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.

RETAIL TRADE—SUBJECT SERIES INTRODUCTION III
 JOBNAME: No Job Name PAGE: 2 SESS: 48 OUTPUT: Thu Jul 13 11:44:50 1995 / pssw02/ disk2/ economic/ rc92s/ 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 Retail Trade

GENERAL

The 1992 Census of Retail Trade, part of the 1992

Economic Census, covered retail trade as defined in the

Standard Industrial Classification Manual: 19871 (SIC). It

included all establishments primarily engaged in selling

merchandise for personal or household consumption and

rendering services incidental to the sale of the goods. The

census excluded governmental organizations classified in

the covered industries except for liquor stores operated by

State and local governments. Data for direct sellers (SIC

5963) with no paid employees and post exchanges, ship

stores, and similar establishments operated on military

posts by agencies of the Federal Government were not

included. 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 retail

establishments within the same organization. Data for

auxiliaries are presented in a subsequent report issued as

part of the 1992 Enterprise Statistics reports.

For the 1992 Census of Retail Trade, large- and mediumsize firms, plus all firms known to operate more than one

establishment, were sent questionnaires to be completed

and returned to the Census Bureau by mail. For most very

small firms, including those with no paid employees, data

from existing administrative records of other Federal agencies were used instead. These records provided basic

information on location, kind of business, sales, payroll,

number of employees, and legal form of organization. In

addition, more detailed information for selected kinds of

business was obtained on the various questionnaires.

Appendix A gives a more detailed explanation of census

coverage and methodology.

MERCHANDISE LINE SALES

This report represents a recompilation of establishment

and sales data collected in the 1992 Census of Retail

Trade according to various categories of merchandise

lines sold by retail establishments. Tables in this report

present data only for establishments with payroll. 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 retail census

tabulations.

Sales are presented in this report by broad merchandise

line category. In planning the merchandise line inquiries for

the 1992 Census of Retail Trade, the Bureau of the Census

consulted extensively with trade associations and businesses. The amount of detail requested in the census

primarily reflected considerations for reportability.

Forty-three broad merchandise lines were devised to

account for all the sales and receipts of retail establishments regardless of kind-of-business classification. These

lines are identified in the tables by merchandise line codes

ending in " 0." In addition to the 43 broad merchandise

lines, detail within some of these broad lines was requested

on many of the report forms. These detail lines are

identified in the tables by merchandise line codes ending

with a digit other than " 0." Unlike the broad lines, the detail

lines were adapted to the merchandise line characteristics

of an individual kind of business or a group of closely

related kinds of businesses. Thus, while it is possible to

compute a total for each of the broad merchandise lines to

cover all kinds of business, no such totals can be calculated for the detail lines.

Appendix I gives merchandise line descriptions, codes,

and the reporting-form number on which each line appears.

Appendix A presents more detailed information about the

statistics contained in this report.

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

This report presents data for the United States as a

whole. These data and comparable data for the following

areas are available on compact discs-read only memory

(CD-ROM):

1. Each State and the District of Columbia.

2. Each consolidated metropolitan statistical area

(CMSA) and primary metropolitan statistical area

(PMSA) defined by the Office of Management and

Budget (OMB) as of June 30, 1993. A CMSA is an

area used to facilitate the presentation and analysis of

data for large concentrations of metropolitan populations. It includes two or more contiguous PMSA’s

which have a population of at least 1,000,0002 and

which meet specific criteria of urban character and of

social and economic integration.

3. Each metropolitan statistical area (MSA) defined by

the OMB as of June 30, 1993. An MSA is an integrated

economic and social unit with a population nucleus of

at least 50,000 inhabitants.2 Each MSA consists of

one or more counties meeting standards of metropolitan character; in New England, cities and towns rather

than counties are the component geographic units.

4. The area within the State outside metropolitan areas

(MA’s).

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 merchandise 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

retail 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 merchandise 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 these

effects. For more detailed information on the sampling

procedure, estimation procedure, and sampling error that

apply to these data, see appendix A. Table 3 presents

information on merchandise 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 of 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 table 1

are not subject to sampling errors, but may be affected by

nonsampling errors. These data are the figures presented

for retail trade and for each kind-of-business category on

total number of establishments with payroll and total sales

for establishments with payroll. 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 Retail 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. Firms in the

1992 Census of Retail Trade were divided into the nonmail

universe and mail universe. The coverage and the method

of obtaining census information from each follow:

1. The nonmail universe consisted of firms which were

not required to file a regular census return and included:

a. All nonemployers, i.e., all firms with no paid employment during 1992. Sales information for these firms

was obtained from administrative records of other

Federal agencies. Although consisting of many

firms, nonemployers account for less than 5 percent of total retail sales.

The census included only those retail nonemployer firms which reported a sales volume of

$1,000 or more during 1992.

Data on nonemployers are provided in subsequent 1992 Census of Retail Trade reports; Nonemployer Statistics (RC92-N-1) and Selected Statistics (RC92-SP-1).

b. Selected small employers, i.e., single-establishment

firms with payroll below a specified cutoff. (The

term ‘‘employers’’ refers to all business firms with

one or more paid employees at any time during

1992 as shown in the active administrative records

of other Federal agencies.) Although the payroll

cutoff varied by kind of business, small employers

generally included firms with one to four employees

and represented about 10 percent of total retail

sales of establishments covered in the census.

Data on sales, payroll, and employment for employer

firms below the payroll cutoff were derived or

estimated from administrative records of other Federal agencies except for a sample of small employer

firms. This sample was included in the mail universe.

2. The mail universe consisted of firms for which information was obtained by means of a mail canvass and

included:

a. Large employers; i.e., all multiestablishment firms

and all employer firms above the payroll size cutoff

referred to in section 1b. Within this category, a

report of company organization was 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.

b. A sample of small employer firms referred to in

section 1b. These firms were sent the census

mailing packages containing the appropriate 1992

questionnaire. For the retail trade sector, the overall

sample of small employer firms was 20.6 percent

which varied by kind of business.

Method of classifying kinds of business. The retail

trade classifications for all establishments were based on

the Standard Industrial Classification Manual: 19871 (SIC).

However, the method of assigning these classifications,

and the level of detail at which establishments were

classified, differed between the nonmail and mail universe

as follows:

1. The nonmail universe.

a. Nonemployers were classified on the basis of information obtained from administrative records of other

Federal agencies.

b. Selected small employers were classified on the

basis of the most current census kind-of-business

classification available from one of the Census

Bureau’s current sample surveys or the 1987 census. Otherwise, the classification was obtained

from administrative records of other Federal agencies.

If the census or administrative record classifications proved inadequate (none corresponded to a

1992 census classification in the detail required for

employers), the firm was sent a brief inquiry requesting information necessary to assign a 1992 census

kind-of-business code.

2. Establishments in the mail universe were classified on

the basis of their self-designation, answers to questions on sales by merchandise line, and other special

inquiries.

COMPARABILITY OF THE 1987 AND 1992

CENSUSES

The 1987 and 1992 censuses were conducted under

similar conditions and procedures except for the following:

Geographic areas. The boundaries of a number of areas

for which data are shown in the 1992 census are not the

same as in the 1987 census because of annexations; other

boundary changes; and redefinitions of metropolitan statistical areas (MSA’s), primary metropolitan statistical areas

(PMSA’s), and consolidated metropolitan statistical areas

(CMSA’s).2 In addition, data for consolidated cities are

included in the 1992 census.

Data for special economic urban areas (SEUA’s) with

10,000 inhabitants or more in Michigan, Minnesota, New

York, and Wisconsin qualified for publication in the 1992

census. This included townships in Michigan and Minnesota and towns in New York and Wisconsin. However,

Minnesota did not have any townships that met the

publication criteria.

MERCHANDISE LINE SALES

Merchandise line inquiry composition. The merchandise line inquiries on 1992 retail questionnaires were

tailored to the kinds of business that would receive them.

That is, a broad merchandise line was listed on a particular

report form only if it accounted for at least 0.1 percent of

sales reported by the kind-of-business categories receiving that form in 1987.

Because a complete set of broad merchandise lines

was not present on any particular retail questionnaire,

respondents sometimes found that part of their sales did

not fit any available merchandise line category. When this

occurred, they were asked to report these sales on lines

for " all other merchandise" and to describe the kind of

merchandise represented. Census personnel subsequently

attempted to classify this merchandise based on the

respondent’s description and to assign the sales to the

appropriate merchandise line category. A small percentage of sales could not be classified and is therefore

summarized in this report in a category called " unclassified

merchandise."

The effect of excluding insignificant broad merchandise

lines on particular report forms is an understatement of the

number of establishments handling each merchandise line

and, to a lesser extent, the corresponding sales figure. The

magnitude of this understatement for all merchandise lines

combined is indicated, at least in part, by the data presented for the " unclassified merchandise" category.

Limitations in reporting sales by merchandise lines.

Respondents often failed to report sales for detail lines for

their particular business and only reported sales for broad

lines. This deficiency causes an understatement in the

number of outlets for detail merchandise lines and, to a

lesser extent, affects the measurement of the sales volume of detail lines.

Merchandise line categories by which individual retailers

group their sales are not uniform. These categories do not

always correspond to the categories established by the

census of retail trade for collecting and presenting merchandise line data. In addition, some retailers have little, if

any, recorded information on sales by line of merchandise.

A related reporting problem for retail firms is the absence

of merchandise line records on an individual establishment

basis. Some firms have information available only for the

group of stores within a warehouse district or some other

grouping used by the firm. In such cases, the firm may

estimate sales for individual stores by using the pattern of

sales shown by the entire group of stores. The effect of

individual reporting differences and the use of approximation is assumed to be negligible in summary tabulation.

Differences between 1987 and 1992 merchandise lines.

The 1987 census presented data for 41 broad merchandise lines. For 1992, these merchandise lines were restructured into 43 categories. The two new broad lines are:

1. Children’s wear (ML 240). Previously reported under

" Men’s and boys’ wear" (ML 200) and " Women’s,

girls’, infants’, and toddlers’ wear" (ML 220).

2. Books (ML420). Previously reported under " All other

merchandise" (ML 850).

Treatment of nonresponse. Reporting was incomplete

or inadequate for establishments representing about XX.X

percent of the total dollar volume of establishments with

payroll. However, merchandise line data were expanded to

estimate the sales of all retail establishments with payroll.

The expansion is based on the premise that the merchandise line data for those establishments not reporting this

information are similar to merchandise line data for those

establishments in the same kind of business that reported

this information. Merchandise line data were expanded at

the lowest published level of geography and kind-ofbusiness classification based on reported data at that

level. If there were no reported merchandise line data for a

particular combination of geographic area and kind of

business, expansion factors developed at the United States

level were used to produce an estimate. These estimates

for the most detailed level of geography and kind of

business were then summed to produce higher level

geography and kind-of-business estimates.

Newly defined metropolitan areas (MA’s) were announced by the

Office of Management and Budget (OMB) effective June 30, 1993.

Coverage. Table 3 presents coverage percents for each

kind of business shown. Coverage percents indicate the

degree to which establishments in each kind of business

acceptably reported sales for broad merchandise 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.

In addition, coverage percents are presented for selected

broad merchandise lines where additional detailed merchandise line information within the broad line was requested.

This data indicates the degree to which detail lines within

that broad line were acceptably reported. The table presents each broad line under which additional detail line

reporting was requested and shows the degree to which

businesses that reported the specified broad merchandise

line gave the additional detail breakdown. The coverage

percent was computed by dividing total sales of establishments reporting detail within the particular broad line by

the estimated sales of establishments reporting that broad

line within the particular kind of business.

Except when precluded by the census disclosure rules

(see Introduction), data are shown for individual kinds of

business when the dollar volume of reporting coverage

accounts for 60 percent or more of sales after weighting

merchandise line sales of the sample of " small employers"

described in the Census Coverage and Methodology section above.

Measures of sampling variability. Because the merchandise 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 the results of 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 that 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).

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 retail

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 retail trade report, Miscellaneous Subjects

(RC92-S-4). Each retail establishment was tabulated according to the physical location at which the business was

conducted. The count of establishments represents those

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.

RETAIL TRADE—SUBJECT SERIES APPENDIX A A–3
 JOBNAME: No Job Name PAGE: 4 SESS: 47 OUTPUT: Thu Jul 13 11:44:08 1995 / pssw02/ disk2/ economic/ rc92s/ 3/ 14apdxa

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.

Leased departments are treated as separate establishments and are classified according to the kind of business

they conduct. For example, a leased department selling

shoes within a department store would be considered

a separate retail establishment under the ‘‘shoe store’’

classification.

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

retail and wholesale by establishments primarily engaged

in retail trade; amounts received from customers for

layaway purchases; receipts from rental or leasing of

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

delivery, installation, maintenance, repair, alteration,

storage, and other services; the total value of service

contracts; and gasoline, liquor, tobacco, and other excise

taxes which are paid by the manufacturer or wholesaler

and passed on to the retailer.

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; commissions from vending machine

operators; sales and receipts of departments or concessions operated by other firms; commissions or receipts

from the sale of government lottery tickets; installment

payments from leasing of vehicles, equipment, instruments, tools, etc. marketed under capital, finance, or full

payout leases; and nonoperating income from such sources

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

Sales in this report do not include retail sales made by

manufacturers, wholesalers, service establishments, or

other businesses whose primary activity is other than retail

trade. They do include receipts other than from the sale of

merchandise at retail, e.g., service receipts, sales to industrial users, and sales to other retailers, by establishments

primarily engaged in retail trade.

Annual payroll. Payroll includes all forms of compensation such as salaries, wages, commissions, bonuses, vacation allowances, sick-leave pay, employee contributions to

qualified pension plans, and the value of payments in kind

(e.g., free meals and lodgings) paid during the year to all

employees. Tips and gratuities received by employees

from patrons and reported to employers are included. For

corporations, payroll includes amounts paid to officers and

executives; for unincorporated businesses, it does not

include profit or other compensation of proprietors or

partners. Payroll is reported before deductions for social

security, income tax, insurance, union dues, etc. This

definition of payroll is the same as that used by the Internal

Revenue Service (IRS) on form 941.

First-quarter payroll. This item consists of payroll, as

defined above, paid to persons employed at any time

during the quarter January to March 1992.

Paid employees for pay period including March 12.

Paid employees consist of the full- and part-time employees, including salaried officers and executives of corporations, who were on the payroll during the pay period

including March 12. Included are employees on paid sick

leave, paid holidays, and paid vacations; not included are

proprietors and partners of unincorporated businesses.

The definition of paid employees is the same as that used

on IRS form 941.

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

Retail trade, SIC major groups 52 through 59 in the SIC

manual, includes establishments primarily engaged in selling merchandise for personal or household consumption

and rendering services incidental to the sale of the goods.

Exceptions to this general rule are lumber yards; paint,

glass, and wallpaper stores; typewriter stores; stationery

stores; and gasoline service stations, which sell to both the

general public for personal and household consumption

and to businesses. These types of stores are included in

retail trade even if a higher proportion of their sales is

made to other than individuals for personal or household

consumption. However, such establishments that sell their

products only to institutional or industrial users and to other

wholesalers and establishments that sell similar merchandise for use exclusively by business establishments are

classified in wholesale trade.

Other important characteristics of retail trade establishments are that they are usually places of business; they

are engaged in activities to attract the general public to

A–4 APPENDIX A RETAIL TRADE—SUBJECT SERIES
 JOBNAME: No Job Name PAGE: 5 SESS: 47 OUTPUT: Thu Jul 13 11:44:08 1995 / pssw02/ disk2/ economic/ rc92s/ 3/ 14apdxa

buy; they buy or receive as well as sell merchandise; they

may process their products, although processing is incidental or subordinate to selling; and they are considered

as retail in the trade. Not all of these characteristics need

be present and some are modified by trade practice.

The retail trade industries were covered in the 1992

Economic and Agriculture Census. However, retail establishments of the following types were excluded from census coverage:

1. Federal, State, and local government agencies that

sold merchandise, other than liquor stores operated by

State and local governments

2. Officers’ clubs and officers’ open messes (classified

based on primary activity with a T/ O code of 90); and

public school lunch programs except those which

operated on a fee or contract basis (classified based

on primary activity with a T/ O code of 55)

The following types of retail establishments were covered in the census:

1. Appliance stores owned by public utilities if the establishments were primarily engaged in selling appliances

to customers

2. Liquor stores operated by State and local governments

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 business were identified

within a SIC industry.

In general, retail establishments were classified according to the principal lines of commodities sold (groceries,

hardware, etc.), or the usual trade designation (drug store,

cigar store, etc.).

Kind-of-business classifications are not interchangeable

with commodity classifications; most businesses sell several kinds of commodities. The kind-of-business code

generally reflects either the individual commodity or the

commodity group which is the primary source of the

establishment’s business. Thus, the classification of establishments by kind of business generally 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 food stores classification

excludes stores selling food if the sale of food is not the

primary source of receipts; moreover, even though stores

are classified as food stores, some of their receipts may be

derived from the sale of nonfood products. (Information on

the extent to which various broad groups of commodities

or merchandise lines are sold by different kinds of business is available in this report.)

Building Materials and Garden Supplies Stores

(SIC Major Group 52)

This major group includes retail establishments primarily

engaged in selling lumber and other building materials;

paint, glass, and wallpaper; hardware; nursery stock; lawn

and garden supplies; and manufactured (mobile) homes. It

includes lumber and other building materials dealers and

paint, glass, and wallpaper stores selling to the general

public, even if sales to contractors account for a larger

proportion of total sales; these establishments are known

as retail in the trade. Establishments primarily selling these

products but not selling to the general public are classified

in wholesale trade.

Lumber and other building materials dealers

(SIC 521). Establishments primarily engaged in selling

lumber, or lumber and a general line of building materials,

to the general public. While these establishments may also

sell to contractors, they are known as retail in the trade,

even if sales to contractors account for a higher proportion

of the sales. The lumber they sell may include rough and

dressed lumber, flooring, molding, doors, sashes, frames,

and other millwork. The building materials may include

roofing, siding, shingles, wallboard, paint, brick, tile, cement,

sand, gravel, and other building materials and supplies. For

lumber yards, at least 32 percent of sales must be from the

sale of lumber and millwork. Hardware is often an important line of retail lumber and building materials dealers.

Also included in this group are home centers. These are

retail establishments that sell both lumber and building

materials and hardware. Additionally, they must sell at

least 5 of the following merchandise lines: housewares,

tools (power and/ or hand), floor coverings, electrical supplies, kitchen cabinets, plumbing and bath supplies, lawn

and garden products, paints and/ or sundries, windows

and/ or doors, roofing, wallcoverings, ceiling products and

materials, lawn and garden supplies, and appliances.

Establishments not selling to the general public or known

in the trade as wholesale are classified in SIC 503.

Paint, glass, and wallpaper stores (SIC 523). Establishments primarily engaged in selling paint, glass, and wallpaper, or any combination of these lines, to the general

public. While these establishments may also sell to contractors, they are known as retail in the trade, even if sales

to contractors account for a higher proportion of the sales.

Establishments which do not sell to the general public are

classified in wholesale trade.

Hardware stores (SIC 525). Establishments primarily

engaged in selling a number of basic hardware lines, such

as tools, builders’ hardware, locks and other security

hardware, paint and glass, housewares, household appliances, cutlery, and building materials, no one of which

accounts for 50 percent or more of the sales of the

establishments.

Retail nurseries, lawn and garden supply stores

(SIC 526). Establishments primarily engaged in selling

trees, shrubs, other plants, seeds, bulbs, mulches, soil

conditioners, fertilizers, pesticides, garden tools, and other

garden supplies to the general public. These establishments primarily sell products purchased from others, but

may sell some plants which they grow themselves. Establishments primarily engaged in growing trees, shrubs, other

plants, seeds, and bulbs are classified in SIC major group

01, and those growing Christmas trees are classified in SIC

major group 08.

Manufactured (mobile) home dealers (SIC 527). Establishments primarily engaged in the retail sale of new and

used mobile homes, parts and equipment. Establishments

primarily selling travel trailers and campers are classified in

SIC 5561 and those primarily selling utility trailers are

classified in SIC 5599.

General Merchandise Stores

(SIC Major Group 53)

This major group includes retail stores which sell a

number of lines of merchandise, such as dry goods,

apparel and accessories, furniture and homefurnishings,

small wares, hardware, and food. The stores included in

this group are known as department stores, variety stores,

general merchandise stores, catalog showrooms, warehouse clubs, and general stores. Establishments primarily

engaged in selling used general merchandise are classified in SIC 593, and those selling general merchandise by

mail, vending machine, or direct selling are classified in SIC

596.

Department stores (SIC 531). Retail stores normally

having 50 employees or more, having sales of apparel and

soft goods combined amounting to 20 percent or more of

total sales, and selling each of the following groups of

merchandise:

1. Household linens, dry goods, furniture, homefurnishings, appliances, and radio and TV sets

2. A general line of apparel for the family

The employment and lines of merchandise sold in

leased departments are both taken into account when

classifying a department store.

To qualify as a department store, sales of each of the

lines listed above must be less than 80 percent of total

store sales. An establishment with total sales of $10 million

or more is classified as a department store even if sales of

one of the merchandise lines listed above exceed the

maximum percent of total sales, provided that the sales of

the other group is $1 million or more. Relatively few stores

are included in this classification as a result of this special

rule and most of those which are would otherwise have

been classified in the apparel group (SIC major group 56).

Due to the relatively high level of leased department

activity in department stores, department store sales have

been separately presented for the following classifications:

Department stores (including leased depts.)

Department stores (excluding leased depts.)

For States and for areas with 10,000 retail establishments or more, the following subcategories of department

stores also are presented:
