Introduction Introducción

HISTORY OF THE ECONOMIC CENSUS HISTORIA DEL CENSO ECONOMICO

Economic censuses were conducted in Puerto

Rico beginning with a census of manufactures for

1909 and continuing at 10-year intervals through

1949, excepting 1929. Wholesale and retail trades

and service industries were included as part of the

economic censuses for 1939. Starting with 1949

through 1992, the censuses of wholesale and

retail trades and service industries have been

conducted concurrently with the census of manufactures. The census of construction industries

has been included since 1967. Congress has

authorized the economic censuses to be taken at

5-year intervals covering years ending in 2 and 7.

El censo de manufactura de 1909 marcó el comienzo del censo

económico en Puerto Rico, que hasta 1949 se realizó a intervalos

de 10 años exceptuando el año 1929. Las actividades del comercio al por mayor y al por menor, al igual que las de las industrias de

servicios fueron incluidas como parte del censo económico de

1939. Por primera vez en 1949 hasta 1992, los censos de

comercio al por mayor, comercio al por menor e industrias de

servicios fueron tomados al mismo tiempo que el censo de

manufactura. El censo de las industrias de construcción ha estado

incluido desde 1967. El Congreso ha dado su autorización para

que los censos económicos se realicen cada 5 años, cubriendo los

años que terminan en 2 y 7.

USES OF THE CENSUS USOS DEL CENSO

The economic census provides essential information for government, business, industry, and the

general public and is the primary source of facts

about the structure and function of the economy.

The census furnishes an important part of the

framework for such composite measures as the

net income and gross product of Puerto Rico. In

forecasting and planning, censuses are especially

useful in analyzing the gross product in terms of

the transactions that determine its size and composition. The economic census also provides weights

and a benchmark for indices of industrial production, productivity, and price, all of which are essential for understanding current economic developments.

El censo económico provee información esencial para el gobierno, el comercio, la industria y el público en general y es la

fuente principal de datos acerca de la estructura y función de la

economía. El censo proporciona una parte importante del sistema

mediante el cual se preparan estimados compuestos, tales como

el ingreso neto y el producto bruto de Puerto Rico. Los censos son

particularmente útiles en las etapas de proyección y planificación,

durante las cuales se analiza el producto bruto en términos de las

transacciones que determinan su volumen y composición. El

censo económico provee además las ponderaciones y las cifras

de referencia que se utilizan en la elaboración de índices de

precios, productividad y producción industrial, los cuales son

esenciales para comprender el desarrollo económico actual.

Commonwealth and municipal governments use

census data to assess business activities within

their jurisdictions. The private sector uses the data

to forecast general economic conditions; analyze

sales performance; lay out sales territories; allocate funds for advertising; decide on locations for

new plants, warehouses, or stores; and measure

potential markets in terms of size, geographic

areas, kinds of businesses, and kinds of products

made or sold.

Tanto el gobierno del Estado Libre Asociado como los gobiernos

municipales utilizan los datos censales para evaluar las actividades comerciales que tienen lugar dentro de sus respectivas

jurisdicciones. El sector privado emplea dichos datos para pronosticar la situación económica en general; analizar el volumen de

ventas; determinar las regiones donde llevarán a cabo sus actividades comerciales; asignar fondos con fines publicitarios; determinar la localización de nuevas tiendas, plantas o almacenes; y

medir mercados potenciales en lo que respecta a tamaño, áreas

geográficas, clases de actividades comerciales y clases de productos vendidos o manufacturados.

Following every census, thousands of businesses

and other users purchase reports. Likewise, census facts are widely disseminated by trade associations, business journals, and newspapers. Volumes containing census statistics are available in

Después de cada censo, miles de negocios y otros usuarios

compran los resultados publicados por el censo. Asimismo, los

resultados del censo son ampliamente difundidos por asociaciones mercantiles, diarios comerciales y periódicos. Dichos resultados se publican en una colección de tomos que pueden hallarse

AUTHORITY AUTORIZACION

The 1992 Economic Census is authorized by an

act of the U.S. Congress, Title 13, U.S. Code,

Sections 131, 191, and 224, and by an act of the

Legislature of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico,

Law No. 11, approved March 27, 1950. The census of 1992 covered manufacturing, construction

industries, wholesale trade, retail trade, and service industries. The next economic census of Puerto

Rico is scheduled to be taken in 1998 covering the

year 1997.

El Censo Económico de 1992 es requerido por una ley del

Congreso de los EE.UU.-secciones 131, 191 y 224, título 13 del

Código de los EE.UU.-y por la Ley No.11 de la Legislatura del

Estado Libre Asociado de Puerto Rico, que fuera aprobada el 27

de marzo de 1950. El Censo Económico de 1992 abarcó las

industrias de construcción, manufactura, comercio al por mayor,

comercio al por menor y servicios. El próximo censo económico de

Puerto Rico se llevará a cabo en 1998 a fin de cubrir el año 1997.

CENSUS DISCLOSURE RULES REGLAS SOBRE DIVULGACION

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, so this information may

be released even though other information is

withheld.

De acuerdo con la ley federal que rige los informes censales, los

datos que se publican no divulgan las operaciones de un establecimiento o negocio en particular. Sin embargo, el número de

establecimientos clasificados bajo un tipo de negocio no constituye una divulgación, por lo tanto esta información puede ser

publicada aunque otra información sea suprimida.

COMPARABILITY OF DATA COMPARABILIDAD ENTRE LOS DATOS

The 1987 and 1992 Economic Censuses data

were collected under similar conditions and procedures.

Los datos de los censos económicos de 1987 y 1992 se

recopilaron bajo condiciones y procedimientos similares.

SCOPE AND CLASSIFICATION ALCANCE Y CLASIFICACION

This report includes data from all employer

establishments (establishments with payroll) primarily engaged in wholesale trade and retail trade,

as defined in the Standard Industrial Classification

Manual: 19871 (SIC). This industrial classification

system has been developed by experts on classification in government and private industry under

the guidance of the Office of Management and

Budget and is in general use among government

agencies and organizations outside the government.

Este informe incluye los datos obtenidos de los establecimientos

que tenían empleados (establecimientos con nómina) que se

dedican principalmente al comercio al por mayor y comercio al por

menor, según están definidas en la edición de del Manual de

Clasificación Industrial Uniforme: 19871 (CIU). Este sistema de

clasificación industrial ha sido desarrollado durante un período de

años por expertos en clasificación en el gobierno y en la empresa

privada, bajo la dirección de la Oficina de Administración y

Presupuesto. El mismo es usado generalmente por agencias

gubernamentales al igual que no gubernamentales.

Establishments were classified on the basis of

their self-designation, answers to questions on

sales by commodity and merchandise lines, and

other inquiries.

Wholesale trade (SIC’s 50 and 51). Includes

establishments primarily engaged in selling merchandise to retailers; industrial, commercial, institutional, farm, professional business users, or to

other wholesalers; or in acting as agents or brokers in buying merchandise for or selling merchandise to such persons or companies.

El comercio al por mayor (CIU 50 y 51). Incluye los establecimientos que se dedican principalmente a venderles mercancía a

detallistas, a usuarios del sector industrial, comercial, institucional,

agrícola o profesional o a otros mayoristas; o los que se dedican a

servir como agentes comerciales en la compra o venta de mercancía a tales personas o compañías.

Retail trade (SIC’s 52 to 59). Includes establishments primarily engaged in selling merchandise

for personal or household consumption, and rendering services incidental to the sale of the goods.

Data for post exchanges, ship stores, and similar

establishments operated on military posts by agencies of the Federal Government are not included.

El comercio al por menor (CIU 52 a 59). Incluye los establecimientos que se dedican principalmente a la venta de mercancía

para el consumo personal o familiar y al suministro de servicios

relacionados con la venta de la mercancía. No están incluidos los

datos que conciernen a los puestos comerciales, las tiendas del

servicio naval y establecimientos similares a éstos que están

localizados en bases militares y de cuyo funcionamiento se

encargan las agencias del gobierno federal.

Establishments identified by multiestablishment

firms as ‘‘Central administrative offices’’ or ‘‘auxiliaries,’’ whose primary functions were to manage,

administer, service, or support the activities of

other establishments of the company, were not

within the scope of the 1992 Economic Census of

Puerto Rico. Consequently, no data are published

for them.

Los establecimientos que fueron identificados por firmas con

establecimientos múltiples como ‘‘oficinas centrales administrativas’’ o ‘‘auxiliares,’’ cuyas funciones principales eran las de dirigir,

administrar, servir o apoyar las actividades de los otros establecimientos de la misma compañía, no formaron parte de la cobertura del Censo Económico de Puerto Rico de 1992. Por consiguiente, los datos sobre estos establecimientos no son publicados.

ESTABLISHMENT BASIS OF REPORTING EL ESTABLECIMIENTO COMO BASE INFORMATIVA

The economic census is conducted on an establishment basis. A company operating establishments at more than one location is required to

submit separate reports for each location. Companies engaged in distinctly different lines of activity

at one location are required to submit separate

reports if records permit such a separation and if

the activities are substantial in size. Each census

report was tabulated according to the physical

location at which the activity was conducted. All

establishments employing one person or more at

any time during the census year are included.

El censo económico se realiza a base de establecimientos. A

toda compañía que administre establecimientos en más de una

localidad se le pide que someta un informe por cada una de las

localidades. A las compañías que se dedican a varias actividades

completamente distintas en una misma localidad, se les pide que

rindan informes por separado, si los récords del establecimiento

permiten tal separación y si las actividades en sí son cuantiosas.

Cada informe del censo fue tabulado de acuerdo a la localización

física en que se condujo la actividad. Todos los establecimientos

que emplearon a una o más personas en algún momento durante

el año censal están incluidos en el censo.

REPORT FORM CUESTIONARIO CENSAL

The censuses of wholesale trade and retail

trade were conducted as part of the economic

census which included construction, manufacture,

and service industries. One form was used to

enumerate all in-scope economic activity. The

report form was divided into sections, and each

section contained questions appropriate to the

trade or industry. Response was required by law. A

facsimile of the report form, which was available in

English as well as Spanish, is presented in appendix B.

Los censos de comercio al por mayor y comercio al por menor

fueron realizados como parte del censo económico que incluyó las

industrias de construcción, manufactura y servicio. Se utilizó un

cuestionario para enumerar todas las actividades económicas que

estaban dentro del alcance del censo. El cuestionario se dividió en

partes, cada parte contenía preguntas específicas a un tipo de

industria o actividad comercial. El responder al cuestionario fue

requerido por ley. El apéndice B, presenta un facsímil del cuestionario que estaba disponible en inglés y español.

DATA PROCESSING ELABORACION DE LOS DATOS

Forms were mailed to all wholesale trade and

retail trade firms subject to payment of Federal

Insurance Contributions Act (FICA) taxes (i.e.,

employers of one person or more) and classified

as being within the scope of the census. The forms

and instructions for completing them were mailed

from the Census Bureau’s Data Preparation Division in Jeffersonville, IN.

Se le enviaron cuestionarios por correo a todas las compañías

de comercio al por mayor y comercio al por menor que están

sujetas al pago de contribuciones bajo la Ley de Seguro Social

Federal (FICA), (por ejemplo, compañías que emplean a una o más

personas) y las cuales se clasificaron dentro del alcance del

censo. El cuestionario y las instrucciones para completarlo fueron

enviados por correo desde la División de Elaboración de Datos de

la Oficina del Censo en Jeffersonville, IN.

The completed report forms were returned by

mail to Jeffersonville. Contact with respondents

about overdue report forms was undertaken by the

Census Bureau’s area office, a temporary facility

located in Hato Rey, Puerto Rico.

Una vez completados, los cuestionarios se enviaban por correo

a Jeffersonville. La comunicación con los establecimientos cuyos

cuestionarios estaban retrasados, estuvo a cargo de la oficina de

área del Negociado del Censo, localizada temporeramente en

Hato Rey, Puerto Rico.

The returned reports underwent extensive review

and computer processing. All reports were geographically coded, data-keyed, and edited. The

editing process identified records with significant

problems and referred them for correction resolution. Corrections were performed interactively using

standard procedures.

Los cuestionarios devueltos fueron sometidos a una revisión y

elaboración extensa. Todos los cuestionarios fueron codificados

geográficamente y sometidos a la digitación y crítica de sus datos.

El proceso de crítica sirvió para identificar los récords que tenían

problemas significativos y fueron referidos para corrección y

revisión. Las correcciones se llevaron a cabo utilizando procedimientos uniformes.

The data were then tabulated by SIC, subjected

to further data analysis, and the resulting corrections applied to individual computer records. Corrected tabulations were then produced for the final

published reports.

Los datos fueron tabulados por CIU y sometidos a una revisión

analítica, a partir de la cual se hicieron las correcciones necesarias

a cada récord en la computadora. Por último, se produjeron las

tabulaciones ya corregidas para la publicación de los informes

finales.

RELIABILITY OF DATA CONFIABILIDAD DE LOS DATOS

Census report forms were sent to all known

wholesale trade and retail trade establishments

and, therefore, are not subject to sampling variability. 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; inability or unwillingness on

the part of respondents to provide correct information; definition and classification difficulties; response errors and bias; errors in collection or

processing; misinterpretation of questions; and

other errors of recording, keying, and estimation

for missing or misreported data.

Los cuestionarios se enviaron a todos los patronos de establecimientos que se dedicaban al comercio al por mayor y comercio

al por menor y por lo tanto, no están sujetos a la variabilidad del

muestreo. No obstante, los datos están sujetos a errores ajenos al

muestreo. Los errores ajenos al muestreo pueden ocurrir por

muchas razones: inabilidad para identificar todos los casos en el

universo, inabilidad o renuencia de parte de los respondedores a

proporcionar la información correcta, dificultades con las definiciones y clasificaciones, errores y sesgos en las respuestas,

errores en la recopilación o procesamiento de los datos, mala

interpretación de las preguntas y otros errores en el registro y

digitación de los datos, y estimados que se utilizan para los récords

sin respuestas o repuestas incorrectas.

The accuracy of these tabulated data is influenced by the joint effects of the various nonsampling errors. Explicit measures of the effects of

these nonsampling errors are not available. However, it is believed that most of the important

operational and response errors were detected

and corrected through systematic clerical edits,

automated data edits, and an analyst review.

La exactitud de los datos tabulados está influenciada por el

conjunto de efectos que tienen los diversos errores ajenos al

muestreo. No existen medidas explícitas de los efectos que tienen

dichos errores. Sin embargo, se estima que la mayoría de los

errores importantes de ejecución y respuesta fueron hallados y

corregidos mediante los procedimientos sistemáticos de la crítica

manual, crítica electrónica y revisión de los datos por parte de

analistas.

For total nonresponse cases (report forms not

returned), the establishments’ administrative records

information was used in conjunction with industry

averages to estimate the basic data. For item

nonresponse, missing items were estimated based

En el caso de los récords sin respuestas (cuestionarios no

devueltos), se usó la información administrativa del establecimiento conjuntamente con los promedios industriales para

estimar los datos básicos. Las preguntas individuales sin respuestas (preguntas dejadas en blanco) se estimaron en base a las

 JOBNAME: No Job Name PAGE: 5 SESS: 34 OUTPUT: Thu Feb 9 11:27:57 1995 / pssw01/ disk2/ economic/ oa92e/ 2/ 07txtint

on response to other items and/ or administrative

records and in direct relationships to sales or

receipts. It is assumed that characteristics of establishments not responding to a particular inquiry are

the same as establishments with equal sales or

receipts in the same category (publication table

line) that did respond to the inquiry.

respuestas a otras preguntas y/ o en base a los récords administrativos del establecimiento y en relación a las ventas o ingresos.

Se asume que las características de los establecimientos que no

responden a una pregunta en particular, son iguales a los establecimientos que tienen las mismas ventas o ingresos en la misma

categoría (línea en la tabla de publicación) que respondió a dicha

pregunta.

If estimation of the data on the basis of total

sales or receipts was not appropriate, another

basic data item was used. In a few tables, data are

available only from establishments that completed

the appropriate inquiries on the report form. Any

biases introduced by the estimation and correction

procedures are believed to be small.

Si la estimación de los datos a base del total de ventas o

ingresos no resultó apropiado, otros datos básicos fueron utilizados. En algunas tablas los datos están disponibles para los

establecimientos que contestaron las preguntas apropiadas en el

cuestionario. Se cree que los sesgos que se puedan deber a la

estimación o a los procedimientos de corrección son mínimos.

SPECIAL TABULATIONS TABULACIONES ESPECIALES

Special tabulations of data collected in the 1992

Economic Census may be obtained in electronic

and tabular form. The data will be in summary form

Appendix A.

Explanation of Terms

Apéndice A.

Explicación de los Términos

Number of establishments. Includes all establishments in operation at any time during the year. It covers all full- and part-year operations. An establishment

is not necessarily identical with a company or enterprise, which may consist of one or more establishments. Census figures represent a summary of reports

for individual establishments rather than companies.

Número de establecimientos. Comprende todos los establecimientos

que estuvieron activos durante cualquier período del año. Cubre todas

las operaciones que duraron el año entero al igual que aquellas que

duraron parte del año. Un establecimiento no es necesariamente idéntico

a una compañía o empresa, la cual podría tener uno o más

establecimientos. Las estadísticas del censo representan un resumen

de los informes individuales de cada establecimiento y no de las

compañías.

Sales and receipts. Sales and receipts include sales

of merchandise, receipts for repairs and other services to customers, and delivery charges whether

or not payment was received in 1992. Sales and

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

allowances are not deducted from total sales. Sales

and receipts include income from business activities classified in a major category other than the one

assigned to the establishment; e.g., wholesalers may

have receipts for sales at retail, and, similarly, retailers may have receipts for sales at wholesale.

Ventas e Ingresos. Las ventas e ingresos incluyen las ventas de

mercancía, los ingresos por concepto de reparaciones y otros servicios

prestados a clientes, y los cargos por entrega de la mercancía, hubiérase

recibido o no el pago durante 1992. Las ventas e ingresos son netos

después de restarse los reembolsos y hacerse los ajustes necesarios

por la devolución de mercancía entregada como pago parcial en la

compra de mercancía nueva no se resta del total de ventas. Las ventas

e ingresos incluyen los ingresos obtenidos de las actividades comerciales

que están clasificadas bajo una categoría principal diferente a la que

se le asigna al establecimiento; por ejemplo, los mayoristas pueden

recibir ingresos de ventas al por menor y, en forma similar, los detallistas

pueden recibir ingresos de ventas al por mayor.

Sales and receipts do not include carrying or other

credit charges; commissions from vending machine

operations; or nonoperating income from such sources

as investments, rental or sale of real estate.

Las ventas e ingresos no incluyen los intereses o cargos por concesión

de crédito; comisiones obtenidas de las operaciones relacionadas

con las máquinas que venden cigarrillos, dulces, etc.; ni ingreso no

operativo obtenido de fuentes tales como inversiones, alquiler o venta

de bienes raíces.

PRESENTATION OF DATA PRESENTACION DE LOS DATOS

This report represents a recompilation of establishments and sales data collected in the 1992 Economic Census of Puerto Rico according to various

categories of commodity and merchandise lines sold

by wholesale and retail establishments, respectively.

It consists of two chapters, one for each trade area.

Este informe representa una recopilación de los datos obtenidos

sobre establecimientos y ventas en el Censo Económico de Puerto

Rico de 1992 de acuerdo a las categorías de las líneas de producto

y mercancía vendidas por establecimientos que se dedican al comercio

al por mayor y comercio al por menor, respectivamente. Este informe

consiste de dos capítulos, uno por cada sector comercial.

Wholesale Trade Comercio al por Mayor

Commodity Lines. Tables 1 and 2 present sales

data for commodity lines. In presentation, these data

are similar to merchandise line sales data, but represent wholesale information. See the explanation

for the merchandise line sales tables which appears

next in this appendix.

Líneas de Productos. Las Tablas 1 y 2 proporcionan datos sobre

las ventas de las líneas de productos. Aunque estos datos tienden

a parecerse a los datos sobre las ventas de las líneas de mercancía

por la manera en que están presentados, la información que brindan

corresponde al comercio al por mayor. Véase la explicación de las

tablas sobre las ventas de las líneas de mercancía que aparece a

continuación en este apéndice.

Retail Trade Comercio al por Menor

Merchandise Lines. Tables 1 and 2 present sales

data for merchandise lines. An individual establishment is the unit assigned to a single kind-of-business

classification for which data are summarized in most

retail census tabulations. Prior to their recompilation

by merchandise line category, kind-of-business statistics do not provide the merchandise line composition of retail sales. To meet expanded needs, sales

by merchandise lines are collected in the census and

are presented in this report in terms of merchandise

line groupings.

Líneas de mercancía. Las tablas 1 y 2 proporcionan datos sobre

las ventas de las líneas de mercancía. Un establecimiento individual

es la unidad a la que se asigna una sola clasificación de tipo de negocio,

para la cual se hace un resumen de los datos en la mayoría de las

tabulaciones censales de comercio al por menor. Antes de ser

recopiladas conforme a categorías correspondientes de las líneas

de mercancía, las estadísticas de tipo de negocio no suministran las

líneas de mercancía que componen las ventas al por menor. Para

poder cumplir requisitos específicos, se recopilaron datos en el censo

que indican las ventas según las líneas de mercancía y se presentan

dichos datos a base de grupos de estas líneas.

In planning merchandise line inquiries for the 1992

Economic Census of Puerto Rico, the Bureau of the

Census consulted extensively with local government

and trade associations, both for advice on the information to be provided by the census, and on

reportability which was the major limiting factor. Fifty

merchandise lines were devised to account for all

the sales and receipts of retail establishments, regardless of kind-of-business classification.

Con el propósito de preparar las preguntas del Censo Económico

de Puerto Rico de 1992 que se relacionan con las líneas de mercancía,

el Negociado del Censo decidió consultar la opinión de gobiernos

locales y asociaciones mercantiles con respecto a la información que

el censo debía proporcionar y también con respecto a la viabilidad

de facilitar los datos, la cual constituye el factor limitante. Se formularon

cincuenta líneas de mercancía generales para dar cuenta de todas

las ventas e ingresos de los establecimientos de comercio al por menor,

sin considerar la clasificación de tipo de negocio.

Limitations in reporting sales by merchandise

lines. Even with a limited breakdown of 50 major

lines, there may be a tendency on the part of respondents to fail to identify minor lines for a particular business. This has the effect of understating the number

of outlets for individual merchandise lines, and to a

lesser extent, it affects the measurement of the volume of sales of individual lines.

Limitaciones al declarar las ventas según las líneas de

mercancía. Aún con un desglose tan limitado de 50 líneas principales,

puede haber la tendencia de parte de los respondedores a dejar de

identificar las líneas menos importantes de un negocio en particular. Esto resulta en una subestimación del número de tiendas que

hay para las líneas individuales de ventas de mercancía y, en menor

grado, afecta la medida del volumen de ventas de las líneas individuales.

Merchandise line categories by which individual

retailers group their sales are not uniform and will

not always correspond to categories established in

a reporting system designed for general use. In addition, because some retailers may have had little if

any recorded information on sales by line of merchandise, a substantial amount of estimation may

be involved in the reporting of merchandise lines.

Furthermore, there is, of course, no assurance that

the pattern for the establishments reporting sales

by merchandise lines is representative of those which

did not report. Figures for merchandise line sales should

constitute useful approximations to serve many important current requirements and should be helpful in

measuring important changes occurring over fairly

long intervals, such as between successive censuses.

Las categorías de las líneas de mercancía que los minoristas

individuales utilizan para agrupar sus ventas no son uniformes y no

siempre corresponden a las categorías establecidas en un sistema

informativo que ha sido diseñado para uso general. También, puesto

que algunos minoristas podrían tener poca (si alguna) información

registrada con respecto a las ventas por líneas de mercancía, el declarar

información acerca de las líneas de mercancía requiere un sinnúmero

de estimaciones. Además, no hay ninguna seguridad de que el patrón

establecido por los establecimientos que declaran las ventas de acuerdo

a las líneas de mercancía pueda representar a aquéllos que no

respondieron. Las cifras correspondientes a las ventas de líneas de

mercancía deberían constituir aproximaciones útiles que satisfagan

un gran número de los requerimientos más importantes que existen

en la actualidad y deberían ayudar a medir los cambios importantes

que ocurren durante intervalos relativamente largos, tal como el intervalo

entre un censo y otro.

A related problem for large retail firms may be the

absence of merchandise line records on an individual

establishment basis. Some firms may have information available only for a group of stores within a warehouse district or some other grouping used by the

firm. In such cases it was necessary for the firm to

estimate sales for individual stores by using the pattern of sales shown by the entire group of stores.

La falta de registros (sobre líneas de mercancía) que estuvieran

basados en establecimientos individuales pudo haber significado un

problema para las grandes empresas minoristas. Algunas empresas

sólo tenían información disponible para un grupo de tiendas que

estuvieran localizadas dentro de un distrito de almacenamiento o para

algún otro grupo o clasificación utilizada por la empresa. En estos

casos fue necesario que la empresas estimara las ventas de las tiendas

individuales utilizando el patrón de ventas establecido por el grupo

entero de tiendas.

• The number of establishments handling the line

and their sales;

• El número de establecimientos que administran la línea y las

ventas relacionadas con la misma;

• The percentage of total sales of the specific kind

of business accounted for by each of the lines

carried;

• El porcentaje total de ventas realizadas por el tipo de negocio

específico que es representado por cada una de las líneas

que estos tienen a la venta;

• The degree of specialization in that line. Specialization is derived by computing sales of a

line as a percentage of total sales of establishments that handled that particular line.

• El grado de especialización en esa línea. La especialización

se obtiene calculando las ventas de una línea como un

porcentaje del total de ventas de los establecimientos que

vendían esa línea en particular.

Table 2 provides summary data by merchandise

line, including counts of establishments handling the

line and total sales of the line. Provided within each

merchandise line are counts of establishments carrying the line and the amount and percent of the line

sold by various kinds of retail businesses.

La Tabla 2 proporciona datos sumarios según la línea general de

mercancía, incluyendo el número de establecimientos que administran

esa línea y el total de ventas para esa línea. Dentro de cada línea

general de mercancía se proporcionan el número de establecimientos

que venden la línea y se indica qué cantidad y por ciento de la línea

han sido vendidos por varios tipos de negocios detallistas.

To avoid disclosure, data for merchandise lines

and kinds of businesses may not add to the total

because some merchandise lines and kinds of businesses are not shown.

La sumas de los datos para las líneas de mercancías y tipos de

KIND-OF-BUSINESS CLASSIFICATIONS—

WHOLESALE TRADE

CLASIFICACIONES DE TIPO DE NEGOCIO—

COMERCIO AL POR MAYOR

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.

Establishments primarily engaged in the wholesale

distribution of used products are classified on the

basis of the products sold.

El comercio al por mayor, según los grupos principales 50 y 51

del Manual de CIU de 1987, incluye establecimientos que se dedican

principalmente a la venta de mercancía a comerciantes detallistas;

usuarios del sector industrial, comercial, institucional, agrícola o profesional;

o a otros mayoristas; a la vez que incluye establecimientos que hacen

las veces de agentes o corredores en la compra o venta de mercancía

de tales personas o compañías. Los establecimientos que se dedican

principalmente a la distribución al por mayor de productos usados

son clasificados en base a los productos vendidos.

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 sell to the general public and are known as ‘‘retail’’ in the trade, even if a

higher proportion of their sales is made to contractors.

Los establecimientos que se dedican principalmente a vender

mercancía a contratistas son considerados como establecimientos

de comercio al por mayor, exceptuando las madererías y las tiendas

de pintura, cristal y papel para empapelar paredes. Estas excepciones

son clasificadas como establecimientos de comercio al por menor

si venden sus productos al público en general y si se conocen como

detallistas dentro de la profesión, aún cuando las ventas a contratistas

representen la mayor parte del total de sus ventas.

Establishments covered by the census were

assigned to a kind-of-business classification in accordance with the industry classifications defined in the

1987 SIC Manual. However, because of the low number of establishments in some industry groups, the

kinds of businesses shown in this report are often

limited to the three-digit SIC codes.

A los establecimientos abarcados por el censo se les clasificó según

el tipo de negocio, conforme a las clasificaciones industriales definidas

en el Manual de CIU de 1987. Sin embargo, debido a que algunos

grupos industriales tienen muy pocos establecimientos, los tipos de

negocios que aparecen en este informe suelen estar limitados a códigos

de CIU de sólo tres dígitos.

KIND-OF-BUSINESS CLASSIFICATIONS—

RETAIL TRADE

CLASIFICACIONES DE TIPO DE NEGOCIO—

COMERCIO AL POR MENOR

Retail trade, major groups 52 through 59 in the 1987

SIC Manual, includes establishments engaged in selling merchandise for personal or household consumption and in rendering services incidental to the sale

of the goods. Exceptions are necessitated by trade

practices. For example, lumber yards and paint, glass,

and wallpaper stores are included in retail trade if

they sell to the general public, even if a higher proportion of their sales is made to contractors. Establishments engaged in selling products to the general

public from displayed merchandise, such as typewriters, stationery, or gasoline, are classified in retail

trade even though such products may not be used

for personal or household consumption. However,

establishments that sell exclusively to business establishments, institutional and industrial users, or contractors are classified in wholesale trade.

El comercio al por menor, los grupos principales del 52 al 59 del

Manual de CIU de 1987, incluye los establecimientos que se dedican

a vender mercancía para consumo personal o familiar y a prestar

los servicios relacionados con la venta de los artículos. Las excepciones

a esta regla general se hacen necesarias debido a las prácticas en

la industria. Por ejemplo, se incluyen en el comercio al por menor

las tiendas que venden madera, pintura, cristal y papel para empapelar

paredes, si las ventas están dirigidas al público en general, aún cuando

las ventas a contratistas representen la mayor parte del total de ventas.

Los establecimientos que se dedican a vender al público en general los productos de la mercancía en exhibición, tales como maquinillas

de escribir, papel y sobres para correspondencia o gasolina, se clasifican

como de comercio al por menor aún cuando tales productos no se

usen para consumo personal o familiar. Sin embargo, los establecimientos

que venden mercancía exclusivamente a establecimientos comerciales,

a usuarios institucionales e industriales, o a contratistas, se clasifican

como de comercio al por mayor.

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

business; they are engaged in activities to attract the

general public to buy; they buy or receive as well as

sell merchandise; they may process their products,

although processing is incidental or subordinate to

selling; and they are considered as ‘‘retail’’ in the trade.

Not all of these characteristics need to be present

and some are modified by trade practice.

Otras características importantes de los establecimientos de comercio

al por menor son las siguientes: tienen por lo general un lugar de

negocio fijo; se dedican a actividades que incitan al público en general a comprar; compran o reciben y también venden mercancía; pueden

elaborar sus productos; sin embargo, la elaboración es incidental y

menos importante que la venta de los mismos y son considerados

en la industria como establecimientos de comercio al por menor. No

todas esta características tienen que estar presentes necesariamente

y algunas son modificadas por las prácticas en la industria.

Establishments covered by the census were

assigned kind-of-business classifications in accordance with the industry classifications defined in the

1987 SIC Manual. However, because of the low number of establishments in some industry groups, the

kinds of businesses shown in this report are often

limited to the 3-digit SIC codes. Retail establishments

were generally classified according to the principal

lines of merchandise sold (groceries, hardware, etc.),

or the usual trade designation (drug store, cigar store,

etc.)

Se le asignaron categorías de tipo de negocio a los establecimientos

incluidos en el censo de acuerdo a las clasificaciones industriales

definidas en el Manual de CIU de 1987. Sin embargo, debido al escaso

número de establecimientos que tenían algunos tipos de negocios

industriales, los tipos de negocios que se indican en este informe

a menudo están limitados al código de CIU de sólo tres dígitos. Los

establecimientos que se dedican al comercio al por menor generalmente

fueron clasificados de acuerdo a las principales líneas de mercancías

vendidas (comestibles, ferretería, etc.) o a la designación comercial

usual (farmacia, tabaquería, etc.).
