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:

x Census of Retail Trade

x Census of Wholesale Trade

x Census of Service Industries

x Census of Financial, Insurance, and Real Estate

Industries

x Census of Transportation, Communications, and Utilities

x Census of Manufactures

x Census of Mineral Industries

x 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, financial, 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.

The economic census traces its beginnings to the 1810

Decennial Census, when questions on manufacturing were

included with those for population. Coverage of economic

MANUFACTURES—SUBJECT SERIES INTRODUCTION III
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.

Manufacturers’ Shipments to Federal Government Agencies

SUMMARY OF SURVEY RESULTS

The total value of shipments by private manufacturing

firms in 108 selected Federal Government oriented industries was estimated at $1,447.4 billion in 1992, of which

$143.9 billion or 10 percent was accounted for by shipments to the Federal Government. The Federal agency

with the largest dollar volume of procurement during 1992

was the Department of Defense (DOD) with $114.3 billion,

followed by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) with $6.8 billion and the Department of

Energy (DOE) with $2.9 billion. The ‘‘other agencies’’

category (i.e., agencies other than DOD, NASA, and DOE;

receiving agencies not known to the manufacturer; and

plants which have less than $1 million in Federal shipments) was estimated at $19.8 billion. Of the $143.9 billion

of manufactured products shipped, $107.8 billion represented shipments of prime contracts, and $36.1 billion

were done on indirect or subcontracts.

Total employment in all Federal Government oriented

industries in 1992 was estimated to be 7.5 million, of which

1.0 million employees were engaged in work related to

Government expenditures for manufactured products. By

agency, DOD shipments supported an estimated .8 million

employees; NASA, 53,000; DOE, 28,300; ‘‘other agencies,’’ 64,400; and ‘‘agency not known’’, 68,700.

Twenty industries shipped more than $1 billion of their

products to the Federal Government. These industries

were led by SIC 3812, Search and Navigation Equipment,

at $26.2 billion; SIC 3721, Aircraft, at $23.0 billion; and SIC

3761, Guided Missiles and Space Vehicles, at $16.6 billion.

SOURCE OF DATA

These data are based on the results of 1992 Census of

Manufactures Survey of Manufacturers’ Shipments to Federal Government Agencies. The survey sample included

plants in the 108 industries identified as having engaged

extensively in business with the Federal Government. The

majority of the 108 industries are grouped in Major Groups

34, 35, 36, 37, and 38. Appendix A provides limitations of

the data and an explanation of the terms. Appendix B

describes the survey sample and estimating procedure.

Appendix C contains reproductions of the report form and

instructions.

1Standard error estimates are calculated from the unadjusted (reciprocal) government shipments which were reported on the MC~9675. No adjustment has been made to the standard error for

the ratio estimation to Census of Manufactures levels. See appendix B for a description of the methodology. 2Includes all four~digit industries in major group 33 except 3339, 3357, 3363, and 3365. 3Includes 3716, 3732, 3743, 3751, 3792, and 3799.

4Data in the value of shipments column represent value of work done rather than value of shipments. Consequently, the formula for computing value added by manufacture was modified to

exclude any change between beginning~ and end~of~year inventories. 5Includes 3822, 3841, and 3843.

Note: Totals may not add to sum of the detail because of rounding.

1Standard error estimates are calculated from the unadjusted (reciprocal) government shipments which were reported on the MC~9675. No adjustment has been made to the standard error for

the ratio estimation to Census of Manufactures levels. See appendix B for a description of the methodology. 2Includes all four~digit industries in major group 33 except 3339, 3357, 3363, and 3365. 3Includes 3716, 3732, 3743, 3751, 3792, and 3799.

4Data in the value of shipments column represent value of work done rather than value of shipments. Consequently, the formula for computing value added by manufacture was modified to

exclude any change between beginning~ and end~of~year inventories. 5Includes 3822, 3841, and 3843.

Note: Totals may not add to sum of the detail because of rounding.

Appendix A.

Limitations of the Data and Explanation of Terms

LIMITATIONS OF THE DATA

The survey of Shipments to Federal Government Agencies was conducted to measure the extent of Government

procurement in 108 manufacturing industry classifications

listed in appendix B. Similar data for other manufacturing

industries which may have made shipments to the Federal

Government were not included in the sample. Therefore,

the data at the U.S. level do not represent all Federal

Government procurement, only that of the industries surveyed.

In general, shipments to the Federal Government in this

report consist of finished goods or components produced

to military specifications. The major portion of Government

business for these industries, with the exception of the

machinery industries, is subject to renegotiation and, therefore, is separately identified in the records of the respondents. Government shipments consist of products shipped

to Federal agencies, their contractors, subcontractors, and

suppliers. The Government total is further subdivided into

shipments relating to (1) Government prime contracts and

(2) other manufacturers in ultimate performance of Federal

Government contracts (subcontracts).

The survey was designed primarily to measure the

volume of shipments to the Federal Government made by

prime contracting industries and was not intended to

include all manufacturing industries that may have been

engaged in subcontracting activities related to Government

contracts. In interpreting the figures for subcontract work,

note that these industries do not represent all ‘‘basic

materials’’ industries and ‘‘other components’’ industries

that are important in subcontracts. Shipments of materials

and components purchased by the Government and furnished to contractors supplying finished equipment were

reported as prime contracts.

Furthermore, there is no indication of the level of subcontracts (e.g., first tier, second tier, etc.). Because of the

nature of the industries surveyed, it is likely that, except for

a few industries such as electronic components, most of

the subcontracting is first tier only, and the pyramid of

shipments values from one tier to another is not large.

The particular sample selected for this survey is one of

a large number of similar probability samples of the same

size that could have been selected by chance, using the

same sample design. Each of the possible samples would

have yielded somewhat different sets of results. The sampling errors (the differences between the estimates obtained

and the results theoretically obtainable from a comparable

complete canvass of the same target universe) are unknown.

Guides to the potential size of the sampling errors, however, are provided by the estimated relative standard errors

of the estimates. These are shown in the report for total

value of Government shipments for each industry. On the

average, relative standard errors will be higher for the

detailed figures than for the aggregates.

In conjunction with its associated estimate, the relative

standard error (computed as the estimated standard error

of the estimate divided by the value of the estimate itself)

may be used to define confidence intervals, ranges which

could be expected to include comparable complete coverage values for specified percentages of all possible samples.

The complete coverage value would be included in the

range:

1. From one standard error below to one standard error

above the derived estimate for about two-thirds of all

samples.

2. From two standard errors below to two standard errors

above the derived estimate for about 19 out of 20 of all

possible samples.

3. From three standard errors below to three standard

errors above the derived estimate for nearly all samples.

An inference can be made that comparable complete

coverage results within the indicated ranges would be

correct in approximately the relative frequencies shown.

Those proportions, therefore, may be interpreted as defining the confidence that the estimates shown would differ

from complete coverage results by as much as one, two, or

three standard errors, respectively.

For example, if an estimated total is shown as $20.0

million with an associated relative standard error of 2

percent, the standard error is $0.4 million. Then, there is

approximately 67 percent confidence that the interval $19.6

million to $20.4 million includes the complete coverage

total, about 95 percent confidence that the interval $19.2

million to $20.8 million includes the complete coverage

total, and almost certain confidence that the interval $18.8

million to $21.2 million includes the complete coverage

total.

In addition to the sampling errors, the estimates are

subject to various response and operational errors: errors

of collection, reporting, transcription, etc. These operational errors would also occur if a complete canvass were

MANUFACTURES—SUBJECT SERIES APPENDIX A A–1
to be conducted under the same conditions as this survey.

Explicit measures of their effects generally are not available. However, it is believed that most of the important

operational errors were detected and corrected in the

course of the Census Bureau’s review of the data for

reasonableness and consistency.

A 1992 census mail status file was the basis for creating

the sampling frame for the survey. A comparison of this file

with the final census of manufactures file showed that a

number of small plants were added as a result of Census

Bureau processing. The adjustment of the survey estimates to final Census Bureau results for total employment

and total shipments account for these adds. However, to

the extent that these plants differ in their patterns of

shipments to Federal agencies, the distribution estimated

from the survey may be affected. We are not able to

provide a measure of this difference. (See appendix B for

an explanation of the estimation procedure.) In addition,

changes to SIC codes occurred for several sample cases.

The changes may have been to codes still in scope of the

survey, or they may have been to codes not in scope.

These code switches were allowed for certainty establishments since they only represent themselves. Thus, if the

switch was to an out-of-scope code, the establishment was

deleted from the sample. Noncertainty cases were not

allowed to switch under the presumption that the cases

they represented did not make the same kind of switch and

probably did not switch at all. This procedure is biased, but

if our presumptions are correct, the total mean squared

error is lowered. We are not able to quantify the amount of

bias introduced.

EXPLANATION OF TERMS

All employees. This category includes all full-time and

part-time employees on the payrolls of operating manufacturing establishments who worked or received pay for any

part of the pay period ending nearest the 12th of the month

specified on the report form. Included are all persons on

paid sick leave, paid holidays, and paid vacations during

this pay period. Officers of corporations are included as

employees; proprietors and partners of unincorporated

firms are, however, excluded.

The report form requests a total number of employees.

We estimated the number of employees by agency by

adjusting the total number of employees at the establishment by the proportion of its value of shipments to the

particular agency to its total value of shipments.

Value added by manufactures. This measure of manufacturing activity is derived by subtracting the cost of

materials, supplies, fuel, purchased electricity, and contract

work from the value of shipments (or value of production)

as well as receipts for services rendered. This figure is then

adjusted by the addition of value added by merchandising

operations (that is sold without further manufacture, processing, or assembly) and the net change in finished goods

and work-in-process inventories between the beginning

and end of the year.

Value of shipments. This item covers the received or

receivable net selling values f.o.b. plant (exclusive of

freight and taxes) of all products shipped, both primary and

secondary, as well as all miscellaneous receipts such as

receipts for contract work performed for others, installation

and repair, sales of scrap, and sales of products bought

and resold without further processing. It also includes all

items made by or for each establishment from materials

owned by it, whether sold, transferred to other plants of the

same company, or shipped on consignment. The net

selling value of products made in one plant on a contract

basis from materials owned by another was reported by the

plant providing the materials.

Description of Survey Sample and Estimating Procedure

The estimates presented in this report are derived from

a probability sample of approximately 7,800 manufacturing

establishments which were selected from the 1992 Census

of Manufactures excluding administrative records. The

sample was restricted to 108 industry classifications. Of

these, 91 represented four digit SIC levels, 14 three digit

SIC levels, and 3 two digit SIC levels. The two- and

three-digit SIC’s excludes four-digit SIC’s that were being

sampled separately. These industries, based on earlier

detailed studies, had been shown to be engaged extensively in business with the Federal Government. Most of

the industries fall in Major Groups 34, 35, 36, 37, or 38. In

addition, 65 plants not initially in the Census Bureau file but

identified by the Department of Army as having significant

amounts of shipments to the Federal Government, were

treated as separate strata and included in the sample with

certainty. These plants were subsequently located in the

Census Bueau files and were classified accordingly. Because

of this slight amount of duplication in the frame, a trivial

amount of bias was introduced in the estimates. Any

duplicate sample cases were identified and one of the

duplicates deleted.

In addition to the Department of Army adds, additional

establishments were identified for certainty inclusion in the

panel. These included in-scope establishments of particular companies surveyed in the Census Bureau’s Manufacturers’

Shipments, Inventories, and Orders (M3) survey and all

establishments with total employment of 500 or more. All

other establishments in the frame were subsequently assigned

sampling probabilities that were proportional to their total

value of shipments. No establishment, regardless of its

shipments, was assigned a probability less than 0.005.

Establishments chosen for the survey were assigned weights

equal to the reciprocal of their probabilities of selection.

Individual establishment data were inflated by their sampling weights to develop the industry estimates used in the

final estimation procedure.

All establishments included in the survey were instructed

to report total employment, cost of materials, and value of

shipments. These data were to be identical to the data

reported for these items on the 1992 Census of Manufactures filed with the Census Bureau for that plant. In

addition, the establishments were instructed to indicate by

means of a check box inquiry the range of value of

shipments made by the establishments to the Federal

Government in 1992. Those establishments indicating shipments of $1 million or more to the Federal Government

were asked to report the value of such shipments classified

by the specific Government agency to which the products

were billed. The remaining plants (those indicating value of

shipments of less than $1 million to the Federal Government) were not required to complete this portion of the

inquiry. In order to estimate for the latter respondents, a

linear approximation to the mean value of the range (which

the respondent checked) was employed. The following

mean values were used to estimate shipments for establishments that shipped less than $1 million to the Federal

Government:

Up to $100,000, estimated at $42,000

$100,000 to $249,999, estimated at $150,000

$250,000 to $499,999, estimated at $350,000

$500,000 to $999,999, estimated at $700,000

These estimates are included in the ‘‘other Government

agency not specifically known’’ category.

Government employment by agency was derived for

each plant as a straight proration of its total employment by

the ratio of Government shipments data by agency total

shipments. A Government employment figure is shown in

the various tables.
