Introduction

HISTORY OF THE ECONOMIC CENSUS

Economic censuses of manufactures, construction industries, retail and wholesale trades, and some service industries have been conducted in the Northern Mariana Islands

at 5-year intervals since 1982. Congress has authorized

the Bureau of the Census to take the economic census

every 5 years, covering years ending in 2 and 7.

USES OF THE CENSUS

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 local gross product. 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.

Local 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, and kinds of businesses.

Following every census, 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 most major public and college libraries. Census

reports are available for sale by the Superintendent of

Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington,

DC 20402. All 1992 data are available in electronic form

from the Data User Services Division, Customer Services,

Bureau of the Census, Washington, DC 20233-8300. The

State data centers also are suppliers of economic census

statistics.

AUTHORITY

The 1992 Economic Census is authorized by an act of

the U.S. Congress, Title 13, U.S. Code, sections 131, 191,

and 224. The census of 1992 covered manufacturing,

construction industries, wholesale trade, retail trade, and

some service industries. The next economic census is

scheduled to be taken in 1998 covering the year 1997.

CENSUS DISCLOSURE RULES

In accordance with Federal law governing census reports,

no data are published that would disclose the operations of

an individual establishment or business. However, the

number of establishments in a kind-of-business classification is not considered a disclosure, so this information may

be released even though other information is withheld.

COMPARABILITY OF DATA

The 1987 and 1992 Economic Censuses data were

collected under similar conditions and procedures.

KINDS OF BUSINESSES AND AREAS COVERED

The 1992 Economic Census covers all establishments

described in the following kind-of-business (KB) groups

defined in the 1987 Standard Industrial Classification

Manual1 (SIC).

KB groups SIC codes

Construction 15 through 17, and 6552

Manufacturing 20 through 39

Wholesale Trade 50 and 51

Retail Trade 52 through 59

Services 472; 70 through 79, except

702 and 704; and

8072, 8111, 84, 871,

8731, 8732, 8734, and

874.

This report presents data for the Northern Mariana Islands

as a whole and for its municipalities.

ESTABLISHMENT BASIS OF REPORTING

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

than one location is required to submit a report for each

 JOBNAME: No Job Name PAGE: 2 SESS: 15 OUTPUT: Tue May 9 16:14:51 1995 / pssw01/ disk2/ economic/ oa92e/ 7/ 07txtint

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.

Leased departments, which are separately owned businesses operated as departments or concessions of a retail

business under another ownership, such as a separately

owned shoe department in a department store, were listed

as separate establishments from the main business.

REPORT FORM

One report form was used to enumerate all in-scope

economic activity. By law, response to the census is

mandatory. A facsimile of the report form is presented in

appendix B.

ENUMERATION AND DATA PROCESSING

The 1992 Economic Census of the Northern Mariana

Islands was conducted entirely by personal enumeration.

Enumerators canvassed the islands and obtained report

forms on all known businesses existing in 1992. Appendix

A gives a more detailed explanation of census coverage

and methodology.

The individual report forms underwent extensive review

and computer processing. All report forms were geographically coded, data-keyed, and edited. The editing process

identified records with significant problems and referred

them to an analyst for resolution. Data corrections were

made interactively and reedited, until all problems were

resolved.

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.

RELIABILITY OF DATA

All data compiled in this report originated from a complete enumeration 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.

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.

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 on response to other items and/ or administrative records and in direct relationship 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 (e.g., publication table line) that did respond to

the inquiry.

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.

SPECIAL TABULATIONS

Special tabulations of data collected in the 1992 Economic Census may be obtained in electronic form and in

tabular form. The data will be in summary form and subject

to the same rules prohibiting disclosure of confidential

information (including name, address, kind-of-business, or

other data for individual business establishments or companies) as are the regular publications.

Special tabulations are prepared on a cost-reimbursable

basis. A request for a cost estimate, as well as exact

specifications on the type and format of the data to be

provided, should be directed to the Chief, Agriculture and

Financial Statistics Division, Bureau of the Census, Washington, DC 20233.

DOLLAR VALUE

All dollar figures are expressed in current dollars for the

year specified. Therefore, when making comparisons to

prior years, users should take into consideration the inflation that has occurred.

Appendix A.

General Explanation

CENSUS COVERAGE AND METHODOLOGY

Structure and method of enumeration. The 1992 Economic Census of the Northern Mariana Islands was conducted by personal enumeration. The islands were canvassed and each establishment within the scope of the

census was listed.

The Government of the Northern Mariana Islands collected the data under the provisions in title 13 of the United

States Code, section 191(b). A staff member of the Northern Mariana Islands Department of Commerce and Labor

supervised the field enumeration. The project leader and

the enumerators were trained in Saipan by staff from the

Bureau of the Census.

The islands were divided into enumeration districts

(ED’s), one or more of which were assigned to an enumerator. The enumerator was provided with a map of the

assigned ED, a record book, and a supply of forms. The

enumerator was instructed to systematically canvass the

entire ED and enter in the record book the name of each

establishment. Establishments within the scope of the

census were enumerated using report form OA-9883.

Upon completing work in an ED, the enumerator turned

over the record book, report forms, and related materials

to the supervisor. Quality checks were performed during

enumeration to ensure that the area had been completely

canvassed and all necessary reports were obtained.

The census covered individual construction, manufacturing, wholesale, retail, and some service establishments.

Construction, manufacturing, and wholesale establishments

with no paid employees for the entire year of 1992 are

excluded from this publication. Peddlers and other itinerant

vendors without established places of business were not

canvassed, since they were out of the scope of the

census.

Each establishment was assigned a kind-of-business

code from the Standard Industrial Classification Manual:

19871 (SIC) based on the respondent’s answers to the

questions on main business or the primary activity of the

establishment based on sources of sales or receipts.

EXPLANATION OF TERMS

Sales and receipts. Sales and receipts include merchandise sold (excluding excise taxes), value of products

shipped, receipts from repairs and other services to customers, and delivery and carrying charges, whether or not

payment was received in 1992. Sales are net after deductions for refunds and allowances for merchandise returned

by customers. Sales and receipts also include income from

business activities classified in a major category different

from the one assigned to the establishment; e.g., wholesalers may have receipts from sales at retail and similarly,

retailers may have receipts from sales at wholesale. Receipts

exclude amounts other than those received from customers, such as income from investments and rental of real

estate.

Figures may contain duplication since products of some

industries are used as materials for others and work (and

receipts) of one firm may be subcontracted to other firms

and included in the other firm’s receipts.

Firms. A firm is a business organization or entity consisting of one or more domestic establishments (location)

under common ownership or control. All establishments of

subsidiary firms are included as part of the owning or

controlling firm. For the economic censuses, the terms

‘‘firm’’ and ‘‘company’’ are synonymous.

Annual payroll. Payroll includes all forms of compensation, such as salaries, wages, commissions, bonuses,

vacation allowances, sick-leave pay, and the value of

payments-in-kind (e.g., free meals and lodging) paid during

the year to all employees. It also includes tips and gratuities received by employees from patrons and reported to

employers. For corporations, it includes amounts paid to

officers and executives; for unincorporated businesses, it

does not include profit or other compensation of proprietors and partners. Payroll is reported before deductions

for social security, income tax, insurance, union dues, etc.

First quarter payroll. This item consists of payroll, as

defined above, paid to persons employed at any time

during the quarter January to March 1992.

Paid employees for the pay period including March

12. Paid employees, including salaried officers and executives of corporations, are those full- and part-time employees who were on the payroll during the pay period including March 12, 1992. Included are employees on paid sick

leave, paid holidays, and paid vacations. Proprietors and

partners of unincorporated businesses are not included.

Proprietors and partners, working. Proprietors and

partners are owners or partners of unincorporated businesses who worked 15 hours or more during the week

which included March 12, 1992.

Unpaid family workers. This item includes all unpaid

family members who worked 15 hours or more during the

week which included March 12, 1992.

Legal form of organization. The legal form of organization for firms was based on the response to the organizational status questions on the census report forms.

KIND-OF-BUSINESS CLASSIFICATIONS

Establishments covered in the 1992 census were assigned

a kind-of-business classification in accordance with the

provisions of the 1987 SIC Manual. However, the limited

number of establishments in most classifications at the

detail level would necessitate extensive suppression of

data to avoid disclosing figures for individual business

organizations. Therefore, the data in this report are usually

shown for SIC major groups or other SIC combinations.

Following are selected kind-of-business descriptions:

Construction

(SIC Division C, Major Groups 15 through 17,

and 6552)

This division includes establishments primarily engaged

in construction. The term ‘‘construction’’ includes new

work, additions, alterations, and repairs. There are three

broad types of construction activity:

1. Building construction by general contractors and

operative builders (Major Group 15)—This major

group includes general contractors and operative builders primarily engaged in the construction of residential,

farm, industrial, commercial, or other buildings. General building contractors who combine a special trade

with the contracting are included in this major group.

2. Heavy construction other than building construction by contractors (Major Group 16)—This major

group includes general contractors primarily engaged

in heavy construction other than building, such as

highways and streets, bridges, sewers, railroads, irrigation projects, flood control projects and marine

construction, and special trade contractors primarily

engaged in activities of a type that are clearly specialized to such heavy construction and are not normally

performed on buildings or building-related projects.

Specialized activities that are covered include grading

for highways and airport runways; guardrail construction; installation of highway signs; trenching; underwater rock removal; and asphalt and concrete construction of roads, highways, streets, and public sidewalks.

3. Construction by special trade contractors (Major

Group 17)—This major group includes special trade

contractors who undertake activities of a type that are

specialized either to building construction, including

work on mobile homes, or to both building and nonbuilding projects. These activities include painting (including bridge painting and traffic lane painting), electrical

work (including work on bridges, power lines, and

power plants), carpentry work, plumbing, heating, airconditioning, roofing, and sheet metal work. Special

trade contractors may work on subcontract from the

general contractor, performing only part of the work

covered by the general contract, or they may work

directly for the owner. Special trade contractors for the

most part perform their work at the site of construction,

although they also may have shops where they perform work incidental to the job site.

Land subdividers and developers, except cemeteries

(SIC 6552). Establishments primarily engaged in subdividing real property into lots, except cemetery lots, and in

developing it for resale on their own account. Establishments primarily engaged in developing lots for others are

classified in industry 1794.

Manufacturing

(SIC Division D, Major Groups 20 through 39)

This division includes establishments engaged in the

mechanical or chemical transformation of materials or

substances into new products. These establishments are

usually described as plants, factories, or mills and characteristically use power-driven machines and materials handling equipment.

Food and Kindred Products

(SIC Major Group 20)

This major group includes establishments manufacturing or processing foods and beverages for human consumption, and certain related products, such as manufactured ice, chewing gum, vegetable and animal fats and oils,

and prepared feeds for animals and fowls.

Textile Mill Products

(SIC Major Group 22)

This major group includes establishments engaged in

performing any of the following operations: (1) preparation

of fiber and subsequent manufacturing of yarn, thread,

braids, twine, and cordage; (2) manufacturing broadwoven,

narrow woven, and knit fabrics; and carpets and rugs from

yarn; (3) dyeing and finishing fiber, yarn, fabrics, and knit

apparel; (4) coating, waterproofing, or otherwise treating

fabrics; (5) the integrated manufacture of knit apparel and

other finished articles from yarn; and (6) the manufacture

of felt goods, lace goods, nonwoven fabrics, and miscellaneous textiles.

Apparel and Other Finished Products Made From

Fabrics and Similar Materials

(SIC Major Group 23)

This major group, known as the cutting-up and needle

trades, includes establishments producing clothing and

fabricating products by cutting and sewing purchased

woven or knit textile fabrics and related materials, such as

leather, rubberized fabrics, plastics, and furs. Also included

are establishments that manufacture clothing by cutting

and joining (for example, by adhesives) materials such as

paper and nonwoven textiles.

Printing, Publishing, and Allied Industries

(SIC Major Group 27)

This major group includes establishments engaged in

printing by one or more common processes, such as

letterpress; lithography (including offset), gravure, or screen;

and those establishments which perform services for the

printing trade, such as bookbinding and plate making. This

major group also includes establishments engaged in

publishing newspapers, books, and periodicals, regardless

of whether or not they do their own printing.

Stone, Clay, Glass, and Concrete Products

(SIC Major Group 32)

This major group includes establishments engaged in

manufacturing flat glass and other glass products, cement,

structural clay products, pottery, concrete and gypsum

products, cut stone, abrasive and asbestos products, and

other products from materials taken principally from the

earth in the form of stone, clay, and sand.

Miscellaneous Manufacturing Industries

(SIC Major Group 39)

This major group includes establishments primarily engaged

in manufacturing products not classified in any other

manufacturing major group. Industries in this group fall into

the following categories: jewelry, silverware, and plated

ware; musical instruments; dolls, toys, games, and sporting

and athletic goods; pens, pencils, and artists’ materials;

buttons, costume novelties, miscellaneous notions; brooms

and brushes; caskets; and other miscellaneous manufacturing industries.

Wholesale Trade

(SIC Division F, Major Groups 50 and 51)

This division includes establishments or places of business primarily engaged in selling merchandise to retailers;

industrial, commercial, institutional, farm, or professional

business users; other wholesalers; or government agencies (Federal and local); or acting as agents or brokers in

buying merchandise for or selling merchandise to such

persons or companies. Importers selling merchandise at

wholesale and exporters also are included in wholesale

trade.

Durable Goods

(SIC Major Group 50)

This major group includes establishments primarily engaged

in the wholesale distribution of durable goods.

Nondurable Goods

(SIC Major Group 51)

This major group includes establishments primarily engaged

in the wholesale distribution of nondurable goods.

Retail Trade

(SIC Division G, Major Group 52 through 59)

This division 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.

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

are engaged in activities to attract the general public to

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

process their products, although processing is incidental or

subordinate to selling; and are considered as retail in the

trade. Not all of these characteristics need to be present

and some are modified by trade practices.

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

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

cigar store, etc.).

Kind-of-business classifications are not interchangeable

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

generally reflects either the individual commodity or the

commodity group which is the primary source of the

establishment’s receipts, or some mixture of commodities

which characterizes the establishment’s business. Thus,

the classification of establishments by kind of business

generally does not make it possible to determine either the

number of establishments handling a particular commodity

or the sales of that commodity. For example, the ‘‘food

 JOBNAME: No Job Name PAGE: 4 SESS: 16 OUTPUT: Tue May 9 16:15:07 1995 / pssw01/ disk2/ economic/ oa92e/ 7/ 14apdxa

stores’’ classification excludes stores selling food if the

sale of food is not the primary source of receipts; moreover, even though stores are classified as ‘‘food stores’’

some of their receipts may be derived from the sale of

nonfood products.

smoked and prepared meats, fresh fish and poultry, fresh

vegetables and fruits, and fresh or frozen meats. Establishments commonly known as supermarkets, food stores,

and delicatessens are included if receipts from sales of

groceries and food items for off-premise preparation and

consumption are 50 percent or more of total sales.
