wholesale distributors and jobbers. Establishments

primarily engaged in buying and selling merchandise in

the domestic market not manufactured by the parent

company.

Importers. Establishments buying and selling goods at

wholesale on their own account, whose principal source

of purchases was foreign.

Exporters. Establishments primarily engaged in purchasing goods in the United States and selling them to

foreign customers.

Terminal grain elevators. Grain elevators primarily engaged

in buying and selling grain received from country grain

elevators and grain marketing establishments. They

have sizable space for grain storage, and products are

received primarily by rail or barge rather than by truck.

Country grain elevators. Grain elevators, cooperative or

other, buying and receiving grain directly from farmers

by truck and selling at wholesale.

Assemblers of farm products, except country grain

elevators. Establishments primarily engaged in purchasing directly from farmers and assembling and marketing

farm products at wholesale.

Manufacturers’ sales branches and offices. Establishments maintained by manufacturing, refining, and mining

companies apart from their plants or mines for marketing

their products at wholesale. Branch stores selling to household consumers and individual users are classified in retail

trade. Sales branches and offices located at plants and

administrative offices are included when separate records

are available.

Manufacturers’ sales branches. A branch with a stock

of merchandise for sale. Included are refiner—marketers

owned and operated by petroleum refining companies

primarily for marketing their products.

Manufacturers’ sales offices. An office without a stock

of merchandise for sale.

Agents, brokers, and commission merchants. Establishments whose operators are in business for themselves

and are primarily engaged in selling or buying goods for

others. Included here are such types of operations as

auction companies, import agents, export agents, selling

agents, merchandise brokers, and commission merchants.

‘‘Sales’’ as shown in census publications for agents,

brokers, and commission merchants represent the gross

sales (or purchase) value of the goods in the transactions

negotiated.

Auction companies. Wholesale establishments primarily engaged in selling merchandise on an agency basis

by auction.

Brokers (representing buyers or sellers). Wholesale establishments primarily engaged in selling or buying merchandise in the domestic market on a brokerage basis

but not receiving the goods on consignment.

Commission merchants. Wholesale establishments operating in the domestic market receiving goods for sale on

consignment.

Import agents. Merchandise agents and brokers in the

domestic market buying merchandise from or selling

merchandise for foreign firms.

Export agents. Merchandise agents and brokers in the

domestic market selling to or buying for foreign customers.

Manufacturers’ agents. Wholesale establishments in

the domestic market selling for a limited number of

manufacturers on a continuing agency basis.

1992 CENSUS OF WHOLESALE TRADE

Publications of the 1992 Census of Wholesale Trade, containing data on wholesale trade establishments with payroll in the

United States, are described below. Publications order forms for

specific reports may be obtained from any Department of Commerce district office or from Data User Services Division, Customer Services, Bureau of the Census, Washington, DC 20233-

8300. The first results were issued in press releases. Final

detailed statistics are issued in separate paperbound reports and

compact disc-read only memory (CD-ROM).

Final Reports

Geographic area series—52 reports

(WC92-A-1 to -52)

A separate paperbound report containing data for establishments with payroll is published for each State, the District of

Columbia, and the United States. Each report presents general

statistics for establishments with payroll, on number of establishments, sales, payroll, employment, operating expenses, and

inventories. At the State level, data also are presented separately

for the following types of wholesale operations: merchant wholesalers; manufacturers’ sales branches and offices; and agents,

brokers, and commission merchants. Less type-of-operation detail

is shown below the State level. For States, MA’s, and counties

and places with 200 wholesale establishments or more, statistics

are presented by kind of business. Greater kind-of-business

detail is shown for larger areas. In addition, data are shown for all

places with 2,500 inhabitants or more and all counties (with no

kind-of-business detail). For each State, the District of Columbia,

and the United States, 1992 data are provided on sales and

employees per establishment, sales and payroll per employee,

payroll as a percent of operating expenses, and operating

expenses and end-of-year inventories as percentages of sales.

Comparative statistics showing percent changes in sales and

payroll between 1987 and 1992 also are shown by kind of

business.

Subject series—4 reports

(WC92-S-1 to -4)

The Establishment and Firm Size report (WC92-S-1) presents

data for establishments with payroll, based on size of establishment, size of company or firm, and legal form of organization.

Establishment statistics are presented by sales size and by

employment size; statistics for firms by sales size (including

concentration by largest firms), by employment size, and by

number of establishments operated (single units and multiunits).

Statistics are presented by kind of business on the number of

establishments, sales, payroll, and employment for the United

States.

The Measures of Value Produced, Capital Expenditures, Depreciable Assets, and Operating Expenses report (WC92-S-2) presents data on measures of value produced, capital expenditures,

depreciable assets, and operating expenses for firms with payroll

for the United States by major kind of business. Measures of

value produced include gross margin, value added, and net

income produced at market prices and factor costs. Operating

expenses include annual payroll, supplemental labor costs, purchased services, etc. Sales, purchases, and beginning and

ending inventories data also are provided.

The Commodity Line Sales report (WC92-S-3) presents data

on major categories of commodities sold by wholesale kind of

business for the United States. Data for 15 selected MA’s and 15

selected States will be available on electronic media only. Tables

present data for each kind of business and show, for each

commodity line, the number of establishments handling the line

and their sales of the line; the percentage of total sales of the

kind of business accounted for by each of the lines carried; and,

for establishments actually handling a specific line, the percentage of total sales represented by sales of that line. Summary

statistics also are provided for the broad commodity line categories, including counts of establishments and the amount and

percentage of the line sold by various kinds of wholesale

businesses.

The Miscellaneous Subjects report (WC92-S-4) contains data

by kind of business on employment by principal activity; sales by

class of customer; inventory valuation methods; commissions

and gross selling value of business conducted for others by

agents and brokers; gross margins, gross profits, and their

components; and on petroleum bulk stations and terminals. Data

are presented for the United States as a whole; for petroleum

bulk stations and terminals, States, and counties.

Electronic Media

All data included in the printed reports are available on

CD-ROM. The CD-ROM’s provide the same information found in

the final reports as well as additional information not published in

the final reports, such as commodity line sales data for States

(WC92-S-3). Electronic media products are available for users

who wish to summarize, rearrange, or process large amounts of

data. These products, with corresponding technical documentation, are sold by Data User Services Division, Customer Services,

Bureau of the Census, Washington, DC 20233-8300.

OTHER ECONOMIC CENSUS REPORTS

Data on retail trade, service industries, transportation, communications, utilities, financial, insurance, real estate, construction industries, manufactures, mineral industries, enterprise statistics, minority-owned business enterprises, and women-owned

businesses also are available from the 1992 Economic Census. A

separate series of reports covers the census of outlying areas:

Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands of the United States, Guam, and the

Northern Marianas. Separate announcements describing these

reports are available free of charge from Data User Services

Division, Customer Services, Bureau of the Census, Washington,
