U.S. Census Bureau, 2002 Economic Census
Introduction to the Economic Census

PURPOSES AND USES OF THE ECONOMIC CENSUS

The economic census is the major source of facts about the structure and functioning of the

nation’s economy. It provides essential information for government, business, industry, and the

general public. Title 13 of the United States Code (Sections 131, 191, and 224) directs the Census

Bureau to take the economic census every 5 years, covering years ending in “2” and “7.”

The economic census furnishes an important part of the framework for such composite measures

as the gross domestic product estimates, input/output measures, production and price indexes,

and other statistical series that measure short-term changes in economic conditions. Specific uses

of economic census data include the following:

• Policymaking agencies of the federal government use the data to monitor economic activity and

to assess the effectiveness of policies.

• State and local governments use the data to assess business activities and tax bases within

their jurisdictions and to develop programs to attract business.

• Trade associations study trends in their own and competing industries, which allows them to

keep their members informed of market changes.

• Individual businesses use the data to locate potential markets and to analyze their own production and sales performance relative to industry or area averages.

INDUSTRY CLASSIFICATIONS

Data from the 2002 Economic Census are published primarily according to the 2002 North American Industry Classification System (NAICS). NAICS was first adopted in the United States, Canada,

and Mexico in 1997. The 2002 Economic Census covers the following NAICS sectors:

21 Mining

22 Utilities

23 Construction

31-33 Manufacturing

42 Wholesale Trade

44-45 Retail Trade

48-49 Transportation and Warehousing

51 Information

52 Finance and Insurance

53 Real Estate and Rental and Leasing

54 Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services

55 Management of Companies and Enterprises

56 Administrative and Support and Waste Management and Remediation Services

61 Educational Services

62 Health Care and Social Assistance

71 Arts, Entertainment, and Recreation

72 Accommodation and Food Services

81 Other Services (except Public Administration)

(Not listed above are the Agriculture, Forestry, Fishing, and Hunting sector (NAICS 11), partially

covered by the census of agriculture conducted by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, and the

Public Administration sector (NAICS 92), largely covered by the census of governments conducted

by the Census Bureau.)

The 20 NAICS sectors are subdivided into 100 subsectors (three-digit codes), 317 industry groups

(four-digit codes), and, as implemented in the United States, 1,179 industries (six-digit codes).

2002 Economic Census Introduction v

U.S. Census Bureau, 2002 Economic Census
RELATIONSHIP TO HISTORICAL INDUSTRY CLASSIFICATIONS

Prior to the 1997 Economic Census, data were published according to the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) system. While many of the individual NAICS industries correspond directly to industries as defined under the SIC system, most of the higher level groupings do not. Particular care

should be taken in comparing data for retail trade, wholesale trade, and manufacturing, which are

sector titles used in both NAICS and SIC, but cover somewhat different groups of industries. The

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

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

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

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

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

of revisions for the retail trade and information sectors. These changes are noted in industry definitions and will be demonstrated in the Bridge Between NAICS 2002 and NAICS 1997.

For 2002, data for enterprise support establishments (those functioning primarily to support the

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

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

totals.

BASIS OF REPORTING

The economic census is conducted on an establishment basis. A company operating at more than

one location is required to file a separate report for each store, factory, shop, or other location.

Each establishment is assigned a separate industry classification based on its primary activity and

not that of its parent company. (For selected industries, only payroll, employment, and classification are collected for individual establishments, while other data are collected on a consolidated

basis.)

GEOGRAPHIC AREA CODING

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

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

corporate municipalities (places) including cities, towns, townships, villages, and boroughs.

Respondents were required to report their physical location (street address, municipality, county,

and state) if it differed from their mailing address. For establishments not surveyed by mail (and

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

location), location information from administrative sources is used as a basis for coding.

AVAILABILITY OF ADDITIONAL DATA

All results of the 2002 Economic Census are available on the Census Bureau Internet site

(www.census.gov) and on digital versatile discs (DVD-ROMs) for sale by the Census Bureau. The

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

data. For more information, including a description of reports being issued, see the Internet site,

write to the U.S. Census Bureau, Washington, DC 20233-6100, or call Customer Services at 301-

763-4100.

HISTORICAL INFORMATION

The economic census has been taken as an integrated program at 5-year intervals since 1967 and

before that for 1954, 1958, and 1963. Prior to that time, individual components of the economic

census were taken separately at varying intervals.

The economic census traces its beginnings to the 1810 Decennial Census, when questions on

manufacturing were included with those for population. Coverage of economic activities was

expanded for the 1840 Decennial Census and subsequent censuses to include mining and some

commercial activities. The 1905 Manufactures Census was the first time a census was taken apart

vi Introduction 2002 Economic Census

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

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

construction, manufacturing, and the other business censuses were suspended during World War

II.

The 1954 Economic Census was the first census to be fully integrated, providing comparable census data across economic sectors and using consistent time periods, concepts, definitions, classifications, and reporting units. It was the first census to be taken by mail, using lists of firms provided by the administrative records of other federal agencies. Since 1963, administrative records

also have been used to provide basic statistics for very small firms, reducing or eliminating the

need to send them census report forms.

The range of industries covered in the economic census expanded between 1967 and 2002. The

census of construction industries began on a regular basis in 1967, and the scope of service

industries, introduced in 1933, was broadened in 1967, 1977, and 1987. While a few transportation industries were covered as early as 1963, it was not until 1992 that the census broadened to

include all of transportation, communications, and utilities. Also new for 1992 was coverage of

financial, insurance, and real estate industries. With these additions, the economic census and the

separate census of governments and census of agriculture collectively covered roughly 98 percent

of all economic activity. New for 2002 is coverage of four industries classified in the agriculture,

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

services, veterinary services, and pet care services.

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

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

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

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

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

only on CD-ROM.

U.S. Census Bureau, 2002 Economic Census
Wholesale Trade

SCOPE

The Wholesale Trade sector (sector 42) comprises establishments engaged in wholesaling merchandise, generally without transformation, and rendering services incidental to the sale of merchandise.

The wholesaling process is an intermediate step in the distribution of merchandise. Wholesalers

are organized to sell or arrange the purchase or sale of:

1. goods for resale (i.e., goods sold to other wholesalers or retailers),

2. capital or durable nonconsumer goods, or

3. raw and intermediate materials and supplies used in production.

Wholesalers sell merchandise to other businesses and normally operate from a warehouse or

office. These warehouses and offices are characterized by having little or no display of merchandise. In addition, neither the design nor the location of the premises is intended to solicit walk-in

traffic. Wholesalers do not normally use advertising directed to the general public. Customers are

generally reached initially via telephone, in-person marketing, or by specialized advertising that

may include Internet or other electronic means. Follow-up orders are either vendor-initiated or

client-initiated, generally based on previous sales, and typically exhibit strong ties between sellers

and buyers. In fact, transactions are often conducted between wholesalers and clients that have

long-standing business relationships.

This sector comprises two main types of wholesalers: merchant wholesalers that sell goods on

their own account and business to business electronic markets, and agents and brokers that

arrange sales and purchases for others generally for a commission or fee.

1. Establishments that sell goods on their own account are known as wholesale merchants, distributors, jobbers, drop shippers, and import/export merchants. Also included as wholesale

merchants are sales offices and sales branches (but not retail stores) maintained by manufacturing, refining, or mining enterprises apart from their plants or mines for the purpose of marketing their products. Merchant wholesale establishments typically maintain their own warehouse, where they receive and handle goods for their customers. Goods are generally sold

without transformation, but may include integral functions, such as sorting, packaging, labeling, and other marketing services.

2. Establishments arranging for the purchase or sale of goods owned by others or purchasing

goods, generally on a commission basis, are known as business to business electronic markets, agents and brokers, commission merchants, import/export agents and brokers, auction

companies, and manufacturers’ representatives. These establishments operate from offices

and generally do not own or handle the goods they sell.

Some wholesale establishments may be connected with a single manufacturer and promote and

sell the particular manufacturer’s products to a wide range of other wholesalers or retailers. Other

wholesalers may be connected to a retail chain, or a limited number of retail chains, and provide a

variety of products needed by the retail operation(s). These wholesalers may obtain the products

from a wide range of manufacturers. Still other wholesalers may not take title to the goods, but

act as agents and brokers for a commission.

Although wholesaling normally denotes sales in large volumes, durable nonconsumer goods may

be sold in single units. Sales of capital or durable nonconsumer goods used in the production of

goods and services, such as farm machinery, medium and heavy duty trucks, and industrial

machinery, are always included in wholesale trade.

U.S. Census Bureau, 2002 Economic Census
Exclusions. Excluded from this sector are governmental organizations classified in the covered

industries except for liquor wholesalers operated by state and local governments.

The tabulations for this sector do not include central administrative offices or other establishments that serve wholesale establishments within the same organization. Data for such establishments are classified according to the nature of the service they provide. For example, separate

headquarters establishments are reported in NAICS sector 55, Management of Companies and

Enterprises.

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

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

they have not chosen to incorporate, are reported separately in the Nonemployer Statistics report.

The contribution of nonemployers may be examined at www.census.gov/nonemployerimpact.

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

REPORTS

The following reports provide statistics on this sector.

Industry Series. There are 19 reports, each covering a group of related industries. The reports

present, by kind of business for the United States, general statistics for establishments of firms

with payroll on number of establishments, sales, payroll, and employment; comparative statistics

for 2002 and 1997; product lines; and concentration of business activity in the largest firms. The

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

Geographic Area Series. There is a separate report for each state, the District of Columbia, and

the United States. Each state report presents, for establishments of firms with payroll, general statistics on number of establishments, sales, payroll, employment, operating expenses, and inventory by kind of business for the state, metropolitan and micropolitan statistical areas, counties,

and places with 2,500 inhabitants or more. Greater kind-of-business detail is shown for larger

areas. The United States report presents data for the United States as a whole for detailed kind-ofbusiness classifications.

Subject Series:

• Product Lines. This report presents sources of sales data for establishments of firms with payroll by kind of business. Data are presented for the United States and states.

• Establishment and Firm Size (Including Legal Form of Organization). This report presents sales, payroll, and employment data for the United States by sales size, by employment

size, and by legal form of organization for establishments of firms with payroll; and by sales

size (including concentration by largest firms), by employment size, and by number of establishments operated (single units and multiunits) for firms with payroll.

• Miscellaneous Subjects. This report presents data for a variety of industry-specific questions

for establishments of firms with payroll. Presentation of data varies by kind of business.

Other reports. Data for this sector are also included in reports with multisector coverage,

including Nonemployer Statistics, Comparative Statistics, Bridge Between 2002 NAICS and 1997

NAICS, Business Expenses, and the Survey of Business Owners reports.

GEOGRAPHIC AREAS COVERED

The level of geographic detail varies by report. Maps are available at

www.census.gov/econ2002maps. Notes specific to areas in the state are included in Appendix D,

Geographic Notes. Data may be presented for:

1. The United States as a whole.

2. States and the District of Columbia.

x Wholesale Trade 2002 Economic Census

U.S. Census Bureau, 2002 Economic Census
3. Metropolitan and micropolitan statistical areas. A core based statistical area (CBSA) contains a

core area with a substantial population nucleus, together with adjacent communities having a

high degree of social and economic integration with that core. CBSAs are differentiated into

metropolitan and micropolitan statistical areas based on size criteria. Both metropolitan and

micropolitan statistical areas are defined in terms of entire counties, and are listed in Appendix E, Metropolitan and Micropolitan Statistical Areas.

a. Metropolitan Statistical Areas (metro areas). Metro areas have at least one urbanized area of

50,000 or more population, plus adjacent territory that has a high degree of social and economic integration with the core as measured by commuting ties.

b. Micropolitan Statistical Areas (micro areas). Micro areas have at least one urban cluster of

at least 10,000 but less than 50,000 population, plus adjacent territory that has a high

degree of social and economic integration with the core as measured by commuting ties.

c. Metropolitan Divisions (metro divisions). If specified criteria are met, a metro area containing a single core with a population of 2.5 million or more may be subdivided to form

smaller groupings of counties referred to as Metropolitan Divisions.

d. Combined Statistical Areas (combined areas). If specified criteria are met, adjacent metro

and micro areas, in various combinations, may become the components of a new set of

areas called Combined Statistical Areas. The areas that combine retain their own designations as metro or micro areas within the larger combined area.

4. Counties and county equivalents defined as of January 1, 2002. Counties are the primary divisions of states, except in Louisiana where they are called parishes and in Alaska where they

are called boroughs, census areas, and city and boroughs. Maryland, Missouri, Nevada, and

Virginia have one place or more that is independent of any county organization and constitutes primary divisions of their states. These places are treated as counties and as places.

5. Economic places.

a. Municipalities of 2,500 inhabitants or more defined as of January 1, 2002. These are areas

of significant population incorporated as cities, boroughs, villages, or towns according to

the 2000 Census of Population. For the economic census, boroughs, census areas, and city

and boroughs in Alaska and boroughs in New York are not included in this category.

b. Consolidated cities defined as of January 1, 2002. Consolidated cities are consolidated governments that consist of separately incorporated municipalities.

c. 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 (according to the 2000

Census of Population).

d. Balance of county. Areas outside the entities listed above, including incorporated municipalities with populations of fewer than 2,500, towns and townships not qualifying as

noted above, and the remainders of counties outside places are categorized as “Balance of

county.”

DOLLAR VALUES

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

dollars, and 1997 data, in 1997 dollars. Consequently, when making comparisons with prior

years, users of the data should consider the changes in prices that have occurred.

All dollar values are shown in thousands of dollars.

COMPARABILITY OF THE 1997 AND 2002 ECONOMIC CENSUSES

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

American Industry Classification System (NAICS). Under the 1997 NAICS, Wholesale Trade was

comprised of two subsectors: 421, Wholesale Trade, Durable Goods, and 422, Wholesale Trade,

2002 Economic Census Wholesale Trade xi

U.S. Census Bureau, 2002 Economic Census
Nondurable Goods. In addition, the U.S. Census Bureau presented data in the Wholesale Trade sector by three type-of-operation categories: 1) Merchant wholesalers, 2) Manufacturers’ sales

branches and offices, and 3) Agents, brokers, and commission merchants.

Under the 2002 NAICS, to recognize production differences in some types of operation, the Wholesale Trade sector was reorganized into three subsectors: 423, Merchant Wholesalers, Durable

Goods; 424, Merchant Wholesalers, Nondurable Goods; and 425, Wholesale Electronic Markets and

Agents and Brokers. The 2002 NAICS industry definitions for Merchant Wholesalers in subsectors

423 and 424 include type-of-operation categories for manufacturers’ sales branches and offices,

as well as the 1997 Census Bureau-defined merchant wholesalers. Agents and brokers are defined

as a separate NAICS industry in subsector 425 and are no longer included in the type-of-operation

structure. For 2002, data are presented by two type-of-operation categories: 1) Merchant wholesalers, except manufacturers’ sales branches and offices, and 2) Manufacturers’ sales branches

and offices. For more details, see Types of Operation in Appendix A.

RELIABILITY OF DATA

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

attributed to many sources: inability to identify all cases in the actual universe; definition and

classification difficulties; differences in the interpretation of questions; errors in recording or coding the data obtained; and other errors of collection, response, coverage, processing, and estimation for missing or misreported data. Data presented in the Miscellaneous Subjects and Product

Lines reports for this sector are subject to sampling errors, as well as nonsampling errors.

The accuracy of these tabulated data is determined by the joint effects of the various nonsampling errors or by the joint effects of sampling and nonsampling errors. No direct measurement of

these effects has been obtained except for estimation for missing or misreported data, as by the

percentages shown in the tables. Precautionary steps were taken in all phases of the collection,

processing, and tabulation of the data in an effort to minimize the effects of nonsampling errors.

More information on the reliability of the data is included in Appendix C, Methodology.

DISCLOSURE

In accordance with federal law governing census reports (Title 13 of the United States Code), no

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

Techniques employed to limit disclosure are discussed at

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

AVAILABILITY OF MORE FREQUENT ECONOMIC DATA

The County Business Patterns program offers annual statistics on the number of establishments,

employment, and payroll classified by industry within each county, and Statistics of U.S. Businesses provides annual statistics classified by the employment size of the enterprise, further classified by industry for the United States, and by broader categories for states and metropolitan

areas.

Explanation of Terms

ANNUAL PAYROLL

Payroll includes all forms of compensation, such as salaries, wages, commissions, dismissal pay,

bonuses, vacation allowances, sick-leave pay, and employee contributions to qualified pension

plans paid during the year to all employees and reported on Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Form

941 as taxable Medicare Wages and tips (even if not subject to income or FICA tax). Includes tips

and gratuities received by employees from patrons and reported to employers. Excludes payrolls

of departments or concessions operated by other companies at the establishment. 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 IRS on Form 941.

BEGINNING-OF-YEAR INVENTORIES

The total value of merchandise inventories an establishment owned on December 31, 2001.

Inventories must be located in the United States and its possessions, including Foreign Trade

Zones in the United States, even if portions of these inventories were held at other locations.

Excludes the value of inventories held by this establishment but owned by others.

END-OF-YEAR INVENTORIES

The total value of merchandise inventories owned on December 31, 2002. Inventories must be

located in the United States and its possessions, including Foreign Trade Zones in the United

States, even if portions of these inventories were held at other locations. Excludes the value of

inventories held by this establishment but owned by others.

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. 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. Each wholesale trade 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 2002.

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,

separate establishment reports for each of the different activities were obtained in the census.

FIRST-QUARTER PAYROLL

Represents payroll paid to persons employed at any time during the quarter January to March

2002.

Wholesale Trade Appendix A A–1

U.S. Census Bureau, 2002 Economic Census
OPERATING EXPENSES

Includes payroll, employee benefits, interest and rent expenses, payroll taxes, cost of supplies

used for operation, depreciation expenses, fundraising expenses, contracted or purchased services, and other expenses charged to operations during 2002. Expenses exclude cost of goods

sold, income taxes, and interest for wholesale establishments; outlays for the purchase of real

estate; construction and all other capital improvements; funds invested; assessments or dues paid

to the parent or other chapters of the same organization; and, for fundraising organizations,

funds transferred to charities and other organizations.

PAID EMPLOYEES FOR PAY PERIOD INCLUDING MARCH 12

Paid employees consist of 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; full- and part-time leased employees whose payroll was

filed under an employee leasing company’s Employer Identification Number (EIN); and temporary

staffing obtained from a staffing service. The definition of paid employees is the same as that

used by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) on Form 941.

PERCENT OF SALES FROM ADMINISTRATIVE RECORDS

Percent of total sales obtained from administrative records of other federal agencies.

PERCENT OF SALES ESTIMATED

Percent of total sales that was imputed based on historic company ratios or administrative

records, or on industry averages.

SALES

Includes merchandise sold for cash or credit by establishments primarily engaged in wholesale

trade; receipts from rental of vehicles, equipment, instruments, tools, etc.; receipts for delivery,

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

and other excise taxes that are paid by the manufacturer and passed on to the wholesaler; and

shipping and handling receipts.

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

Trade-in allowances are not deducted from sales. Sales do not include carrying or other credit

charges; sales and other taxes (including Hawaii’s General Excise Tax) collected from customers

and forwarded to taxing authorities; and nonoperating income from such sources as investments,

rental or sales of real estate, and interest.

Sales 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.

TYPES OF OPERATION

In addition to being classified by kind of business, merchant wholesale establishments are also

classified by type of operation according to the ownership of the business and character of the

transactions. Merchant wholesale establishments are grouped into the following two major types

of operation and related subgroups:

Merchant wholesalers, except manufacturers’ sales branches and offices. Establishments

primarily engaged in buying and selling merchandise on their own account. Included here are

such types of establishments as wholesale distributors and jobbers, importers, exporters, ownbrand importers/marketers, terminal and country grain elevators, and farm products assemblers.

A–2 Appendix A Wholesale Trade

U.S. Census Bureau, 2002 Economic Census
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.

Own-brand importers/marketers. Companies or establishments that deal primarily or exclusively in the parent company’s own branded products manufactured outside the United

States. The products are either imported into the United States and then sold or they are sold

and then drop-shipped directly from a foreign location to the United States customer.

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 primarily maintained by manufacturing, refining, and mining companies apart from their plants or mines for marketing their products at wholesale. Sales branches and offices located at plants or administrative offices are classified as manufacturers’ sales branches or offices, if separate records are available.

Manufacturers’ sales branches. Branches 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. Offices without a stock of merchandise for sale.

NAICS Codes, Titles, and Descriptions

42 WHOLESALE TRADE

The Wholesale Trade sector comprises establishments engaged in wholesaling merchandise, generally without transformation, and rendering services incidental to the sale of merchandise.

The wholesaling process is an intermediate step in the distribution of merchandise. Wholesalers

are organized to sell or arrange the purchase or sale of –

1. goods for resale (i.e., goods sold to other wholesalers or retailers),

2. capital or durable nonconsumer goods, or

3. raw and intermediate materials and supplies used in production.

Wholesalers sell merchandise to other businesses and normally operate from a warehouse or

office. These warehouses and offices are characterized by having little or no display of merchandise. In addition, neither the design nor the location of the premises is intended to solicit walk-in

traffic. Wholesalers do not normally use advertising directed to the general public. Customers are

generally reached initially via telephone, in-person marketing, or by specialized advertising that

may include Internet and other electronic means. Follow-up orders are either vendor-initiated or

client-initiated, generally based on previous sales, and typically exhibit strong ties between sellers

and buyers. In fact, transactions are often conducted between wholesalers and clients that have

long-standing business relationships.

This sector comprises two main types of wholesalers: those that sell goods on their own account

and those that arrange sales and purchases for others generally for a commission or fee.

1. Establishments that sell goods on their own account are known as wholesale merchants, distributors, jobbers, drop shippers, and import/export merchants. Also included as wholesale

merchants are sales offices and sales branches (but not retail stores) maintained by manufacturing, refining, or mining enterprises apart from their plants or mines for the purpose of marketing their products. Merchant wholesale establishments typically maintain their own warehouse, where they receive and handle goods for their customers. Goods are generally sold

without transformation, but may include integral functions, such as sorting, packaging, labeling, and other marketing services.

2. Establishments arranging for the purchase or sale of goods owned by others or purchasing

goods, generally on a commission basis, are known as business-to-business electronic markets, agents and brokers, commission merchants, import/export agents and brokers, auction

companies, and manufacturers’ representatives. These establishments operate from offices

and generally do not own or handle the goods they sell.

Some wholesale establishments may be connected with a single manufacturer and promote and

sell the particular manufacturers’ products to a wide range of other wholesalers or retailers. Other

wholesalers may be connected to a retail chain or a limited number of retail chains and only provide a variety of products needed by the retail operation(s). These wholesalers may obtain the

products from a wide range of manufacturers. Still other wholesalers may not take title to the

goods, but act as agents and brokers for a commission.

Although wholesaling normally denotes sales in large volumes, durable nonconsumer goods may

be sold in single units. Sales of capital or durable nonconsumer goods used in the production of

goods and services, such as farm machinery, medium and heavy duty trucks, and industrial

machinery, are always included in wholesale trade.

Wholesale Trade Appendix B B–1

U.S. Census Bureau, 2002 Economic Census
423 DURABLE GOODS MERCHANT WHOLESALERS

Industries in the Durable Goods Merchant Wholesalers subsector sell capital or durable goods to

other businesses. Merchant wholesalers generally take title to the goods that they sell; in other

words, they buy and sell goods on their own account. Durable goods are new or used items generally with a normal life expectancy of three years or more. Durable goods merchant wholesale

trade establishments are engaged in wholesaling products, such as motor vehicles, furniture, construction materials, machinery and equipment (including household-type appliances), metals and

minerals (except petroleum), sporting goods, toys and hobby goods, recyclable materials, and

parts.

Methodology

SOURCES OF THE DATA

For this sector, essentially all firms were sent report forms to be completed for each of their establishments and returned to the Census Bureau. For some very small firms, data from existing

administrative records of other federal agencies were used instead. These records provide basic

information on location, kind of business, sales, payroll, number of employees, and legal form of

organization.

Firms in the 2002 Economic Census are divided into those sent report forms and those not sent

report forms. The coverage of and the method of obtaining census information from each are

described below:

1. Establishments sent a report form:

a. Large employers, i.e., all multiestablishment firms, and all employer firms with payroll

above a specified cutoff. (The term ’’employers’’ refers to firms with one or more paid

employees at any time during 2002 as shown in the active administrative records of other

federal agencies.)

b. A sample of small employers, i.e., single-establishment firms with payroll below a specified

cutoff in classifications for which specialized data precludes reliance solely on administrative records sources. The sample was stratified by industry and geography.

2. Establishments not sent a report form:

a. Small employers, i.e., single-establishment firms with payroll below a specified cutoff, not

selected into the small employer sample. Although the payroll cutoff varies by kind of business, small employers not sent a report form generally include firms with less than 10

employees and represent about 10 percent of total sales of establishments covered in the

census. Data on sales, payroll, and employment for these small employers were derived or

estimated from administrative records of other federal agencies.

b. All nonemployers, i.e., all firms subject to federal income tax with no paid employees during 2002. Sales or receipts information for these firms was obtained from administrative

records of other federal agencies. Although consisting of many firms, nonemployers

account for less than 10 percent of total sales or receipts of all establishments covered in

the census. Data for nonemployers are not included in this report, but are released in the

annual Nonemployer Statistics series.

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

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

A more detailed examination of census methodology is presented in the History of the Economic

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

INDUSTRY CLASSIFICATION OF ESTABLISHMENTS

The classifications for all establishments are based on the North American Industry Classification

System, United States, 2002 manual. Changes between 1997 and 2002 affecting this sector are

discussed in the text at the beginning of this report. Tables at www.census.gov/epcd/naics02/

identify those industries that changed between the 1997 North American Industry Classification

System (NAICS) and 2002 NAICS.

Wholesale Trade Appendix C C–1

U.S. Census Bureau, 2002 Economic Census
The method of assigning classifications and the level of detail at which establishments were classified depends on whether a report form was obtained for the establishment.

1. Establishments that returned a report form were classified on the basis of their selfdesignation, sales of product lines, and responses to other industry-specific inquiries.

2. Establishments without a report form:

a. Small employers not sent a form were, where possible, classified on the basis of the most

current kind-of-business classification available from one of the Census Bureau’s current

sample surveys or the 1997 Economic 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 2002 Economic Census

classification in the detail required for employers), the firm was sent a brief inquiry

requesting information necessary to assign a kind-of-business code.

b. Nonemployers were classified on the basis of information obtained from administrative

records of other federal agencies.

RELIABILITY OF DATA

All data compiled in the economic census are subject to nonsampling errors. Nonsampling errors

can be attributed to many sources during the development or execution of the census:

• 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.

Data presented in the Miscellaneous Subjects and the Product Lines reports for this sector are subject to sampling errors, as well as nonsampling errors. Specifically, these data are estimated based

on information obtained from census report forms mailed to all large employers and to a sample

of small employers in the universe. Sampling errors affect these estimates, insofar, as they may

differ from results that would be obtained from a complete enumeration.

The accuracy of these tabulated data is determined by the joint effects of the various nonsampling errors or by the joint effects of sampling and 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 limited information extracted from administrative records of other federal agencies, such as gross receipts from federal income tax records and employment and payroll

from payroll tax records. 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.

Key tables in this report include a column for “Percent of sales from administrative records.” This

includes sales information obtained from administrative records of other federal agencies. The

“Percent of sales estimated” includes sales information that was imputed based on historic company ratios or administrative records, or on industry averages.

The Census Bureau recommends that data users incorporate this information into their analyses,

as nonsampling error and sampling error could impact the conclusions drawn from economic census data.

C–2 Appendix C Wholesale Trade

U.S. Census Bureau, 2002 Economic Census
TREATMENT OF NONRESPONSE

Census report forms included two different types of inquiries, “basic” and “industry-specific.” Data

for the basic inquiries, which include location, kind of business or operation, sales, payroll, and

number of employees, were available from a combination of sources for all establishments. Data

for industry-specific inquiries, tailored to the particular kinds of business or operation covered by

the report, were available only from those establishments sent a report form that completed the

appropriate inquiries.

Data for industry-specific inquiries in this sector were expanded in most cases to account for

establishments that did not respond to the particular inquiry for which data are presented. Unless

otherwise noted in specific reports, data for industry-specific inquiries were expanded in direct

relationship to total sales of all establishments included in the category. In a few cases, expansion

on the basis of the sales item was not appropriate, and another basic data item was used as the

basis for expansion of reported data to account for nonrespondents.

All reports in which industry-specific data were expanded include a coverage indicator for each

publication category, which shows the sales of establishments responding to the industry-specific

inquiry as a percent of total sales for all establishments for which data are shown. For some

inquiries, coverage is determined by the ratio of total payroll or employment of establishments

responding to the inquiry to total payroll or employment of all establishments in the category.

CONCENTRATION CATEGORIES

Concentration categories are based on aggregate sales of all establishments operated by the same

firm in a given kind-of-business classification or group for which data are presented. For example,

a firm operating three wholesale establishments – a hardware merchant wholesaler (NAICS

42371), a plumbing equipment merchant wholesaler (NAICS 42372), and an electrical appliance

merchant wholesaler (NAICS 42362) – would be treated as three one-establishment firms at the

most detailed NAICS level, as a two-establishment firm in NAICS 4237 and a one-establishment

firm in NAICS 4236, and as a single three-establishment firm in wholesale trade totals.

DISCLOSURE

In accordance with federal law governing census reports (Title 13 of the United States Code), no

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

Techniques employed to limit disclosure are discussed at

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