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.

 JOBNAME: No Job Name PAGE: 2 SESS: 43 OUTPUT: Mon May 2 13:35:18 1994 / pssw01/ disk2/ economic/ wc92a/ 0/ 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.

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 series presents data for the following areas:

1. The United States as a whole.

2. Each State and the District of Columbia

3. 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.

4. 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.

5. The area within the State outside metropolitan areas

(MA’s).

6. Each county or county equivalent.3 Counties are the

primary divisions of States, except in Louisiana where

they are called parishes and in Alaska where they are

called boroughs and census areas. Maryland, Missouri, Nevada, and Virginia have one place or more

that is independent of any county organization and

constitutues primary divisions of their States. These

places are treated as counties and as places.

7. Each consolidated city.3 Consolidated cities are consolidated governments which consists of separately

incorporated municipalities.

8. Each municipality of 2,500 inhabitants or more incorporated as a city, borough, village, or town.2 3

For the economic census, boroughs and census areas

in Alaska, and boroughs in New York, are not included

in this category.

9. Special economic urban areas (SEUA’s), which include

townships in Michigan, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania

and towns in New York, Wisconsin, and the six New

England States with 10,000 inhabitants or more.4

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

All data compiled in this report originated from either

census questionnaires or administrative records of other

Federal agencies and, therefore, are not subject to sampling errors. However, the data are subject to nonsampling

errors. Nonsampling errors can be attributed to many

sources: inability to identify all cases in the actual universe;

definition and classification difficulties; differences in the

interpretation of questions; errors in recording or coding

the data obtained; and other errors of collection, response,

coverage, and estimation for missing or misreported data.

The accuracy of these tabulated data is determined by

the joint effects of the various nonsampling errors. No

direct measurement of these effects has been obtained

except for estimation for missing or misreported data;

however, precautionary steps were taken in all phases of

the collection, processing, and tabulation of the data in an

effort to minimize the effects of nonsampling errors.

The Census Bureau obtains on computer tape limited

information extracted from administrative records of other

Federal agencies. This information is used in conjunction

with other information available to the Census Bureau to

develop estimates for nonemployers, small employers,

and other establishments for which responses were not

received in time for publication. For an indication of the

extent that data included in these reports were obtained

from the administrative records of other Federal agencies

and from estimation, rather than reports directly from

respondents, see appendix E. Also, see appendix A for a

more detailed explanation of census coverage and methodology.

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.

Summary of Findings

Arkansas had 4,296 wholesale establishments in 1992

with $18.1 billion in sales. This represents a 6.8 percent

increase in wholesale establishments and a 41.4 percent

increase in sales over 1987 according to the 1992 Census

of Wholesale Trade conducted by the Bureau of the

Census, U.S. Department of Commerce.

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

(SIC) Manual.1 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).

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.

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

1

Standard Industrial Classification Manual: 1987. For sale by Superintendent of Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington,

DC 20402. Stock No. 041-001-00314-2. 2

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

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

WHOLESALE TRADE—GEOGRAPHIC AREA SERIES APPENDIX A A-1
 JOBNAME: No Job Name PAGE: 2 SESS: 12 OUTPUT: Thu Jun 23 15:11:28 1994 / pssw01/ disk2/ economic/ wc92a/ 0/ 14apdxa

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.

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. 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 on

Internal Revenue Service (IRS) 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.

1992 and 1991 inventories. Inventories consist of stocks

of merchandise for sale at the end of 1992 and 1991. They

were reported on an ownership basis; all merchandise

owned by reporting establishments is included, even though

some may be held by others for sale on consignment.

Goods held by the reporting establishment, but owned

by others, are not included. Data for 1992 and 1991

inventories LIFO composition are published in the 1992

Census of Wholesale Trade report, Miscellaneous Subjects (WC92-S-4).

Operating expenses. Operating expenses include payroll

as well as overhead expenses of the establishment. They

do not include the cost of goods sold; income or excise

taxes; or withdrawals by proprietors or partners of unincorporated businesses.

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.

A-2 APPENDIX A WHOLESALE TRADE—GEOGRAPHIC AREA SERIES
 JOBNAME: No Job Name PAGE: 3 SESS: 12 OUTPUT: Thu Jun 23 15:11:28 1994 / pssw01/ disk2/ economic/ wc92a/ 0/ 14apdxa

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-business 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:

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.
