Foreword

The Instituto Nacional de Estadística y Geografía (INEGI) of Mexico, Statistics Canada, and the 

United States Office of Management and Budget, through its Economic Classification Policy 

Committee, have jointly updated the system of classification of economic activities that makes the 

industrial statistics produced in the three countries comparable. The North American Industry 

Classification System (NAICS) revision for 2017 is scheduled to go into effect for reference year 

2017 in Canada and the United States, and 2018 in Mexico. NAICS was originally developed to 

provide a consistent framework for the collection, analysis, and dissemination of industrial statistics 

used by government policy analysts, by academics and researchers, by the business community, and 

by the public. Revisions for 2017 were made to account for our rapidly changing economies.

Classifications serve as a lens through which to view the data they classify. NAICS is the first 

industry classification system that was developed in accordance with a single principle of 

aggregation, the principle that producing units that use similar production processes should be 

grouped together. NAICS also reflects, in a much more explicit way, the enormous changes in 

technology and in the growth and diversification of services that have marked recent decades. 

Though NAICS differs from other industry classification systems, the three countries continue to 

strive to create industries that do not cross two-digit boundaries of the United Nations’ International 

Standard Industrial Classification of All Economic Activities (ISIC). 

The actual classification reveals only the tip of the work carried out by dedicated staff from 

INEGI, Statistics Canada, and U.S. statistical agencies. It is through their efforts, painstaking 

analysis, and spirit of accommodation that NAICS has emerged as a harmonized international

classification of economic activities in North America.

Preface

The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) represents a continuing 

cooperative effort among Statistics Canada, Mexico's Instituto Nacional de Estadística y Geografía 

(INEGI), and the Economic Classification Policy Committee (ECPC) of the United States, acting on 

behalf of the Office of Management and Budget, to create and maintain a common industry 

classification system. With its inception in 1997, NAICS replaced the existing classification of each 

country—the Standard Industrial Classification (1980) of Canada, the Mexican Classification of 

Activities and Products (1994), and the Standard Industrial Classification (1987) of the United 

States. Since 1997, the countries have collaborated in producing five-year revisions to NAICS in 

order to keep the classification system current with changes in economic activities.

The North American Industry Classification System is unique among industry classifications in 

that it is constructed within a single conceptual framework. Economic units that have similar 

production processes are classified in the same industry, and the lines drawn between industries 

demarcate, to the extent practicable, differences in production processes. This supply-based, or 

production-oriented, economic concept was adopted for NAICS because an industry classification 

system is a framework for collecting and publishing information on both inputs and outputs, for 

statistical uses that require that inputs and outputs be used together and be classified consistently. 

Examples of such uses include measuring productivity, unit labor costs, and the capital intensity of 

production, estimating employment-output relationships, constructing input-output tables, and other 

uses that imply the analysis of production relationships in the economy. The classification concept 

for NAICS leads to production of data that facilitate such analyses.

In the design of NAICS, attention was given to developing production-oriented classifications 

for (a) new and emerging industries, (b) service industries in general, and (c) industries engaged in 

the production of advanced technologies. These special emphases are embodied in the particular 

features of NAICS, discussed below. These same areas of special emphasis account for many of the 

differences between the structure of NAICS and the structures of industry classification systems in 

use elsewhere. NAICS provides enhanced industry comparability among the three North American 

Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) trading partners, while also increasing compatibility with the twodigit level of the International Standard Industrial Classification (ISIC, Rev. 4) of the United 

Nations.

NAICS divides the economy into 20 sectors. Industries within these sectors are grouped 

according to the production criterion. A key feature of NAICS is the Information sector that groups 

industries that primarily create and disseminate a product subject to copyright. The NAICS 

Information sector brings together those activities that transform information into a commodity that 

is produced and distributed, and activities that provide the means for distributing those products, 

other than through traditional wholesale-retail distribution channels. Industries included in this 

sector are telecommunications; broadcasting; newspaper, book, and periodical publishing; motion 

picture and sound recording industries; libraries; and other information services.

Another feature of NAICS is a sector for Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services that

comprises establishments engaged in activities where human capital is the major input. The 

industries within this sector are each defined by the expertise and training of the service provider. 

The sector includes such industries as offices of lawyers, engineering services, architectural 

services, advertising agencies, and interior design services.

A sector for Arts, Entertainment, and Recreation includes a wide range of establishments that 
4 NORTH AMERICAN INDUSTRY CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM

operate facilities or provide services to meet varied cultural, entertainment, and recreational interests 

of their patrons.

Another key sector, Health Care and Social Assistance, recognizes the merging of the boundaries 

of health care and social assistance. The industries in this sector are arranged in an order that reflects 

the range and extent of health care and social assistance provided. Some important industries are 

family planning centers, outpatient mental health and substance abuse centers, and continuing care 

retirement communities.

In the Manufacturing sector, an important subsector, Computer and Electronic Product 

Manufacturing, brings together industries producing electronic products and their components. The 

manufacturers of computers, communications equipment, and semiconductors, for example, are 

grouped into the same subsector because of the inherent technological similarities of their 

production processes, and the likelihood that these technologies will continue to converge in the 

future. NAICS acknowledges the importance of these electronic industries, their rapid growth over 

the past several decades and the likelihood that these industries will, in the future, become even 

more important in the economies of the three North American countries.

This NAICS structure reflects the levels at which data comparability was agreed upon by the 

three countries' statistical agencies. The boundaries of all the sectors of NAICS are delineated. In 

most sectors, NAICS provides for comparability at the industry (five-digit) level. However, for one 

of the three subsectors in Mining, Quarrying, and Oil and Gas Extraction, one of the three 

industry groups in Utilities, one of the ten industry groups in Construction, two of the four 

subsectors in Finance and Insurance, one of the three industry groups in the Real Estate 

subsector, and two of the four subsectors in Other Services (except Public Administration),

three-country comparability occurs either at the industry group (four-digit) or subsector (threedigit) level. For these sectors or subsectors, differences in the economies of the three countries 

prevent full comparability at the NAICS industry level. For Retail Trade, Wholesale Trade, and 

Public Administration, the three countries' statistical agencies have agreed, at this time, only on the 

boundaries of the sector (two-digit level). Below the agreed upon level of comparability, each 

country may add additional detailed industries, as necessary to meet national needs, provided that 

this additional detail aggregates to the NAICS level.

The United States has adopted the revised classification in their statistical programs for the 

reference year beginning in 2017.

Acknowledgments

This 2017 revision of the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) was an 

immense undertaking requiring the time, energy, creativity, and cooperation of numerous people 

and organizations throughout the three countries. The work that has been accomplished is a 

testament to the individual and collective willingness of many persons and organizations both inside 

and outside the government to contribute to the development of NAICS. Within the United States, 

NAICS was revised under the guidance of the Office of Management and Budget by the Economic 

Classification Policy Committee (ECPC). Members of the ECPC were Dennis Fixler and Edward 

T. Morgan, Bureau of Economic Analysis, U.S. Department of Commerce; William G. Bostic, Jr.

(retired) and John B. Murphy (Chair), Bureau of the Census, U.S. Department of Commerce; 

David Talan, Bureau of Labor Statistics, U.S. Department of Labor; and ex officio, Paul Bugg

(retired), Office of Management and Budget.

In addition to the parties listed above, OMB would like to acknowledge the dedicated staff of the 

Classification Development Branch at the Bureau of the Census. This staff was responsible for 

researching, summarizing, and making preliminary recommendations to the ECPC for comments 

received from the public on 2017 NAICS revisions; for preparing documents summarizing the 

ECPC position for use in negotiations with Canada and Mexico; and for preparing all of the 

manuscript files for the published manual. It was their hard work and dedication that resulted in 

this complete documentation of 2017 NAICS United States.

Introduction

Background

In 1937, the Central Statistical Board established an Interdepartmental Committee on 

Industrial Classification ''to develop a plan of classification of various types of statistical data by 

industries and to promote the general adoption of such classification as the standard 

classification of the Federal Government.''

1 The List of Industries for manufacturing was first 

available in 1938, with the List of Industries for nonmanufacturing following in 1939. These 

Lists of Industries became the first Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) for the United States.

The SIC was developed for use in the classification of establishments by type of activity in 

which they are primarily engaged; for purposes of facilitating the collection, tabulation, 

presentation, and analysis of data relating to establishments; and for promoting uniformity and 

comparability in the presentation of statistical data collected by various agencies of the United 

States Government, State agencies, trade associations, and private research organizations. The 

SIC covered the entire field of economic activities by defining industries in accordance with the 

composition and structure of the economy.

Since the inception of the SIC in the 1930’s, the system was periodically revised to reflect the 

economy's changing industrial composition and organization. The last revision of the SIC was in 

1987.

Rapid changes in both the U.S. and world economies brought the SIC under increasing 

criticism. In 1991, an International Conference on the Classification of Economic Activities was 

convened in Williamsburg, Virginia, to provide a forum for responding to such criticism and to 

explore new approaches to classifying economic activity. In July 1992, the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) established the Economic Classification Policy Committee 

(ECPC) and charged it with a ''fresh slate'' examination of economic classifications for statistical 

purposes. The ECPC prepared a number of issue papers regarding classification, consulted with 

outside users, and ultimately joined with Mexico's Instituto Nacional de Estadística, Geografía e 

Informática (now the Instituto Nacional de Estadística y Geografía) (INEGI) and Statistics 

Canada to develop the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS), which replaced 

the 1987 U.S. SIC and the classification systems of Canada (1980 SIC) and Mexico (1994 

Mexican Classification of Activities and Products (CMAP)).

The dynamic nature of world economies continues to affect classification systems. The 

creators of NAICS agreed that the classification system should be reviewed every five years, and 

revised as appropriate to reflect the changing economies of the three countries. The U.S. 

statistical programs implemented NAICS for the first time in 1997. NAICS was revised in 2002, 

2007, and 2012. This 2017 NAICS revision was undertaken to achieve one main goal—to 

modify or create industries to reflect new, emerging, or changing activities and technologies. 

The impact of NAICS on various countries has brought about a renewed effort for additional 

convergence with the many industry classifications used throughout the world. Future revisions 

of NAICS will continue to strive for greater global comparability.

14 NORTH AMERICAN INDUSTRY CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM

census.gov/naics

Purpose of NAICS

NAICS is an industry classification system that groups establishments into industries based on 

the similarity of their production processes. It is a comprehensive system covering all economic 

activities. There are 20 sectors and 1,057 industries in 2017 NAICS United States.

NAICS was initially developed and subsequently revised by Mexico's INEGI, Statistics 

Canada, and the U.S. ECPC (the latter acting on behalf of OMB) to provide common industry 

definitions for Canada, Mexico, and the United States that will facilitate economic analyses of 

the economies of the three North American countries. The statistical agencies in the three 

countries produce information on inputs and outputs, industrial performance, productivity, unit 

labor costs, and employment. NAICS, which is based on a production-oriented concept, ensures 

maximum usefulness of industrial statistics for these and similar purposes.

NAICS United States is used by U.S. statistical agencies to facilitate the collection, tabulation, 

presentation, and analysis of data relating to establishments; and to provide uniformity and 

comparability in the presentation of statistical data describing the U.S. economy. NAICS United 

States is designed for statistical purposes. Although the classification also may be used for 

various administrative, regulatory, and taxation purposes, the requirements of government 

agencies that use it for nonstatistical purposes played no role in its development or subsequent 

revision.

Development of NAICS as a Replacement for the U.S. SIC

The U.S. ECPC established by OMB in 1992 was chaired by the Bureau of Economic 

Analysis, U.S. Department of Commerce, with representatives from the Bureau of the Census, 

U.S. Department of Commerce, and the Bureau of Labor Statistics, U.S. Department of Labor. 

The ECPC was asked to examine economic classifications for statistical purposes and to 

determine the desirability of developing a new industry classification system for the United 

States based on a single economic concept. On March 31, 1993, OMB published a Federal 

Register notice (58 FR 16990-17004) announcing the intention to revise the SIC for 1997, the 

establishment of the ECPC, and the process for revising the SIC.

In July 1994, OMB announced plans to develop a new industry classification system in 

cooperation with Mexico's INEGI and Statistics Canada. The new system—NAICS—replaced 

the U.S. SIC. The concepts of the new system and the principles upon which NAICS was to be 

developed were announced in a July 26, 1994, Federal Register notice (59 FR 38092-38096) 

and were as follows:

1. NAICS will be erected on a production-oriented or supply-based conceptual framework. 

This means that producing units that use identical or similar production processes will be 

grouped together in NAICS.

2. The system will give special attention to developing production-oriented classifications for 

(a) new and emerging industries, (b) service industries in general, and (c) industries engaged in 

the production of advanced technologies.

3. Time series continuity will be maintained to the greatest extent possible. However, changes 

in the economy and proposals from data users must be considered. In addition, adjustments will 

be required for sectors where the United States, Canada, and Mexico have incompatible industry 
INTRODUCTION 15

census.gov/naics

classification definitions in order to produce a common industry system for all three North 

American countries.

4. The system will strive for compatibility with the two-digit level of the International 

Standard Industrial Classification of All Economic Activities (ISIC, Rev. 3) of the United 

Nations.

The structure of NAICS was developed in a series of meetings among the three countries. 

Public proposals for individual industries from all three countries were considered for acceptance 

if the proposed industry was based on the production-oriented concept of the system. In the 

United States, public comments also were solicited as groups of subsectors of NAICS were 

completed and agreed upon by the three countries. The ECPC published the proposed industries 

for those subsectors in a series of five successive Federal Register notices, in 1995 and 1996, 

asking for comments from interested data users.

Revision of NAICS for 2017

OMB published a notification of potential revision to NAICS for 2017 in a May 22, 2014, 

Federal Register notice (79 FR 29626-29629). This notice solicited comments on: 1) new and 

emerging industries for consideration in potential revisions to NAICS for 2017; 2) the electronic 

dissemination of NAICS 2017; and 3) updating the structure of the oil and gas industries for 

NAICS 2017. This notice also provided an update on the treatment of manufacturing units that 

outsource all transformation activities. In addition, OMB published a notification regarding 

implementation of the Factoryless Goods Producer (FGP) classification in NAICS 2017 in an 

August 8, 2014, Federal Register notice (79 FR 46558-46559). This notice stated the directive 

of the August 17, 2011, Federal Register notice (76 FR 51240-51243) was no longer in force, to 

allow for additional research, testing, and evaluation of FGPs.

After considering all proposals from the public, consulting with a number of U.S. data users and 

industry groups, and undertaking extensive discussions with Statistics Canada and Mexico's 

Instituto Nacional de Estadística y Geografía (INEGI), the ECPC formulated a set of 

recommendations for revisions to NAICS for 2017. OMB published a solicitation of public 

comments on these recommendations in an August 4, 2015, Federal Register notice (80 FR 46480-

46484). After reviewing comments to that notice and conducting further consultation with data 

users and industry groups, OMB decided to adopt the ECPC recommendations presented in the 

August 4, 2015, notice. OMB published a notice of final decisions regarding NAICS revisions for 

2017 in an August 8, 2016, Federal Register notice (81 FR 52584).

Conceptual Framework

NAICS is erected on a production-oriented or supply-based conceptual framework that groups 

establishments into industries according to similarity in the processes used to produce goods or 

services. A production-oriented industry classification system ensures that statistical agencies in 

the three countries can produce information on inputs and outputs, industrial performance,

productivity, unit labor costs, employment, and other statistics and structural changes occurring 

in each of the three economies.

When an industry is defined on a production-oriented concept, producing units within the 
16 NORTH AMERICAN INDUSTRY CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM

census.gov/naics

industry's boundaries share a basic production process; they use closely similar technology. In 

the language of economics, producing units within an industry share the same production 

functions; producing units in different industries have different production functions. The 

boundaries between industries thus demarcate, in principle, differences in production processes 

and production technologies.

The reasoning behind the three countries' decision to base NAICS on a production-oriented 

concept is summarized as follows: An industry is a grouping of economic activities. Though it 

inevitably groups the products of the economic activities that are included in the industry 

definition, it is not solely a grouping of products; put another way, an industry groups producing 

units. Accordingly, an industry classification system provides a framework for collecting data on 

inputs and outputs together.

The uses of economic data that require that data on inputs and outputs be used together and be 

collected on the same basis include production analyses, productivity measurement, and studying 

input usage and input intensities. The North American statistical agencies developed NAICS 

using a production-oriented concept as the framework for two reasons: (1) an industry 

classification system groups producing units, not products or services; and (2) groupings of 

producing units permit the collection of data on inputs and outputs on a comparable basis, which 

is required for production-oriented analysis, but do not facilitate a comprehensive collection of 

data on the total output of any particular good or service, which is required for market-oriented 

analysis. Thus, the efficient organizing concept of an industry classification system is 

production-oriented rather than market-oriented.

The structure of NAICS is hierarchical. The first two digits of the structure designate the 

NAICS sectors that represent general categories of economic activities.

NAICS classifies all economic activities into 20 sectors. The NAICS sectors, their two-digit 

codes, and the distinguishing activities of each are:

11 Agriculture, Forestry, Fishing and Hunting—Activities of this sector are growing crops, 

raising animals, harvesting timber, and harvesting fish and other animals from farms, ranches, or 

the animals' natural habitats.

21 Mining, Quarrying, and Oil and Gas Extraction—Activities of this sector are extracting 

naturally occurring mineral solids, such as coal and ore; liquid minerals, such as crude 

petroleum; and gases, such as natural gas; and beneficiating (e.g., crushing, screening, washing, 

and flotation) and other preparation at the mine site, or as part of mining activity.

22 Utilities—Activities of this sector are generating, transmitting, and/or distributing 

electricity, gas, steam, and water and removing sewage through a permanent infrastructure of 

lines, mains, and pipe.

23 Construction—Activities of this sector are erecting buildings and other structures 

(including additions); heavy construction other than buildings; and alterations, reconstruction, 

installation, and maintenance and repairs.
INTRODUCTION 17

31-33 Manufacturing—Activities of this sector are the mechanical, physical, or chemical 

transformation of materials, substances, or components into new products.

42 Wholesale Trade—Activities of this sector are selling or arranging for the purchase or 

sale of goods for resale; capital or durable nonconsumer goods; and raw and intermediate 

materials and supplies used in production, and providing services incidental to the sale of the 

merchandise.

44-45 Retail Trade—Activities of this sector are retailing merchandise generally in small 

quantities to the general public and providing services incidental to the sale of the merchandise.

48-49 Transportation and Warehousing—Activities of this sector are providing

transportation of passengers and cargo, warehousing and storing goods, scenic and sightseeing 

transportation, and supporting these activities.

51 Information—Activities of this sector are distributing information and cultural products, 

providing the means to transmit or distribute these products as data or communications, and 

processing data.

52 Finance and Insurance—Activities of this sector involve the creation, liquidation, or 

change in ownership of financial assets (financial transactions) and/or facilitating financial 

transactions.

53 Real Estate and Rental and Leasing—Activities of this sector are renting, leasing, or 

otherwise allowing the use of tangible or intangible assets (except copyrighted works), and 

providing related services.

54 Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services—Activities of this sector are performing 

professional, scientific, and technical services for the operations of other organizations.

55 Management of Companies and Enterprises—Activities of this sector are the holding of 

securities of companies and enterprises, for the purpose of owning controlling interest or 

influencing their management decisions, or administering, overseeing, and managing other 

establishments of the same company or enterprise and normally undertaking the strategic or 

organizational planning and decision-making role of the company or enterprise.

56 Administrative and Support and Waste Management and Remediation Services—

Activities of this sector are performing routine support activities for the day-to-day operations of 

other organizations.

61 Educational Services—Activities of this sector are providing instruction and training in a 

wide variety of subjects.

62 Health Care and Social Assistance—Activities of this sector are providing health care

and social assistance for individuals.

71 Arts, Entertainment, and Recreation—Activities of this sector are operating or 

providing services to meet varied cultural, entertainment, and recreational interests of their 

patrons.

72 Accommodation and Food Services—Activities of this sector are providing customers 

with lodging and/or preparing meals, snacks, and beverages for immediate consumption.

81 Other Services (except Public Administration)—Activities of this sector are providing 

services not elsewhere specified, including repairs, religious activities, grantmaking, advocacy, 

laundry, personal care, death care, and other personal services.

92 Public Administration—Activities of this sector are administration, management, and 

oversight of public programs by Federal, State, and local governments.

NAICS uses a six-digit coding system to identify particular industries and their placement in 

this hierarchical structure of the classification system. The first two digits of the code designate 

the sector, the third digit designates the subsector, the fourth digit designates the industry group, 

the fifth digit designates the NAICS industry, and the sixth digit designates the national industry. 

A zero as the sixth digit generally indicates that the NAICS industry and the U.S. industry are the 

same.

The subsectors, industry groups, and NAICS industries, in accord with the conceptual 

principle of NAICS, are production-oriented combinations of establishments. However, the 

production distinctions become more narrowly defined as one moves down the hierarchy.

NAICS agreements permit each country to designate detailed industries, below the level of a 

NAICS industry, to meet national needs. The United States has such industry detail in many 

places in the classification system to recognize large, important U.S. industries that cannot be 

recognized in the other countries because of size, specialization, or organization of the industry.

Typically the level at which comparable data will be available for Canada, Mexico, and the 

United States is the five-digit NAICS industry; for some sectors (or subsectors or industry 

groups) however, the three countries agreed upon the boundaries at a higher level of detail rather 

than the detailed industry structure (five-digit). There is agreement at the sector level for 

Wholesale Trade; Retail Trade; and Public Administration. There is agreement either at the 

industry group (four-digit) or subsector (three-digit) level for one of the three subsectors in the 

Mining, Quarrying, and Oil and Gas Extraction sector, one of the three industry groups in the 

Utilities sector, one of the ten industry groups in the Construction sector, two of the four 

subsectors in the Finance and Insurance sector, one of the three industry groups in the Real 

Estate subsector, and two of the four subsectors in the Other Services (except Public 

Administration) sector.

Differences in the economies of the three countries or time constraints necessitated 

establishing comparability at a higher level of detail for the sectors and subsectors noted above. 

For each of these sectors, except Wholesale Trade and Public Administration, Canada and the 

United States have agreed upon an industry structure and hierarchy to ensure comparability of 

statistics between those two countries. Canada and the United States also have established the 
INTRODUCTION 19

same national detail (six-digit) industries where possible, adopting the same codes to describe 

comparable industries. For this reason, the numbers of the U.S. industries may not be 

consecutive. In a few cases, it was necessary for the United States to use all of the numbers 

available to establish its six-digit detail so that the same six-digit codes do not necessarily 

represent comparable industries in the U.S. and Canada.

NAICS with U.S. detail is known as NAICS United States, while Canada and Mexico 

produce six-digit detail and publish that detail as NAICS Canada and NAICS (SCIAN in 

Spanish) Mexico.

Definition of an Establishment

NAICS is a classification system for establishments. The establishment as a statistical unit is 

defined as the smallest operating entity for which records provide information on the cost of 

resources—materials, labor, and capital—employed to produce the units of output. The output 

may be sold to other establishments and receipts or sales recorded, or the output may be provided 

without explicit charge, that is, the good or service may be ''sold'' within the company itself.

The establishment, in NAICS United States, is generally a single physical location where 

business is conducted or where services or industrial operations are performed (for example, a 

factory, mill, store, hotel, movie theater, mine, farm, airline terminal, sales office, warehouse, or 

central administrative office). There are cases where records identify distinct and separate 

economic activities performed at a single physical location (e.g., shops in a hotel). These 

retailing activities, operated out of the same physical location as the hotel, are identified as 

separate establishments and classified in the Retail Trade sector, while the hotel is classified in 

the Accommodation subsector. In such cases, each activity is treated as a separate establishment 

provided: (1) no one industry description in the classification includes such combined activities; 

(2) separate reports can be prepared on the number of employees, their wages and salaries, sales 

or receipts, and expenses; and (3) employment and output are significant for both activities.

Exceptions to the single location exist for physically dispersed operations, such as 

construction, transportation, and telecommunications. For these activities the individual sites, 

projects, fields, networks, lines, or systems of such dispersed activities are not normally 

considered to be establishments. The establishment is represented by those relatively permanent 

main or branch offices, terminals, stations, and so forth, that are either (1) directly responsible 

for supervising such activities, or (2) the base from which personnel operate to carry out these 

activities.

Although an establishment may be identical with the enterprise (company), the two terms 

should not be confused. An enterprise (company) may consist of more than one establishment. 

Such multiunit enterprises may have establishments in more than one industry in NAICS. If such 

enterprises have a separate establishment primarily engaged in providing headquarters services, 

these establishments are classified in Sector 55, Management of Companies and Enterprises.

Although all establishments have output, they may or may not have receipts. In large 

enterprises, it is not unusual for establishments to exist to solely serve other establishments of the 

same enterprise (auxiliary, or enterprise support, establishments). In such cases, these units often 

do not collect receipts from the establishments they serve. This type of support (captive) activity 

is found throughout the economy and involves goods-producing activities as well as services. 

Units that carry out support activities for the enterprise to which they belong are classified, to the 
20 NORTH AMERICAN INDUSTRY CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM

census.gov/naics

extent feasible, according to the NAICS code related to their own activity. This means that 

warehouses providing storage facilities for their own enterprise are classified as warehouses. 

For certain analytical purposes, an alternative code may be assigned corresponding to the activity 

of the enterprise that they support.

Determining an Establishment’s Industry Classification

An establishment is classified in an industry when its primary activity meets the definition for 

that industry. Because establishments may perform more than one activity, it is necessary to 

determine procedures for identifying the primary activity of the establishment.

In most cases, if an establishment is engaged in more than one activity, the industry code is 

assigned based on the establishment's principal product or group of products produced or 

distributed, or services rendered. Ideally, the principal good or service should be determined by 

its relative share of current production costs and capital investment at the establishment. In 

practice, however, it is often necessary to use other variables such as revenue, shipments, or 

employment as proxies for measuring significance.

There are two types of combined activities that are given special attention in NAICS. They 

are vertical integration and joint production. These combined activities have an economic basis 

and occur in both goods-producing and services-producing sectors. In some cases, there are 

efficiencies to be gained from combining certain activities in the same establishment. Some of 

these combinations occur so commonly or frequently that their combination can be treated as a 

third activity in its own right and explicitly classified in a specific industry.

One approach to classifying these activities would be to use the primary activity rule, that is, 

whichever activity is largest. However, the fundamental principle of NAICS is that 

establishments that employ the same production process should be classified in the same 

industry. If the premise that the combined activities correspond to a distinct third activity is 

accepted, then using the primary activity rule would place establishments performing the same 

combination of activities in different industries, thereby violating the production principle of 

NAICS. A second reason for NAICS recognizing combined activities is to improve the stability 

of establishment classification, both over time and among the various agencies that implement 

the classification. An establishment should remain classified in the same industry unless its 

production process changes, and different agencies should code the same establishment or type 

of establishment in the same way. A consistent treatment of establishments with combined 

activities is more likely if they are classified to a single industry.

Vertical integration involves consecutive stages of fabrication or production processes in 

which the output of one step is the input of the next. In general, establishments are classified

based on the final process in a vertically integrated production environment, unless specifically 

identified as classified in another industry. For example, paper may be produced either by 

establishments that first produce pulp and then consume that pulp to produce paper or by those 

establishments producing paper from purchased pulp. NAICS explicitly specifies that both of 

these types of paper-producing processes should be classified in NAICS 32212, Paper Mills, the 

final step in paper manufacturing, rather than in NAICS 32211, Pulp Mills. In other cases, 

NAICS specifies that vertically integrated establishments are classified in the industry 

representing the first stage of the manufacturing process. For example, steel mills that make steel 

and also perform other activities such as producing steel castings are classified in NAICS 33111, 
INTRODUCTION 21

census.gov/naics

Iron and Steel Mills and Ferroalloy Manufacturing, the first stage of the manufacturing process.

The joint production of goods or services represents the second type of combined activities. 

For example, automobile dealers both sell and repair autos; automotive parts dealers may both 

sell parts and repair automobiles; and musical instrument stores may both sell and rent 

instruments. In the Manufacturing sector, establishments may make two different products such 

as men’s suits and women's suits, activities that are classified in two different NAICS United 

States detailed industries. In general, receipts/sales and revenue data are used as a proxy to 

determine primary activity for these establishments. The assumption is that the activity 

generating the most receipts is also the activity using the most resources and most indicative of 

the production process.

In some cases, however, these combined activities have been assigned to a specific NAICS 

industry. Most of these activities involve either the sale and repair of goods or the sale and rental 

of goods in the same establishment. For example, establishments that both sell automobile parts 

and repair automobiles are classified in NAICS 44131, Automotive Parts and Accessories Stores, 

and music stores that both sell and rent musical instruments are classified in NAICS 45114, 

Musical Instrument and Supplies Stores. In other cases, specific industries are identified for these 

combined activities, such as NAICS 44711, Gasoline Stations with Convenience Stores.

Classification rules related to the agreement to permit individual country detail at the six-digit 

level for NAICS sometimes result in less comparable NAICS industries at the five-digit level and 

above. For example in NAICS, the assignment of the industry code is at the most detailed level 

of the classification (the six-digit U.S. detail code), except for Agriculture. That is, if the value of 

an establishment's production consists of 30 percent from computers, 30 percent from computer 

storage devices, and 40 percent from semiconductors and related devices, it is classified in U.S. 

detail industry 334413, Semiconductor and Related Device Manufacturing, that is aggregated to 

NAICS 33441, Semiconductor and Other Electronic Component Manufacturing, the level that 

comparable information is shown for all three countries. If the classification for the above 

example were at the five-digit NAICS level, that establishment would be classified in NAICS 

33411, Computer and Peripheral Equipment Manufacturing. There would then be more 

comparable information at the NAICS level, but it would be impossible to classify this 

establishment to a U.S. detail six-digit industry.

In Agriculture, however, NAICS coding begins at the top of the structure and continues down 

to the most detailed level (the six-digit U.S. detail code). The existence of a 50 percent rule in 

Agriculture and the presence of combination industries based on families of related agricultural 

products with none accounting for 50 percent or more of production require a top down coding 

procedure rather than coding at the most detailed level first as is done in the balance of the 

classification.

Use of Reporting Units Other than Establishments

NAICS is based on the economic principle that establishments should be grouped together 

based on their production processes. The NAICS definition of the establishment ensures that, at 

some level, “establishments”: (1) identify the most refined (generally smallest) individual entity 

possible; (2) can provide the information needed when surveying economic activity; and (3) 

when aggregated, approximate the statistical universe of economic activity. Each economic 

survey program, in practice, determines whether the establishment is the most appropriate 
22 NORTH AMERICAN INDUSTRY CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM

census.gov/naics

reporting unit to meet the three criteria listed above with respect to the program’s objectives. If 

not, an alternative reporting unit is identified.

For example, an economic survey of employment or wage data may choose the 

establishment—generally a physical location—as the reporting unit. Physical locations generally 

have records for the number of employees and their wages readily available. Therefore, it is 

reasonable to expect that separate wage and employment data are available for each switching 

station in a multiunit telecommunications carrier enterprise and the physical location is a logical 

choice for the reporting unit.

If the economic survey collects output data, the individual switching stations would not have the 

total number of telephone calls or a complete accounting of inputs and outputs of the multiunit 

telecommunications carrier. If a telephone call is routed through three different switching stations 

and the price is determined at a fourth location, all of the related locations would need to be merged 

into an alternative reporting unit to measure the volume and value of the output. In this case, the 

physical location is not an appropriate reporting unit. The level of aggregation of physical units 

required to create reporting units will vary greatly depending on the business activity being studied. 

To efficiently define reporting units, statistical surveys need to evaluate the characteristics of the 

activities being studied and the organizational structure of the entities producing goods or services. 

In some cases, the physical location is appropriate, sometimes units will need to be grouped based 

on homogeneous production characteristics or geographical groupings, and in other cases, the 

enterprise (company) may form the most appropriate reporting unit.

The practical variation in reporting unit definitions affects comparability of data. A count of 

units defined as physical locations will be different from a count of units defined based on the 

need for complete input and output records in the telecommunications industries. It is critical 

that each data provider clearly identify the reporting unit definition used when presenting 

summary statistics. The analysis of statistical data from a variety of sources requires the 

transparency of clearly defined reporting units.

While the reporting unit definition can vary, NAICS is a classification system for 

establishments and is based on grouping establishments with similar production function 

characteristics.

Comparison of NAICS to the International Standard Industrial Classification of All 

Economic Activities (ISIC)

Recognizing the need for international comparability of economic statistics, the United 

Nations (UN) first adopted an International Standard Industrial Classification system in 1948. 

Revisions to the ISIC structure and codes were adopted by the UN's Statistical Commission in 

1958, 1968, 1989, 2002, and 2007.2

Similar to NAICS, ISIC was designed primarily to provide classifications for grouping activities 

(rather than enterprises or firms), and the primary focus for the ISIC classification system is the kind 

of activity in which establishments or other statistical entities are engaged. The main criteria 

employed in delineating divisions and groups (the two- and three-digit categories, respectively) of 

ISIC are: (a) the character of the goods and services produced; (b) the uses to which the goods and 

services are put; and (c) the inputs, the process, and the technology of production.

Rev. 4, United Nations, New York, 2008.
INTRODUCTION 23

census.gov/naics

The third classification criterion of the ISIC is the conceptual foundation of NAICS, and thus, 

NAICS is aligned more closely with ISIC than was the 1987 SIC system. However, there are 

differences between the NAICS and ISIC classification schemes. Most important, perhaps, is the 

single (production process) conceptual framework of NAICS. As noted elsewhere, this is unique 

among industry classifications.

ISIC, Rev. 4, groups economic activity into 21 broad Sections, 88 Divisions, 238 Groups, and 

420 Classes. In the coding system, Sections are distinguished by the letters A through U, and the 

Divisions, Groups, and Classes are identified as the two-digit, three-digit, and four-digit 

groupings, respectively. As was the case with 2007 NAICS, the most recent revision of ISIC also 

focused on improvements to the detail in services sections.

In the development and subsequent revision of NAICS industries, the statistical agencies of 

the three countries strove to create industries that did not cross ISIC two-digit boundaries. The 

2007 revisions of the NAICS and ISIC increased comparability beyond previous levels. Similar 

to the 2012 NAICS revision, this 2017 NAICS revision maintains a similar level of 

comparability with ISIC, Rev. 4.

Frequently Asked Questions About Economic Classifications

1. What is the purpose of an industry classification system?

 An industry classification system facilitates the collection, tabulation, presentation, and 

analysis of data relating to establishments and ensures that data about the U.S. economy 

published by U.S. statistical agencies are uniform and comparable. NAICS ensures that such 

data are uniform and comparable among Canada, Mexico, and the United States.

2. What is an establishment?

 An establishment is generally a single, physical location at which economic activity occurs 

(e.g., store, factory, farm, etc.). An enterprise consists of one or more locations that are more 

than 50 percent owned by the same entity performing the same or different types of 

economic activities. Each establishment of that enterprise is assigned a NAICS code, based 

on its own primary activity.

3. How can I determine the correct NAICS code for my business?

 To determine the correct NAICS code for your establishment, first identify the primary 

business activity. Then refer either to: 1) the NAICS United States Structure near the 

beginning of the manual to search the titles from the 2-digit level down through the 6-digit, 

more detailed level, to find the appropriate code; or 2) the Alphabetic Index at the back of 

the book to search alphabetically for the primary activity and its corresponding code. Next, 

turn to the industry description of the specified code in Part I of the manual, read the full 

description of the industry (including the narrative, cross-references, and illustrative 

examples), and determine if that description fits the activities of your establishment. 

Electronic references are available at census.gov/naics.

4. Who assigns NAICS codes to businesses and how?

 There is no central government agency with the role of assigning, monitoring, or 

approving NAICS codes for establishments. Different agencies maintain their own lists of 

business establishments to meet their own programmatic needs. These different agencies 

use their own methods for assigning NAICS codes to the establishments on their lists. 

Statistical agencies assign one NAICS code to each establishment based on its primary 

activity. For example, the Social Security Administration assigns a NAICS code to new 

businesses based on information provided on their application for an Employer 

Identification Number. The Census Bureau generally assigns NAICS codes to businesses 

on its list of establishments based on information provided by the business on a survey or 

census report form. The Bureau of Labor Statistics initially assigns NAICS codes based 

on business activity information provided on an application for unemployment insurance.

5. How do I apply for a NAICS code?

 A business does not ‘apply’ for a NAICS code. As explained above, statistical agencies 

generally assign NAICS codes based on information provided by a business on an 

application form, an administrative report, or on a survey or census report form.

6. How can I get a new NAICS code created for my type of business?

 Every five years NAICS is reviewed for potential revisions, so that the classification 

system can keep pace with the changing economy. This is the only time that new NAICS 

codes can be considered. The Office of Management and Budget (OMB), through its 

Economic Classification Policy Committee (ECPC), will solicit public comments 

regarding changes to NAICS through a notice published in the Federal Register. The 

notice will provide details of the format in which comments should be submitted, how 

and to whom they should be submitted, and the deadline for submission. Generally, the 

comment period will close 90 days after publication of the notice. During that time, 

suggestions for new and emerging industries can be submitted to the ECPC. The next 

scheduled review of NAICS will be for a potential 2022 revision.

7. What is the relationship between NAICS and the Small Business Administration's (SBA) size 

standards?

 NAICS categories do not distinguish between small and large business, or between forprofit and non-profit. The Small Business Administration (SBA) develops size standards 

for each NAICS category. To find more information about the SBA size standards, or 

when the SBA will update their size standards to reflect 2017 NAICS revisions, visit the 

SBA Web site at www.sba.gov/size/indexsize.html. You may also contact SBA's Office 

of Size Standards on 202-205-6618 or via email to sizestandards@sba.gov.

8. How do the NAICS codes affect federal procurement and regulatory activities, such as those 

carried out by the Environmental Protection Agency, OSHA, the Department of Defense, and 

the General Services Administration?

 NAICS was developed specifically for the collection and publication of statistical data to 

foster the comparability of economic estimates for Canada, Mexico, and the United 

States. The NAICS categories and definitions were not developed to meet the needs of 

procurement and/or regulatory applications. However, other federal agencies and other 

organizations have adopted NAICS for procurement and regulatory purposes even though 

it does not entirely fit their specific needs. For questions regarding these agencies' use of 

the NAICS system, contact the specific agency.

Sector 11--Agriculture, Forestry, Fishing and HuntingT

The Sector as a Whole

 The Agriculture, Forestry, Fishing and Hunting sector comprises establishments primarily engaged in growing 

crops, raising animals, harvesting timber, and harvesting fish and other animals from a farm, ranch, or their natural 

habitats.

 The establishments in this sector are often described as farms, ranches, dairies, greenhouses, nurseries, orchards, 

or hatcheries. A farm may consist of a single tract of land or a number of separate tracts which may be held under 

different tenures. For example, one tract may be owned by the farm operator and another rented. It may be operated 

by the operator alone or with the assistance of members of the household or hired employees, or it may be operated 

by a partnership, corporation, or other type of organization. When a landowner has one or more tenants, renters, 

croppers, or managers, the land operated by each is considered a farm.

 The sector distinguishes two basic activities: agricultural production and agricultural support activities. 

Agricultural production includes establishments performing the complete farm or ranch operation, such as farm 

owner-operators and tenant farm operators. Agricultural support activities include establishments that perform one 

or more activities associated with farm operation, such as soil preparation, planting, harvesting, and management, on 

a contract or fee basis.

 Excluded from the Agriculture, Forestry, Fishing and Hunting sector are establishments primarily engaged in 

agricultural research and establishments primarily engaged in administering programs for regulating and conserving 

land, mineral, wildlife, and forest use. These establishments are classified in Industry 54171, Research and 

Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences; and Industry 92412, Administration of Conservation 

Programs, respectively.

111 Crop ProductionT

 Industries in the Crop Production subsector grow crops mainly for food and fiber. The subsector comprises 

establishments, such as farms, orchards, groves, greenhouses, and nurseries, primarily engaged in growing crops, 

plants, vines, or trees and their seeds.

 The industries in this subsector are grouped by similarity of production activity, including biological and 

physiological characteristics and economic requirements, the length of growing season, degree of crop rotation, 

extent of input specialization, labor requirements, and capital demands. The production process is typically 

completed when the raw product or commodity grown reaches the "farm gate" for market, that is, at the point of first 

sale or price determination. 

 Establishments are classified in the Crop Production subsector when crop production (i.e., value of crops for 

market) accounts for one-half or more of the establishment's total agricultural production. Within the subsector, 

establishments are classified in a specific industry when a product or industry family of products (i.e., oilseed and 

grain farming, vegetable and melon farming, fruit and tree nut farming) account for one-half or more of the 

establishment's agricultural production. Establishments with one-half or more crop production with no one product 

or family of products of an industry accounting for one-half of the establishment's agricultural production are treated 

as general combination crop farming and are classified in Industry 11199, All Other Crop Farming. 

 Industries in the Crop Production subsector include establishments that own, operate, and manage and those that 

operate and manage. Those that manage only are classified in Subsector 115, Support Activities for Agriculture and 

Forestry. Establishments that raise aquatic plants in controlled or selected aquatic environments are classified in 

Subsector 112, Animal Production and Aquaculture.

112 Animal Production and AquacultureT

 Industries in the Animal Production and Aquaculture subsector raise or fatten animals for the sale of animals or 

animal products and/or raise aquatic plants and animals in controlled or selected aquatic environments for the sale of 

aquatic plants, animals, or their products. The subsector includes establishments, such as ranches, farms, and 

feedlots, primarily engaged in keeping, grazing, breeding, or feeding animals. These animals are kept for the 

products they produce or for eventual sale. The animals are generally raised in various environments, from total 

confinement or captivity to feeding on an open range pasture.

 The industries in this subsector are grouped by important factors, such as suitable grazing or pasture land, 

specialized buildings, type of equipment, and the amount and types of labor required. Establishments are classified 

in the Animal Production and Aquaculture subsector when animal production (i.e., value of animals for market) 

accounts for one-half or more of the establishment's total agricultural production. Establishments with one-half or 

more animal production with no one animal product or family of animal products of an industry accounting for onehalf of the establishment's agricultural production are treated as combination animal farming classified in Industry

113 Forestry and LoggingT

 Industries in the Forestry and Logging subsector grow and harvest timber on a long production cycle (i.e., of 10 

years or more). Long production cycles use different production processes than short production cycles, which 

require more horticultural interventions prior to harvest, resulting in processes more similar to those found in the 

Crop Production subsector. Consequently, Christmas tree production and other production involving production 

cycles of less than 10 years, are classified in the Crop Production subsector. 

 Industries in this subsector specialize in different stages of the production cycle. Reforestation requires production 

of seedlings in specialized nurseries. Timber production requires natural forest or suitable areas of land that are 

available for a long duration. The maturation time for timber depends upon the species of tree, the climatic 

conditions of the region, and the intended purpose of the timber. The harvesting of timber (except when done on an 

extremely small scale) requires specialized machinery unique to the industry. Establishments gathering forest 

products, such as gums, barks, balsam needles, rhizomes, fibers, Spanish moss, and ginseng and truffles, are also 

included in this subsector.

114 Fishing, Hunting and TrappingT

 Industries in the Fishing, Hunting and Trapping subsector harvest fish and other wild animals from their natural 

habitats and are dependent upon a continued supply of the natural resource. The harvesting of fish is the 

predominant economic activity of this subsector and it usually requires specialized vessels that, by the nature of their 

size, configuration and equipment, are not suitable for any other type of production, such as transportation. 

 Hunting and trapping activities utilize a wide variety of production processes and are classified in the same 

subsector as fishing because the availability of resources and the constraints imposed, such as conservation 

requirements and proper habitat maintenance, are similar.

occurring mineral solids, such as coal and ores; liquid minerals, such as crude petroleum; and gases, such as natural 

gas. The term mining is used in the broad sense to include quarrying, well operations, beneficiating (e.g., crushing, 

screening, washing, and flotation), and other preparation customarily performed at the mine site, or as a part of 

mining activity.

 The Mining, Quarrying, and Oil and Gas Extraction sector distinguishes two basic activities: mine operation and 

mining support activities. Mine operation includes establishments operating mines, quarries, or oil and gas wells on 

their own account or for others on a contract or fee basis. Mining support activities include establishments that 

perform exploration (except geophysical surveying) and/or other mining services on a contract or fee basis (except 

mine site preparation and construction of oil/gas pipelines).

 Establishments in the Mining, Quarrying, and Oil and Gas Extraction sector are grouped and classified according 

to the natural resource mined or to be mined. Industries include establishments that develop the mine site, extract 

the natural resources, and/or those that beneficiate (i.e., prepare) the mineral mined. Beneficiation is the process 

whereby the extracted material is reduced to particles that can be separated into mineral and waste, the former 

suitable for further processing or direct use. The operations that take place in beneficiation are primarily 

mechanical, such as grinding, washing, magnetic separation, and centrifugal separation. In contrast, manufacturing 

operations primarily use chemical and electrochemical processes, such as electrolysis and distillation. However, 

some treatments, such as heat treatments, take place in both the beneficiation and the manufacturing (i.e., 

smelting/refining) stages. The range of preparation activities varies by mineral and the purity of any given ore 

deposit. While some minerals, such as petroleum and natural gas, require little or no preparation, others are washed 

and screened, while yet others, such as gold and silver, can be transformed into bullion before leaving the mine site.

 Mining, beneficiating, and manufacturing activities often occur in a single location. Separate receipts will be 

collected for these activities whenever possible. When receipts cannot be broken out between mining and 

manufacturing, establishments that mine or quarry nonmetallic minerals, and then beneficiate the nonmetallic 

minerals into more finished manufactured products are classified based on the primary activity of the establishment. 

A mine that manufactures a small amount of finished products will be classified in Sector 21, Mining, Quarrying, 

and Oil and Gas Extraction. An establishment that mines whose primary output is a more finished manufactured 

product will be classified in Sector 31-33, Manufacturing.

211 Oil and Gas ExtractionT

 Industries in the Oil and Gas Extraction subsector operate and/or develop oil and gas field properties. Such 

activities may include exploration for crude petroleum and natural gas; drilling, completing, and equipping wells; 

operating separators, emulsion breakers, desilting equipment, and field gathering lines for crude petroleum and 

natural gas; and all other activities in the preparation of oil and gas up to the point of shipment from the producing 

property. This subsector includes the production of crude petroleum, the mining and extraction of oil from oil shale 

and oil sands, the production of natural gas, sulfur recovery from natural gas, and recovery of hydrocarbon liquids.

 Establishments in this subsector include those that operate oil and gas wells on their own account or for others on a 

contract or fee basis. Establishments primarily engaged in providing support services, on a contract or fee basis, 

required for the drilling or operation of oil and gas wells (except geophysical surveying and mapping, mine site 

preparation, and construction of oil/gas pipelines) are classified in Subsector 213, Support Activities for Mining.

212 Mining (except Oil and Gas)T

 Industries in the Mining (except Oil and Gas) subsector primarily engage in mining, mine site development, and 

beneficiating (i.e., preparing) metallic minerals and nonmetallic minerals, including coal. The term "mining" is used 

in the broad sense to include ore extraction, quarrying, and beneficiating (e.g., crushing, screening, washing, sizing, 

concentrating, and flotation), customarily done at the mine site.

 Beneficiation is the process whereby the extracted material is reduced to particles which can be separated into 

mineral and waste, the former suitable for further processing or direct use. The operations that take place in 

beneficiation are primarily mechanical, such as grinding, washing, magnetic separation, centrifugal separation, and 

so on. In contrast, manufacturing operations primarily use chemical and electrochemical processes, such as 

electrolysis, distillation, and so on. However some treatments, such as heat treatments, take place in both stages: the 

beneficiation and the manufacturing (i.e., smelting/refining) stages. The range of preparation activities varies by 

mineral and the purity of any given ore deposit. While some minerals, such as petroleum and natural gas, require 

little or no preparation, others are washed and screened, while yet others, such as gold and silver, can be transformed 

into bullion before leaving the mine site.

 Establishments in the Mining (except Oil and Gas) subsector include those that have complete responsibility for 

operating mines and quarries (except oil and gas wells) and those that operate mines and quarries (except oil and gas 

wells) for others on a contract or fee basis. Establishments primarily engaged in providing support services, on a

Sector 23--ConstructionT

The Sector as a Whole

 The Construction sector comprises establishments primarily engaged in the construction of buildings or 

engineering projects (e.g., highways and utility systems). Establishments primarily engaged in the preparation of 

sites for new construction and establishments primarily engaged in subdividing land for sale as building sites also 

are included in this sector.

 Construction work done may include new work, additions, alterations, or maintenance and repairs. Activities of 

these establishments generally are managed at a fixed place of business, but they usually perform construction 

activities at multiple project sites. Production responsibilities for establishments in this sector are usually specified 

in (1) contracts with the owners of construction projects (prime contracts) or (2) contracts with other construction 

establishments (subcontracts).

 Establishments primarily engaged in contracts that include responsibility for all aspects of individual construction 

projects are commonly known as general contractors, but also may be known as design-builders, construction 

managers, turnkey contractors, or (in cases where two or more establishments jointly secure a general contract) 

joint-venture contractors. Construction managers that provide oversight and scheduling only (i.e., agency) as well as 

construction managers that are responsible for the entire project (i.e., at risk) are included as general contractor type 

establishments. Establishments of the "general contractor type" frequently arrange construction of separate parts of 

their projects through subcontracts with other construction establishments.

 Establishments primarily engaged in activities to produce a specific component (e.g., masonry, painting, and 

electrical work) of a construction project are commonly known as specialty trade contractors. Activities of specialty 

trade contractors are usually subcontracted from other construction establishments, but especially in remodeling and 

repair construction, the work may be done directly for the owner of the property.

 Establishments primarily engaged in activities to construct buildings to be sold on sites that they own are known as 

for-sale builders, but also may be known as speculative builders or merchant builders. For-sale builders produce 

buildings in a manner similar to general contractors, but their production processes also include site acquisition and 

securing of financial backing. For-sale builders are most often associated with the construction of residential 

buildings. Like general contractors, they may subcontract all or part of the actual construction work on their 

buildings.

 There are substantial differences in the types of equipment, work force skills, and other inputs required by 

establishments in this sector. To highlight these differences and variations in the underlying production functions, 

this sector is divided into three subsectors.

 Subsector 236, Construction of Buildings, comprises establishments of the general contractor type and for-sale 

builders involved in the construction of buildings. Subsector 237, Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction, 

comprises establishments involved in the construction of engineering projects. Subsector 238, Specialty Trade 

Contractors, comprises establishments engaged in specialty trade activities generally needed in the construction of 

all types of buildings.

 Force account construction is construction work performed by an enterprise primarily engaged in some business 

other than construction for its own account, using employees of the enterprise. This activity is not included in the 

construction sector unless the construction work performed is the primary activity of a separate establishment of the 

enterprise. The installation and the ongoing repair and maintenance of telecommunications and utility networks is 

excluded from construction when the establishments performing the work are not independent contractors. 

Although a growing proportion of this work is subcontracted to independent contractors in the Construction sector, 

the operating units of telecommunications and utility companies performing this work are included with the 

telecommunications or utility activities.

236 Construction of BuildingsT

 The Construction of Buildings subsector comprises establishments primarily responsible for the construction of 

buildings. The work performed may include new work, additions, alterations, or maintenance and repairs. The onsite assembly of precut, panelized, and prefabricated buildings and construction of temporary buildings are included 

in this subsector. Part or all of the production work for which the establishments in this subsector have 

responsibility may be subcontracted to other construction establishments--usually specialty trade contractors.

237 Heavy and Civil Engineering ConstructionT

 The Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction subsector comprises establishments whose primary activity is the 

construction of entire engineering projects (e.g., highways and dams), and specialty trade contractors, whose 

primary activity is the production of a specific component for such projects. Specialty trade contractors in the 

Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction subsector generally are performing activities that are specific to heavy 

and civil engineering construction projects and are not normally performed on buildings. The work performed may 

include new work, additions, alterations, or maintenance and repairs. 

 Specialty trade activities are classified in this subsector if the skills and equipment present are specific to heavy or 

civil engineering construction projects. For example, specialized equipment is needed to paint lines on highways. 

This equipment is not normally used in building applications so the activity is classified in this subsector. Traffic 

signal installation, while specific to highways, uses much of the same skills and equipment that are needed for 

electrical work in building projects and is therefore classified in Subsector 238, Specialty Trade Contractors.

 Construction projects involving water resources (e.g., dredging and land drainage) and projects involving open 

space improvement (e.g., parks and trails) are included in this subsector. Establishments whose primary activity is 

the subdivision of land into individual building lots usually perform various additional site-improvement activities 

(e.g., road building and utility line installation) and are included in this subsector. 

 Establishments in this subsector are classified based on the types of structures that they construct. This 

classification reflects variations in the requirements of the underlying production processes.

238 Specialty Trade ContractorsT

 The Specialty Trade Contractors subsector comprises establishments whose primary activity is performing specific 

activities (e.g., pouring concrete, site preparation, plumbing, painting, and electrical work) involved in building 

construction or other activities that are similar for all types of construction, but that are not responsible for the entire 

project. The work performed may include new work, additions, alterations, maintenance, and repairs. The 

production work performed by establishments in this subsector is usually subcontracted from establishments of the 

general contractor type or for-sale builders, but especially in remodeling and repair construction, work also may be 

done directly for the owner of the property. Specialty trade contractors usually perform most of their work at the 

construction site, although they may have shops where they perform prefabrication and other work. Establishments 

primarily engaged in preparing sites for new construction are also included in this subsector.

 There are substantial differences in types of equipment, work force skills, and other inputs required by specialty 

trade contractors. Establishments in this subsector are classified based on the underlying production function for the 

specialty trade in which they specialize. Throughout the Specialty Trade Contractors subsector, establishments 

commonly provide both the parts and labor required to complete work. For example, electrical contractors supply 

the current-carrying and noncurrent-carrying wiring devices that are required to install a circuit. Plumbing, heating, 

and air-conditioning contractors also supply the parts required to complete a contract. 

 Establishments that specialize in activities primarily related to heavy and civil engineering construction that are 

not normally performed on buildings, such as the painting of lines on highways, are classified in Subsector 237, 

Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction.

 Establishments that are primarily engaged in selling construction materials are classified in Sector 42, Wholesale 

Trade, or Sector 44-45, Retail Trade, based on the characteristics of the selling unit.

Sector 31-33--ManufacturingT

The Sector as a Whole

 The Manufacturing sector comprises establishments engaged in the mechanical, physical, or chemical 

transformation of materials, substances, or components into new products. The assembling of component parts of 

manufactured products is considered manufacturing, except in cases where the activity is appropriately classified in 

Sector 23, Construction.

 Establishments in the Manufacturing sector are often described as plants, factories, or mills and characteristically 

use power-driven machines and material handling equipment. However, establishments that transform materials or 

substances into new products by hand or in the worker's home and those engaged in selling to the general public 

products made on the same premises from which they are sold, such as bakeries, candy stores, and custom tailors, 

may also be included in this sector. Manufacturing establishments may process materials or may contract with other 

establishments to process their materials for them. Both types of establishments are included in manufacturing.

 The materials, substances, or components transformed by manufacturing establishments are raw materials that are 

products of agriculture, forestry, fishing, mining, or quarrying as well as products of other manufacturing 

establishments. The materials used may be purchased directly from producers, obtained through customary trade 

channels, or secured without recourse to the market by transferring the product from one establishment to another, 

under the same ownership.

 The new product of a manufacturing establishment may be finished in the sense that it is ready for utilization or 

consumption, or it may be semi-finished to become an input for an establishment engaged in further manufacturing. 

For example, the product of the alumina refinery is the input used in the primary production of aluminum; primary 

aluminum is the input to an aluminum wire drawing plant; and aluminum wire is the input for a fabricated wire 

product manufacturing establishment.

 The subsectors in the Manufacturing sector generally reflect distinct production processes related to material 

inputs, production equipment, and employee skills. In the machinery area, where assembling is a key activity, parts 

and accessories for manufactured products are classified in the industry of the finished manufactured item when they 

are made for separate sale. For example, a replacement refrigerator door would be classified with refrigerators and 

an attachment for a piece of metalworking machinery would be classified with metalworking machinery. However, 

components, input from other manufacturing establishments, are classified based on the production function of the 

component manufacturer. For example, electronic components are classified in Subsector 334, Computer and 

Electronic Product Manufacturing, and stampings are classified in Subsector 332, Fabricated Metal Product 

Manufacturing.

 Manufacturing establishments often perform one or more activities that are classified outside the Manufacturing 

sector of NAICS. For instance, almost all manufacturing has some captive research and development or 

administrative operations, such as accounting, payroll, or management. These captive services are treated the same 

as captive manufacturing activities. When the services are provided by separate establishments, they are classified 

in the NAICS sector where such services are primary, not in manufacturing. 

 The boundaries of manufacturing and the other sectors of the classification system can be somewhat blurry. The 

establishments in the Manufacturing sector are engaged in the transformation of materials into new products. Their 

output is a new product. However, the definition of what constitutes a new product can be somewhat subjective. As 

clarification, the following activities are considered manufacturing in NAICS:

Milk bottling and pasteurizing;

Water bottling and processing;

Fresh fish packaging (oyster shucking, fish filleting); 

Apparel jobbing (assigning materials to contract 

factories or shops for fabrication or other contract 

operations) as well as contracting on materials owned 

by others; 

Printing and related activities; 

Ready-mix concrete production; 

Leather converting;

Grinding lenses to prescription;

Wood preserving;

Electroplating, plating, metal heat treating, and 

polishing for the trade;

Lapidary work for the trade;

Fabricating signs and advertising displays;

Rebuilding or remanufacturing machinery (i.e., 

automotive parts);

Ship repair and renovation;

Machine shops; and

Tire retreading.

T—Canadian, Mexican, and United States industries are comparable.

census.gov/naics

 Conversely, there are activities that are sometimes considered manufacturing, but which for NAICS are classified 

in another sector (i.e., not classified as manufacturing). They include:

 1. Logging, classified in Sector 11, Agriculture, Forestry, Fishing and Hunting, is considered a harvesting 

operation;

 2. Beneficiating ores and other minerals, classified in Sector 21, Mining, Quarrying, and Oil and Gas Extraction, is 

considered part of the activity of mining;

 3. Constructing structures and fabricating at the construction site by contractors are classified in Sector 23, 

Construction;

 4. Breaking bulk and redistributing in smaller lots, including packaging, repackaging, or bottling products, such as 

liquors or chemicals; assembling computers on a custom basis; sorting scrap; mixing paints to customer order; and 

cutting metals to customer order, classified in Sector 42, Wholesale Trade, or Sector 44-45, Retail Trade, produce a 

modified version of the same product, not a new product; and

 5. Publishing and the combined activity of publishing and printing, classified in Sector 51, Information, transform 

information into a product for which the value to the consumer lies in the information content, not in the format in 

which it is distributed (i.e., the book or software compact disc).

311 Food ManufacturingT

 Industries in the Food Manufacturing subsector transform livestock and agricultural products into products for 

intermediate or final consumption. The industry groups are distinguished by the raw materials (generally of animal 

or vegetable origin) processed into food products.

 The food products manufactured in these establishments are typically sold to wholesalers or retailers for 

distribution to consumers, but establishments primarily engaged in retailing bakery and candy products made on the 

premises not for immediate consumption are included.

 Establishments primarily engaged in manufacturing beverages are classified in Subsector 312, Beverage and 

Tobacco Product Manufacturing.

312 Beverage and Tobacco Product ManufacturingT

 Industries in the Beverage and Tobacco Product Manufacturing subsector manufacture beverages and tobacco 

products. The Beverage Manufacturing industry group includes three types of establishments: (1) those that 

manufacture nonalcoholic beverages; (2) those that manufacture alcoholic beverages through the fermentation 

process; and (3) those that produce distilled alcoholic beverages. Ice manufacturing, while not a beverage, is 

included with nonalcoholic beverage manufacturing because it uses the same production process as water 

purification.

 In the case of activities related to the manufacture of beverages, the structure follows the defined production 

processes. Brandy, a distilled beverage, is not placed under distillery product manufacturing, but rather under 

winery product manufacturing since the production process used in the manufacturing of alcoholic grape-based 

beverages produces both wines (fermented beverage) and brandies (distilled beverage).

 The Tobacco Manufacturing industry group includes two types of establishments: (1) those engaged in redrying 

and stemming tobacco and (2) those that manufacture tobacco products, such as cigarettes and cigars.

3121 Beverage ManufacturingT

 This industry group comprises establishments primarily engaged in manufacturing soft drinks and ice; purifying

313 Textile MillsT

 Industries in the Textile Mills subsector group establishments that transform a basic fiber (natural or synthetic) 

into a product, such as yarn or fabric that is further manufactured into usable items, such as apparel, sheets, towels, 

and textile bags for individual or industrial consumption. The further manufacturing may be performed in the same 

establishment and classified in this subsector, or it may be performed at a separate establishment and be classified 

elsewhere in manufacturing. 

 The main processes in this subsector include preparation and spinning of fiber, knitting or weaving of fabric, and 

the finishing of the textile. The NAICS structure follows and captures this process flow. Major industries in this 

flow, such as preparation of fibers, weaving of fabric, knitting of fabric, and fiber and fabric finishing, are uniquely 

identified. Texturizing, throwing, twisting, and winding of yarn contain aspects of both fiber preparation and fiber 

finishing and are classified with preparation of fibers rather than with finishing of fibers. 

 NAICS separates the manufacturing of primary textiles and the manufacturing of textile products (except apparel) 

produced from purchased primary textiles, such as fabric. The manufacturing of textile products (except apparel) 

from purchased fabric is classified in Subsector 314, Textile Product Mills, and apparel from purchased fabric is 

classified in Subsector 315, Apparel Manufacturing. 

 Excluded from this subsector are establishments that weave or knit fabric and make garments. These 

establishments are included in Subsector 315, Apparel Manufacturing.

316 Leather and Allied Product ManufacturingT

 Establishments in the Leather and Allied Product Manufacturing subsector transform hides into leather by tanning 

or curing and fabricating the leather into products for final consumption. This subsector also includes the 

manufacture of similar products from other materials, including products (except apparel) made from "leather 

substitutes," such as rubber, plastics, or textiles. Rubber footwear, textile luggage, and plastics purses or wallets are 

examples of "leather substitute" products included in this subsector. The products made from leather substitutes are 

included in this subsector because they are made in similar ways leather products are made (e.g., luggage). They are 

made in the same establishments, so it is not practical to separate them.

 The inclusion of leather and hide tanning and finishing in this subsector is partly because it is a relatively small 

industry that has few close neighbors as a production process, partly because leather is an input to some of the other 

products classified in this subsector, and partly for historical reasons.

322 Paper ManufacturingT

 Industries in the Paper Manufacturing subsector make pulp, paper, or converted paper products. The 

manufacturing of these products is grouped together because they constitute a series of vertically connected 

processes. More than one is often carried out in a single establishment. There are essentially three activities. The 

manufacturing of pulp involves separating the cellulose fibers from other impurities in wood or used paper. The 

manufacturing of paper involves matting these fibers into a sheet. The manufacturing of converted paper products 

involves converting paper and other materials by various cutting and shaping techniques and includes coating and 

laminating activities.

 The Paper Manufacturing subsector is subdivided into two industry groups, the first for the manufacturing of pulp 

and paper and the second for the manufacturing of converted paper products. Paper making is treated as the core 

activity of the subsector. Therefore, any establishment that makes paper (including paperboard), either alone or in 

combination with pulp manufacturing or paper converting, is classified as a paper or paperboard mill. 

Establishments that make pulp without making paper are classified as pulp mills. Pulp mills, paper mills and 

paperboard mills comprise the first industry group.

 Establishments that make products from purchased paper and other materials make up the second industry group, 

Converted Paper Product Manufacturing. This general activity is then subdivided based, for the most part, on 

process distinctions. Paperboard container manufacturing uses corrugating, cutting, and shaping machinery to form 

paperboard into containers. Paper bag and coated and treated paper manufacturing establishments cut and coat 

paper and foil. Stationery product manufacturing establishments make a variety of paper products used for writing, 

filing, and similar applications. Other converted paper product manufacturing includes, in particular, the conversion 

of sanitary paper stock into such things as tissue paper and disposable diapers. 

 An important process used in the Paper Bag and Coated and Treated Paper Manufacturing industry is lamination, 

often combined with coating. Lamination and coating make a composite material with improved properties of 

strength, impermeability, and so on. The laminated materials may be paper, metal foil, or plastics film. While paper 

is often one of the components, it is not always. Lamination of plastics film to plastics film is classified in Subsector 

326, Plastics and Rubber Products Manufacturing, because establishments that do this often first make the film. The 

same situation holds with respect to bags. The manufacturing of bags from plastics only, whether or not laminated, 

is classified in Subsector 326, Plastics and Rubber Products Manufacturing, but all other bag manufacturing is 

classified in this subsector. 

 Excluded from this subsector are photosensitive papers. These papers are chemically treated and are classified in 

Industry 32599, All Other Chemical Product and Preparation Manufacturing.

323 Printing and Related Support ActivitiesT

 Industries in the Printing and Related Support Activities subsector print products, such as newspapers, books, 

labels, business cards, stationery, business forms, and other materials, and perform support activities, such as data 

imaging, platemaking services, and bookbinding. The support activities included here are an integral part of the 

printing industry, and a product (a printing plate, a bound book, or a computer disk or file) that is an integral part of 

the printing industry is almost always provided by these operations. 

 Processes used in printing include a variety of methods used to transfer an image from a plate, screen, film, or 

computer file to some medium, such as paper, plastics, metal, textile articles, or wood. The printing processes 

employed include, but are not limited to, lithographic, gravure, screen, flexographic, digital, and letterpress. 

 In contrast to many other classification systems that locate publishing of printed materials in manufacturing, 

NAICS classifies the publishing of printed products in Subsector 511, Publishing Industries (except Internet). 

Though printing and publishing are often carried out by the same enterprise (a newspaper, for example), it is less 

and less the case that these distinct activities are carried out in the same establishment. When publishing and

coal into usable products. The dominant process is petroleum refining that involves the separation of crude 

petroleum into component products through such techniques as cracking and distillation. 

 In addition, this subsector includes establishments that primarily further process refined petroleum and coal 

products and produce products, such as asphalt coatings and petroleum lubricating oils. However, establishments 

that manufacture petrochemicals from refined petroleum are classified in Industry 32511, Petrochemical 

Manufacturing.

325 Chemical ManufacturingT

 The Chemical Manufacturing subsector is based on the transformation of organic and inorganic raw materials by a 

chemical process and the formulation of products. This subsector distinguishes the production of basic chemicals 

that comprise the first industry group from the production of intermediate and end products produced by further 

processing of basic chemicals that make up the remaining industry groups. 

 This subsector does not include all industries transforming raw materials by a chemical process. It is common for 

some chemical processing to occur during mining operations. These beneficiating operations, such as copper 

concentrating, are classified in Sector 21, Mining, Quarrying, and Oil and Gas Extraction. Furthermore, the refining 

of crude petroleum is included in Subsector 324, Petroleum and Coal Products Manufacturing. In addition, the 

manufacturing of aluminum oxide is included in Subsector 331, Primary Metal Manufacturing; and beverage 

distilleries are classified in Subsector 312, Beverage and Tobacco Product Manufacturing. As is the case of these 

two activities, the grouping of industries into subsectors may take into account the association of the activities 

performed with other activities in the subsector.

326 Plastics and Rubber Products ManufacturingT

 Industries in the Plastics and Rubber Products Manufacturing subsector make goods by processing plastics 

materials and raw rubber. The core technology employed by establishments in this subsector is that of plastics or 

rubber product production. Plastics and rubber are combined in the same subsector because plastics are increasingly 

being used as a substitute for rubber; however the subsector is generally restricted to the production of products 

made of just one material, either solely plastics or rubber. 

 Many manufacturing activities use plastics or rubber, for example the manufacture of footwear or furniture. 

Typically, the production process of these products involves more than one material. In these cases, technologies 

that allow disparate materials to be formed and combined are of central importance in describing the manufacturing 

activity. In NAICS, such activities (footwear and furniture manufacturing) are not classified in the Plastics and 

Rubber Products Manufacturing subsector because the core technologies for these activities are diverse and involve 

multiple materials. 

 Within the Plastics and Rubber Products Manufacturing subsector, a distinction is made between plastics and 

rubber products at the industry group level, although it is not a rigid distinction, as can be seen from the definition of 

Industry 32622, Rubber and Plastics Hoses and Belting Manufacturing. As materials technology progresses, plastics 

are increasingly being used as a substitute for rubber; and eventually, the distinction may disappear as a basis for 

establishment classification. 

 In keeping with the core technology focus of plastics, lamination of plastics film to plastics film as well as the 

production of bags from plastics only is classified in this subsector. Lamination and bag production involving 

plastics and materials other than plastics are classified in Subsector 322, Paper Manufacturing.

3261 Plastics Product ManufacturingT

 This industry group comprises establishments primarily engaged in processing new or spent (i.e., recycled) 

plastics resins into intermediate or final products, using such processes as compression molding; extrusion molding; 

injection molding; blow molding; and casting. Within most of these industries, the production process is such that a 

wide variety of products can be made.

327 Nonmetallic Mineral Product ManufacturingT

 The Nonmetallic Mineral Product Manufacturing subsector transforms mined or quarried nonmetallic minerals, 

such as sand, gravel, stone, clay, and refractory materials, into products for intermediate or final consumption. 
MANUFACTURING 215

T—Canadian, Mexican, and United States industries are comparable.

census.gov/naics

Processes used include grinding, mixing, cutting, shaping, and honing. Heat often is used in the process and 

chemicals are frequently mixed to change the composition, purity, and chemical properties for the intended product. 

For example, glass is produced by heating silica sand to the melting point (sometimes combined with cullet or 

recycled glass) and then drawn, floated, or blow molded to the desired shape or thickness. Refractory materials are 

heated and then formed into bricks or other shapes for use in industrial applications. 

 The Nonmetallic Mineral Product Manufacturing subsector includes establishments that manufacture bricks, 

refractories, ceramic products, and glass and glass products, such as plate glass and containers. Also included are 

cement and concrete products, lime, gypsum and other nonmetallic mineral products including abrasive products, 

ceramic plumbing fixtures, statuary, cut stone products, and mineral wool. The products are used in a wide range of 

activities from construction and heavy and light manufacturing to articles for personal use. 

 Mining, beneficiating, and manufacturing activities often occur in a single location. Separate receipts will be 

collected for these activities whenever possible. When receipts cannot be broken out between mining and 

manufacturing, establishments that mine or quarry nonmetallic minerals, beneficiate the nonmetallic minerals, and 

further process the nonmetallic minerals into a more finished manufactured product are classified based on the 

primary activity of the establishment. A mine that manufactures a small amount of finished products is classified in 

Sector 21, Mining, Quarrying, and Oil and Gas Extraction. An establishment that mines whose primary output is a 

more finished manufactured product is classified in the Manufacturing sector. 

 Excluded from the Nonmetallic Mineral Product Manufacturing subsector are establishments that primarily 

beneficiate mined nonmetallic minerals. Beneficiation is the process whereby the extracted material is reduced to 

particles that can be separated into mineral and waste, the former suitable for further processing or direct use. 

Beneficiation establishments are included in Sector 21, Mining, Quarrying, and Oil and Gas Extraction.

331 Primary Metal ManufacturingT

 Industries in the Primary Metal Manufacturing subsector smelt and/or refine ferrous and nonferrous metals from 

ore, pig or scrap, using electrometallurgical and other process metallurgical techniques. Establishments in this 

subsector also manufacture metal alloys and superalloys by introducing other chemical elements to pure metals. The 

output of smelting and refining, usually in ingot form, is used in rolling, drawing, and extruding operations to make 

sheet, strip, bar, rod, or wire, and in molten form to make castings and other basic metal products. 

 Primary manufacturing of ferrous and nonferrous metals begins with ore or concentrate as the primary input. 

Establishments manufacturing primary metals from ore and/or concentrate remain classified in the primary smelting, 

primary refining, or iron and steel mill industries regardless of the form of their output. Establishments primarily 

engaged in secondary smelting and/or secondary refining recover ferrous and nonferrous metals from scrap and/or 

dross. The output of the secondary smelting and/or secondary refining industries is limited to shapes such as ingot 

or billet that will be further processed. Recovery of metals from scrap often occurs in establishments that are 

primarily engaged in activities, such as rolling, drawing, extruding, or similar processes. 

 Excluded from the Primary Metal Manufacturing subsector are establishments primarily engaged in manufacturing 

ferrous and nonferrous forgings (except ferrous forgings made in steel mills) and stampings. Although forging, 

stamping, and casting are all methods used to make metal shapes, forging and stamping do not use molten metals

332 Fabricated Metal Product ManufacturingT

 Industries in the Fabricated Metal Product Manufacturing subsector transform metal into intermediate or end 

products, other than machinery, computers and electronics, and metal furniture, or treat metals and metal formed 

products fabricated elsewhere. Important fabricated metal processes are forging, stamping, bending, forming, and 

machining, used to shape individual pieces of metal; and other processes, such as welding and assembling, used to 

join separate parts together. Establishments in this subsector may use one of these processes or a combination of 

these processes. 

 The NAICS structure for this subsector distinguishes the forging and stamping processes in a single industry. The 

remaining industries in the subsector group establishments based on similar combinations of processes used to make 

products. 

 The manufacturing performed in the Fabricated Metal Product Manufacturing subsector begins with manufactured 

metal shapes. The establishments in this subsector further fabricate the purchased metal shapes into a product. For 

instance, the Spring and Wire Product Manufacturing industry starts with wire and fabricates such items. 

 Within manufacturing there are other establishments that make the same products made by this subsector; only 

these establishments begin production further back in the production process. These establishments have a more 

integrated operation. For instance, one establishment may manufacture steel, draw it into wire, and make wire 

products in the same establishment. Such operations are classified in the Primary Metal Manufacturing subsector.

333 Machinery ManufacturingT

 Industries in the Machinery Manufacturing subsector create end products that apply mechanical force, for 

example, the application of gears and levers, to perform work. Some important processes for the manufacture of 

machinery are forging, stamping, bending, forming, and machining that are used to shape individual pieces of metal. 

Processes, such as welding and assembling are used to join separate parts together. Although these processes are 

similar to those used in metal fabricating establishments, machinery manufacturing is different because it typically 

employs multiple metal forming processes in manufacturing the various parts of the machine. Moreover, complex 

assembly operations are an inherent part of the production process. 

 In general, design considerations are very important in machinery production. Establishments specialize in making 

machinery designed for particular applications. Thus, design is considered to be part of the production process for 

the purpose of implementing NAICS. The NAICS structure reflects this by defining industries and industry groups 

that make machinery for different applications. A broad distinction exists between machinery that is generally used 

in a variety of industrial applications (i.e., general purpose machinery) and machinery that is designed to be used in 

a particular industry (i.e., special purpose machinery). Three industry groups consist of special purpose machinery--

Agricultural, Construction, and Mining Machinery Manufacturing; Industrial Machinery Manufacturing; and 

Commercial and Service Industry Machinery Manufacturing. The other industry groups make general purpose 

machinery: Ventilation, Heating, Air-Conditioning, and Commercial Refrigeration Equipment Manufacturing; 

Metalworking Machinery Manufacturing; Engine, Turbine, and Power Transmission Equipment Manufacturing; and 

Other General Purpose Machinery Manufacturing.

334 Computer and Electronic Product ManufacturingT

 Industries in the Computer and Electronic Product Manufacturing subsector group establishments that manufacture 

computers, computer peripherals, communications equipment, and similar electronic products, and establishments 

that manufacture components for such products. The Computer and Electronic Product Manufacturing industries 

have been combined in the hierarchy of NAICS because of the economic significance they have attained. Their 

rapid growth suggests that they will become even more important to the economies of all three North American 

countries in the future, and in addition their manufacturing processes are fundamentally different from the 

manufacturing processes of other machinery and equipment. The design and use of integrated circuits and the 

application of highly specialized miniaturization technologies are common elements in the production technologies 

of the Computer and Electronic Product Manufacturing subsector. Convergence of technology motivates this 

NAICS subsector. Digitalization of sound recording, for example, causes both the medium (the compact disc) and 

the equipment to resemble the technologies for recording, storing, transmitting, and manipulating data. 

Communications technology and equipment have been converging with computer technology. When 

technologically-related components are in the same sector, it makes it easier to adjust the classification for future 

changes, without needing to redefine its basic structure. The creation of the Computer and Electronic Product 

Manufacturing subsector assists in delineating new and emerging industries because the activities that will serve as 

the probable sources of new industries, such as computer manufacturing and communications equipment 

manufacturing, or computers and audio equipment, are brought together. As new activities emerge, they are less 

likely to cross the subsector boundaries of the classification.

following: (1) store the processing program or programs and the data immediately necessary for the execution of the 

program; (2) can be freely programmed in accordance with the requirements of the user; (3) perform arithmetical 

computations specified by the user; and (4) execute, without human intervention, a processing program that requires 

the computer to modify its execution by logical decision during the processing run. Analog computers are capable

336 Transportation Equipment ManufacturingT

 Industries in the Transportation Equipment Manufacturing subsector produce equipment for transporting people 

and goods. Transportation equipment is a type of machinery. An entire subsector is devoted to this activity because 

of the significance of its economic size in all three North American countries. 

 Establishments in this subsector utilize production processes similar to those of other machinery manufacturing 

establishments—bending, forming, welding, machining, and assembling metal or plastic parts into components and 

finished products. However, the assembly of components and subassemblies and their further assembly into 

finished vehicles tends to be a more common production process in this subsector than in the Machinery 

Manufacturing subsector. 

 NAICS has industry groups for the manufacture of equipment for each mode of transport—road, rail, air and 

water. Parts for motor vehicles warrant a separate industry group because of their importance and because they 

require less assembly than complete vehicles. 

 Land use motor vehicle equipment not designed for highway operation (e.g., agricultural equipment, construction 

equipment, and material handling equipment) is classified in the appropriate NAICS subsector based on the type and 

use of the equipment.

337 Furniture and Related Product ManufacturingT

 Industries in the Furniture and Related Product Manufacturing subsector make furniture and related articles, such 

as mattresses, window blinds, cabinets, and fixtures. The processes used in the manufacture of furniture include the 

cutting, bending, molding, laminating, and assembly of such materials as wood, metal, glass, plastics, and rattan. 

However, the production process for furniture is not solely bending metal, cutting and shaping wood, or extruding 

and molding plastics. Design and fashion trends play an important part in the production of furniture. The 

integrated design of the article for both esthetic and functional qualities is also a major part of the process of 

manufacturing furniture. Design services may be performed by the furniture establishment's work force or may be 

purchased from industrial designers.

 Furniture may be made of any material, but the most common ones used in North America are metal and wood. 

Furniture manufacturing establishments may specialize in making articles primarily from one material. Some of the 

equipment required to make a wooden table, for example, is different from that used to make a metal one. However, 

furniture is usually made from several materials. A wooden table might have metal brackets, and a wooden chair a 

fabric or plastics seat. Therefore, in NAICS, furniture initially is classified based on the type of furniture 

(application for which it is designed) rather than the material used. For example, an upholstered sofa is treated as 

household furniture, although it may also be used in hotels or offices. 

 When classifying furniture according to the component material from which it is made, furniture made from more 

than one material is classified based on the material used in the frame, or if there is no frame, the predominant 

component material. Upholstered household furniture (excluding kitchen and dining room chairs with upholstered 

seats) is classified without regard to the frame material. Kitchen or dining room chairs with upholstered seats are 

classified according to the frame material.

 Furniture may be made on a stock or custom basis and may be shipped assembled or unassembled (i.e., 

knockdown). The manufacture of furniture parts and frames is included in this subsector.

 Some of the processes used in furniture manufacturing are similar to processes that are used in other segments of 

manufacturing. For example, cutting and assembly occurs in the production of wood trusses that are classified in 

Subsector 321, Wood Product Manufacturing. However, the multiple processes that distinguish wood furniture 

manufacturing from wood product manufacturing warrant inclusion of wooden furniture manufacturing in the 

Furniture and Related Product Manufacturing subsector. Metal furniture manufacturing uses techniques that are also 

employed in the manufacturing of roll formed products classified in Subsector 332, Fabricated Metal Product 

Manufacturing. The molding process for plastics furniture is similar to the molding of other plastics products. 

However, plastics furniture producing establishments tend to specialize in furniture. 

 NAICS attempts to keep furniture manufacturing together, but there are two notable exceptions: seating for 

transportation equipment and specialized hospital furniture (e.g., hospital beds and operating tables). These 

exceptions are related to the fact that some of the aspects of the production process for these products, primarily the 

design, are highly integrated with the other manufactured goods, namely motor vehicles and medical equipment.

339 Miscellaneous ManufacturingT

 Industries in the Miscellaneous Manufacturing subsector make a wide range of products that cannot readily be 

classified in specific NAICS subsectors in manufacturing. Processes used by these establishments vary 

significantly, both among and within industries. For example, a variety of manufacturing processes are used in 

manufacturing sporting and athletic goods that include products such as tennis racquets and golf balls. The 

processes for these products differ from each other, and the processes differ significantly from the fabrication 

processes used in making dolls or toys, the melting and shaping of precious metals to make jewelry, and the 

bending, forming, and assembly used in making medical products.

 The industries in this subsector are defined by what is made rather than how it is made. Although individual 

establishments might be appropriately classified elsewhere in the NAICS structure, for historical continuity, these 

product-based industries were maintained. In most cases, no one process or material predominates for an industry.

Sector 42--Wholesale TradeT

The Sector as a Whole

 The Wholesale Trade sector comprises establishments engaged in wholesaling merchandise, generally without 

transformation, and rendering services incidental to the sale of merchandise. The merchandise described in this 

sector includes the outputs of agriculture, mining, manufacturing, and certain information industries, such as 

publishing.

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

sell or arrange the purchase or sale of (a) goods for resale (i.e., goods sold to other wholesalers or retailers), (b) 

capital or durable nonconsumer goods, and (c) 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: merchant wholesalers that sell goods on their own account 

and business-to-business electronic markets, 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 and group purchasing organizations (e.g., purchasing and 

selling goods on their own account). 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, group purchasing organizations (e.g., purchasing 

or arranging for the purchases of goods owned by others), 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 limited number of retail chains, and only provide a variety of products needed by that particular 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, in general, 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.

423 Merchant Wholesalers, Durable Goods 

 Industries in the Merchant Wholesalers, Durable Goods 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.

Sector 44-45--Retail TradeT

The Sector as a Whole

 The Retail Trade sector comprises establishments engaged in retailing merchandise, generally without 

transformation, and rendering services incidental to the sale of merchandise.

 The retailing process is the final step in the distribution of merchandise; retailers are, therefore, organized to sell 

merchandise in small quantities to the general public. This sector comprises two main types of retailers: store and 

nonstore retailers.

1. Store retailers operate fixed point-of-sale locations, located and designed to attract a high volume of walk-in 

customers. In general, retail stores have extensive displays of merchandise and use mass-media advertising to 

attract customers. They typically sell merchandise to the general public for personal or household consumption, but 

some also serve business and institutional clients. These include office supply stores, computer and software stores, 

building materials dealers, plumbing supply stores, and electrical supply stores. Catalog showrooms, gasoline 

stations, automotive dealers, and mobile home dealers are treated as store retailers.

 In addition to retailing merchandise, some types of store retailers are also engaged in the provision of after-sales 

services, such as repair and installation. For example, new automobile dealers, electronics and appliance stores, and 

musical instrument and supplies stores often provide repair services. As a general rule, establishments engaged in 

retailing merchandise and providing after-sales services are classified in this sector.

 The first eleven subsectors of retail trade are store retailers. The establishments are grouped into industries and 

industry groups typically based on one or more of the following criteria:

 (a) The merchandise line or lines carried by the store; for example, specialty stores are distinguished from generalline stores.

 (b) The usual trade designation of the establishments. This criterion applies in cases where a store type is well 

recognized by the industry and the public, but difficult to define strictly in terms of merchandise lines carried; for 

example, pharmacies, hardware stores, and department stores.

 (c) Capital requirements in terms of display equipment; for example, food stores have equipment requirements not 

found in other retail industries.

 (d) Human resource requirements in terms of expertise; for example, the staff of an automobile dealer requires 

knowledge in financing, registering, and licensing issues that are not necessary in other retail industries.

2. Nonstore retailers, like store retailers, are organized to serve the general public, but their retailing methods 

differ. The establishments of this subsector reach customers and market merchandise with methods, such as the 

broadcasting of "infomercials," the broadcasting and publishing of direct-response advertising, the publishing of 

paper and electronic catalogs, door-to-door solicitation, in-home demonstration, selling from portable stalls (street 

vendors, except food), and distribution through vending machines. Establishments engaged in the direct sale 

(nonstore) of products, such as home heating oil dealers and home delivery newspaper routes, are included here.

 The buying of goods for resale is a characteristic of retail trade establishments that particularly distinguishes them 

from establishments in the agriculture, manufacturing, and construction industries. For example, farms that sell their 

products at or from the point of production are not classified in retail, but rather in agriculture. Similarly, 

establishments that both manufacture and sell their products to the general public are not classified in retail, but 

rather in manufacturing. However, establishments that engage in processing activities incidental to retailing are 

classified in retail. This includes optical goods stores that do in-store grinding of lenses, and meat and seafood 

markets.

 Wholesalers also engage in the buying of goods for resale, but they are not usually organized to serve the general 

public. They typically operate from a warehouse or office, and neither the design nor the location of these premises 

is intended to solicit a high volume of walk-in traffic. Wholesalers supply institutional, industrial, wholesale, and 

retail clients; their operations are, therefore, generally organized to purchase, sell, and deliver merchandise in larger

quantities. However, dealers of durable nonconsumer goods, such as farm machinery and heavy-duty trucks, are 

included in wholesale trade even if they often sell these products in single units.

441 Motor Vehicle and Parts Dealers 

 Industries in the Motor Vehicle and Parts Dealers subsector retail motor vehicles and parts from fixed point-of-sale 

locations. Establishments in this subsector typically operate from a showroom and/or an open lot where the vehicles 

are on display. The display of vehicles and the related parts require little by way of display equipment. The 

personnel generally include both the sales and sales support staff familiar with the requirements for registering and 

financing a vehicle as well as a staff of parts experts and mechanics trained to provide repair and maintenance 

services for the vehicles. Specific industries included in this subsector identify the type of vehicle being retailed.

 Sales of capital or durable nonconsumer goods, such as medium- and heavy-duty trucks, are always included in 

wholesale trade. These goods are virtually never sold through retail methods.

4411 Automobile Dealers 

 This industry group comprises establishments primarily engaged in retailing new and used automobiles and light 

trucks, such as sport utility vehicles, and passenger and cargo vans.

Sector 48-49--Transportation and WarehousingT

The Sector as a Whole

 The Transportation and Warehousing sector includes industries providing transportation of passengers and cargo, 

warehousing and storage for goods, scenic and sightseeing transportation, and support activities related to modes of 

transportation. Establishments in these industries use transportation equipment or transportation related facilities as 

a productive asset. The type of equipment depends on the mode of transportation. The modes of transportation are 

air, rail, water, road, and pipeline.

 The Transportation and Warehousing sector distinguishes three basic types of activities: subsectors for each mode 

of transportation, a subsector for warehousing and storage, and a subsector for establishments providing support 

activities for transportation. In addition, there are subsectors for establishments that provide passenger 

transportation for scenic and sightseeing purposes, postal services, and courier services.

 A separate subsector for support activities is established in the sector because, first, support activities for 

transportation are inherently multimodal, such as freight transportation arrangement, or have multimodal aspects. 

Secondly, there are production process similarities among the support activity industries.

 One of the support activities identified in the Support Activities for Transportation subsector is the routine repair 

and maintenance of transportation equipment (e.g., aircraft at an airport, railroad rolling stock at a railroad terminal, 

or ships at a harbor or port facility). Such establishments do not perform complete overhauling or rebuilding of 

transportation equipment (i.e., periodic restoration of transportation equipment to original design specifications) or 

transportation equipment conversion (i.e., major modification to systems). An establishment that primarily performs 

factory (or shipyard) overhauls, rebuilding, or conversions of aircraft, railroad rolling stock, or ships is classified in 

Subsector 336, Transportation Equipment Manufacturing, according to the type of equipment.

 Many of the establishments in this sector often operate on networks, with physical facilities, labor forces, and 

equipment spread over an extensive geographic area.

 Warehousing establishments in this sector are distinguished from merchant wholesaling in that the warehouse 

establishments do not sell the goods.

 Excluded from this sector are establishments primarily engaged in providing travel agent services that support 

transportation and other establishments, such as hotels, businesses, and government agencies. These establishments 

are classified in Sector 56, Administrative and Support and Waste Management and Remediation Services. Also, 

establishments primarily engaged in providing rental and leasing of transportation equipment without operator are 

classified in Subsector 532, Rental and Leasing Services.

481 Air TransportationT

 Industries in the Air Transportation subsector provide air transportation of passengers and/or cargo using aircraft, 

such as airplanes and helicopters. The subsector distinguishes scheduled from nonscheduled air transportation. 

Scheduled air carriers fly regular routes on regular schedules and operate even if flights are only partially loaded. 

Nonscheduled carriers often operate during nonpeak time slots at busy airports. These establishments have more 

flexibility with respect to choice of airport, hours of operation, load factors, and similar operational characteristics. 

Nonscheduled carriers provide chartered air transportation of passengers, cargo, or specialty flying services. 

Specialty flying services establishments use general purpose aircraft to provide a variety of specialized flying 

services. 

 Scenic and sightseeing air transportation and air courier services are not included in this subsector but are included 

in Subsector 487, Scenic and Sightseeing Transportation, and in Subsector 492, Couriers and Messengers, 

respectively. Although these activities may use aircraft, they are different from the activities included in air 

transportation. Air sightseeing does not usually involve place-to-place transportation; the passenger's flight (e.g., 

balloon ride, aerial sightseeing) typically starts and ends at the same location. Courier services (individual package 

or cargo delivery) include more than air transportation; road transportation is usually required to deliver the cargo to 

the intended recipient.

482 Rail TransportationT

 Industries in the Rail Transportation subsector provide rail transportation of passengers and/or cargo using railroad 

rolling stock. The railroads in this subsector primarily either operate on networks, with physical facilities, labor 

force, and equipment spread over an extensive geographic area, or operate over a short distance on a local rail line.

 Scenic and sightseeing rail transportation and street railroads, commuter rail, and rapid transit are not included in 

this subsector but are included in Subsector 487, Scenic and Sightseeing Transportation, and Subsector 485, Transit 

and Ground Passenger Transportation, respectively. Although these activities use railroad rolling stock, they are 

different from the activities included in rail transportation. Sightseeing and scenic railroads do not usually involve 

place-to-place transportation; the passenger's trip typically starts and ends at the same location. Commuter railroads 

operate in a manner more consistent with local and urban transit and are often part of integrated transit systems.

484 Truck TransportationT

 Industries in the Truck Transportation subsector provide over-the-road transportation of cargo using motor 

vehicles, such as trucks and tractor trailers. The subsector is subdivided into general freight trucking and specialized 

freight trucking. This distinction reflects differences in equipment used, type of load carried, scheduling, terminal, 

and other networking services. General freight transportation establishments handle a wide variety of general 

commodities, generally palletized, and transported in a container or van trailer. Specialized freight transportation is 

the transportation of cargo that, because of size, weight, shape, or other inherent characteristics, requires specialized 

equipment for transportation.

 Each of these industry groups is further subdivided based on distance traveled. Local trucking establishments 

primarily carry goods within a single metropolitan area and its adjacent nonurban areas. Long-distance trucking 

establishments carry goods between metropolitan areas.

 The Specialized Freight Trucking industry group includes a separate industry for Used Household and Office 

Goods Moving. The household and office goods movers are separated because of the substantial network of 

establishments that has developed to deal with local and long-distance moving and the associated storage. In this 

area, the same establishment provides both local and long-distance services, while other specialized freight 

establishments generally limit their services to either local or long-distance hauling.

4841 General Freight TruckingT

 This industry group comprises establishments primarily engaged in providing general freight trucking. General 

freight trucking establishments handle a wide variety of commodities, generally palletized, and transported in a 

container or van trailer. The establishments of this industry group provide a combination of the following network 

activities: local pick-up, local sorting and terminal operations, line-haul, destination sorting and terminal operations, 

and local delivery.

491 Postal ServiceT

 The Postal Service subsector includes the activities of the National Post Office and its subcontractors operating 

under a universal service obligation to provide mail services, and using the infrastructure required to fulfill that 

obligation. These services include delivering letters and small parcels. These articles can be described as those that 

can be handled by one person without using special equipment. This allows the collection, pick-up, and delivery 

operations to be done with limited labor costs and minimal equipment. Sorting and transportation activities, where 

necessary, are generally mechanized. The restriction to small parcels distinguishes these establishments from those 

in the transportation industries. These establishments may also provide express delivery services using the 

infrastructure established for provision of basic mail services.

 The traditional activity of the National Postal Service is described in this subsector. Subcontractors include rural 

post offices on contract to the Postal Service. 

 Bulk transportation of mail on contract to the Postal Service is not included here, because it is usually done by 

transportation establishments that carry other customers' cargo as well. Establishments that provide courier and 

express delivery services without operating under a universal service obligation are classified in Subsector 492, 

Couriers and Messengers.

 Industries in the Couriers and Messengers subsector provide intercity, local, and/or international delivery of 

parcels and documents (including express delivery services) without operating under a universal service obligation. 

These articles may originate in the U.S. but be delivered to another country and can be described as those that may 

be handled by one person without using special equipment. This allows the collection, pick-up, and delivery 

operations to be done with limited labor costs and minimal equipment. Sorting and transportation activities, where 

necessary, are generally mechanized. The restriction to small parcels partly distinguishes these establishments from 

those in the transportation industries. The complete network of courier services establishments also distinguishes 

these transportation services from local messenger and delivery establishments in this subsector. This includes the 

establishments that perform intercity transportation as well as establishments that, under contract to them, perform 

local pick-up and delivery. Messengers, which usually deliver within a metropolitan or single urban area, may use 

bicycle, foot, small truck, or van.

493 Warehousing and StorageT

 Industries in the Warehousing and Storage subsector are primarily engaged in operating warehousing and storage 

facilities for general merchandise, refrigerated goods, and other warehouse products. These establishments provide 

facilities to store goods. They do not sell the goods they handle. These establishments take responsibility for 

storing the goods and keeping them secure. They may also provide a range of services, often referred to as logistics 

services, related to the distribution of goods. Logistics services can include labeling, breaking bulk, inventory 

control and management, light assembly, order entry and fulfillment, packaging, pick and pack, price marking and 

ticketing, and transportation arrangement. However, establishments in this industry group always provide 

warehousing or storage services in addition to any logistic services. Furthermore, the warehousing or storage of 

goods must be more than incidental to the performance of services, such as price marking.

 Bonded warehousing and storage services and warehouses located in free trade zones are included in the industries 

of this subsector.

Sector 51--InformationT

The Sector as a Whole

 The Information sector comprises establishments engaged in the following processes: (a) producing and 

distributing information and cultural products, (b) providing the means to transmit or distribute these products as 

well as data or communications, and (c) processing data.

 The main components of this sector are the publishing industries, including software publishing, and both 

traditional publishing and publishing exclusively on the Internet; the motion picture and sound recording industries; 

the broadcasting industries, including traditional broadcasting and broadcasting exclusively over the Internet; the 

telecommunications industries; and Web search portals, data processing industries, and the information services 

industries.

 The expressions ''information age'' and ''global information economy'' are used with considerable frequency today. 

The general idea of an ''information economy'' includes both the notion of industries primarily producing, 

processing, and distributing information, as well as the idea that every industry is using available information and 

information technology to reorganize and make themselves more productive. For the purposes of NAICS, it is the 

transformation of information into a commodity that is produced and distributed by a number of growing industries 

that is at issue.

 Cultural products are those that directly express attitudes, opinions, ideas, values, and artistic creativity; provide 

entertainment; or offer information and analysis concerning the past and present. Included in this definition are 

popular, mass-produced products as well as cultural products that normally have a more limited audience, such as 

poetry books, literary magazines, or classical records.

 The unique characteristics of information and cultural products, and of the processes involved in their production 

and distribution, distinguish the Information sector from the goods-producing and service-producing sectors. Some 

of these characteristics are:

1. Unlike traditional goods, an ''information or cultural product,'' such as an on-line newspaper or a television 

program, does not necessarily have tangible qualities, nor is it necessarily associated with a particular form. A movie 

can be shown at a movie theater, on a television broadcast, through video-on-demand or rented at a local video store. 

A sound recording can be aired on radio, embedded in multimedia products, or sold at a record store.

2. Unlike traditional services, the delivery of these products does not require direct contact between the supplier and 

the consumer.

3. The value of these products to the consumer lies in their informational, educational, cultural, or entertainment 

content, not in the format in which they are distributed. Most of these products are protected from unlawful

reproduction by copyright laws. 

4. The intangible property aspect of information and cultural products makes the processes involved in their 

production and distribution very different from goods and services. Only those possessing the rights to these works 

are authorized to reproduce, alter, improve, and distribute them. Acquiring and using these rights often involves 

significant costs. In addition, technology is revolutionizing the distribution of these products. It is possible to 

distribute them in a physical form, via broadcast, or on-line.

5. Distributors of information and cultural products can easily add value to the products they distribute. For 

instance, broadcasters add advertising not contained in the original product. This capacity means that unlike 

traditional distributors, they derive revenue not from sale of the distributed product to the final consumer, but from 

those who pay for the privilege of adding information to the original product. Similarly, a directory and mailing list 

publisher can acquire the rights to thousands of previously published newspaper and periodical articles and add new 

value by providing search and software and organizing the information in a way that facilitates research and 

retrieval. These products often command a much higher price than the original information.

 The distribution modes for information commodities may either eliminate the necessity for traditional 

manufacture, or reverse the conventional order of manufacture-distribute: A newspaper distributed on-line, for 
410 NORTH AMERICAN INDUSTRY CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM

T—Canadian, Mexican, and United States industries are comparable.

census.gov/naics

example, can be printed locally or by the final consumer. Similarly, packaged software is available mainly on-line. 

The NAICS Information sector is designed to make such economic changes transparent as they occur, or to facilitate 

designing surveys that will monitor the new phenomena and provide data to analyze the changes.

 Many of the industries in the NAICS Information sector are engaged in producing products protected by copyright 

law, or in distributing them (other than distribution by traditional wholesale and retail methods). Examples are 

traditional publishing industries, software and directory and mailing list publishing industries, and film and sound 

industries. Broadcasting and telecommunications industries and information providers and processors are also 

included in the Information sector, because their technologies are so closely linked to other industries in the 

Information sector.

511 Publishing Industries (except Internet)T

 Industries in the Publishing Industries (except Internet) subsector group establishments engaged in the publishing 

of newspapers, magazines, other periodicals, and books, as well as directory and mailing list and software 

publishing. In general, these establishments, which are known as publishers, issue copies of works for which they 

usually possess copyright. Works may be in one or more formats including traditional print form, CD-ROM, or 

proprietary electronic networks. Publishers may publish works originally created by others for which they have 

obtained the rights and/or works that they have created in-house. Software publishing is included here because the 

activity, creation of a copyrighted product and bringing it to market, is equivalent to the creation process for other 

types of intellectual products.

 In NAICS, publishing--the reporting, writing, editing, and other processes that are required to create an edition of 

a newspaper--is treated as a major economic activity in its own right, rather than as a subsidiary activity to a 

manufacturing activity, printing. Thus, publishing is classified in the Information sector; whereas, printing remains 

in the Manufacturing sector. In part, the NAICS classification reflects the fact that publishing increasingly takes 

place in establishments that are physically separate from the associated printing establishments. More crucially, the 

NAICS classification of book and newspaper publishing is intended to portray their roles in a modern economy, in 

which they do not resemble manufacturing activities.

 Music publishers are not included in the Publishing Industries (except Internet) subsector, but are included in the 

Motion Picture and Sound Recording Industries subsector. Reproduction of prepackaged software is treated in 

NAICS as a manufacturing activity; on-line distribution of software products is in the Information sector; and 

custom design of software to client specifications is included in the Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services 

sector. These distinctions arise because of the different ways that software is created, reproduced, and distributed.

 The Publishing Industries (except Internet) subsector includes establishments that publish software exclusively on 

the Internet but excludes establishments that publish other content exclusively on the Internet. Establishments 

publishing content other than software exclusively on the Internet are included in Subsector 519, Other Information 

Services. The Publishing Industries (except Internet) subsector also excludes products, such as manifold business 

forms and appointment books. Information is not the essential component of these items. Establishments producing 

these items are included in Subsector 323, Printing and Related Support Activities.

5111 Newspaper, Periodical, Book, and Directory PublishersT

 This industry group comprises establishments primarily engaged in publishing newspapers, magazines, other 

periodicals, books, directories and mailing lists, and other works, such as calendars, greeting cards, and maps. 

These works are characterized by the intellectual creativity required in their development and are usually protected 

by copyright. Publishers distribute or arrange for the distribution of these works.

 Publishing establishments may create the works in-house, or contract for, purchase, or compile works that were 

originally created by others. These works may be published in one or more formats, such as print and/or electronic 

form, including proprietary electronic networks. Establishments in this industry may print, reproduce, or offer direct 

access to the works themselves or may arrange with others to carry out such functions.

 Establishments that both print and publish may fill excess capacity with commercial or job printing. However, the 

publishing activity is still considered to be the primary activity of these establishments.

different to warrant placing establishments engaged in these activities in a separate subsector. Production is 

typically a complex process that involves several distinct types of establishments that are engaged in activities, such 

as contracting with performers, creating the film or sound content, and providing technical postproduction services. 

Film distribution is often to exhibitors, such as theaters and broadcasters, rather than through the wholesale and 

retail distribution chain. When the product is in a mass-produced form, NAICS treats production and distribution as

Sector 52--Finance and InsuranceT

The Sector as a Whole

 The Finance and Insurance sector comprises establishments primarily engaged in financial transactions 

(transactions involving the creation, liquidation, or change in ownership of financial assets) and/or in facilitating 

financial transactions. Three principal types of activities are identified:

 1. Raising funds by taking deposits and/or issuing securities and, in the process, incurring liabilities. 

Establishments engaged in this activity use raised funds to acquire financial assets by making loans and/or 

purchasing securities. Putting themselves at risk, they channel funds from lenders to borrowers and transform or 

repackage the funds with respect to maturity, scale, and risk. This activity is known as financial intermediation.

 2. Pooling of risk by underwriting insurance and annuities. Establishments engaged in this activity collect fees, 

insurance premiums, or annuity considerations; build up reserves; invest those reserves; and make contractual 

payments. Fees are based on the expected incidence of the insured risk and the expected return on investment.

 3. Providing specialized services facilitating or supporting financial intermediation, insurance, and employee 

benefit programs.

In addition, monetary authorities charged with monetary control are included in this sector.

 The subsectors, industry groups, and industries within the Finance and Insurance sector are defined on the basis of 

their unique production processes. As with all industries, the production processes are distinguished by their use of 

specialized human resources and specialized physical capital. In addition, the way in which these establishments 

acquire and allocate financial capital, their source of funds, and the use of those funds provides a third basis for 

distinguishing characteristics of the production process. For instance, the production process in raising funds 

through deposit-taking is different from the process of raising funds in bond or money markets. The process of 

making loans to individuals also requires different production processes than does the creation of investment pools 

or the underwriting of securities.

 Most of the Finance and Insurance subsectors contain one or more industry groups of (1) intermediaries with 

similar patterns of raising and using funds and (2) establishments engaged in activities that facilitate, or are 

otherwise related to, that type of financial or insurance intermediation. Industries within this sector are defined in 

terms of activities for which a production process can be specified, and many of these activities are not exclusive to 

a particular type of financial institution. To deal with the varied activities taking place within existing financial 

institutions, the approach is to split these institutions into components performing specialized services. This requires 

defining the units engaged in providing those services and developing procedures that allow for their delineation. 

These units are the equivalents for finance and insurance of the establishments defined for other industries.

 The output of many financial services, as well as the inputs and the processes by which they are combined, cannot 

be observed at a single location and can only be defined at a higher level of the organizational structure of the 

enterprise. Additionally, a number of independent activities that represent separate and distinct production 

processes may take place at a single location belonging to a multilocation financial firm. Activities are more likely 

to be homogeneous with respect to production characteristics than are locations, at least in financial services. The 

classification defines activities broadly enough that it can be used both by those classifying by location and by those 

employing a more top-down approach to the delineation of the establishment.

 Establishments engaged in activities that facilitate, or are otherwise related to, the various types of intermediation 

are included in multiple subsectors, rather than in a separate subsector dedicated to services alone, because these 

services are performed by intermediaries, as well as by specialist establishments, and the extent to which the activity 

of the intermediaries can be separately identified is not clear.

 Financial industries are extensive users of electronic means for facilitating the verification of financial balances, 

authorizing transactions, transferring funds to and from transactors' accounts, notifying banks (or credit card issuers) 

of the individual transactions, and providing daily summaries. Since these transaction processing activities are 

integral to the production of finance and insurance services, establishments that principally provide a financial 

transaction processing service are classified in this sector, rather than in the data processing industry in the 

Information sector.

 Legal entities that hold portfolios of assets on behalf of others are significant and data on them are required for a 

variety of purposes. Thus for NAICS, these funds, trusts, and other financial vehicles are the fifth subsector of the 

Finance and Insurance sector. These entities earn interest, dividends, and other property income, but have little or 

no employment and no revenue from the sale of services. Separate establishments and employees devoted to the 

management of funds are classified in Industry Group 5239, Other Financial Investment Activities.

Sector 53--Real Estate and Rental and LeasingT

The Sector as a Whole

 The Real Estate and Rental and Leasing sector comprises establishments primarily engaged in renting, leasing, or 

otherwise allowing the use of tangible or intangible assets, and establishments providing related services. The major 

portion of this sector comprises establishments that rent, lease, or otherwise allow the use of their own assets by 

others. The assets may be tangible, as is the case of real estate and equipment, or intangible, as is the case with 

patents and trademarks.

 This sector also includes establishments primarily engaged in managing real estate for others, selling, renting 

and/or buying real estate for others, and appraising real estate. These activities are closely related to this sector's 

main activity, and from a production basis they are included here. In addition, a substantial proportion of property 

management is self-performed by lessors.

 The main components of this sector are the real estate lessors industries (including equity real estate investment 

trusts (REITs)); equipment lessors industries (including motor vehicles, computers, and consumer goods); and 

lessors of nonfinancial intangible assets (except copyrighted works).

 Excluded from this sector are establishments primarily engaged in renting or leasing equipment with operators. 

Establishments renting or leasing equipment with operators are classified in various subsectors of NAICS depending 

on the nature of the services provided (e.g., transportation, construction, agriculture). These activities are excluded 

from this sector because the client is paying for the expertise and knowledge of the equipment operator, in addition 

to the rental of the equipment. In many cases, such as the rental of heavy construction equipment, the operator is 

essential to operate the equipment.

531 Real EstateT

 Industries in the Real Estate subsector group establishments primarily engaged in renting or leasing real estate to 

others; managing real estate for others; selling, buying, or renting real estate for others; and providing other real 

estate related services, such as appraisal services.

 This subsector includes equity real estate investment trusts (REITs) primarily engaged in leasing buildings, 

dwellings, or other real estate property to others. Mortgage REITs are classified in Subsector 525, Funds, Trusts, 

and Other Financial Vehicles.

 Establishments primarily engaged in subdividing and developing unimproved real estate and constructing 

buildings for sale are classified in Subsector 236, Construction of Buildings. Establishments primarily engaged in 

subdividing and improving raw land for subsequent sale to builders are classified in Subsector 237, Heavy and Civil

 Industries in the Rental and Leasing Services subsector include establishments that provide a wide array of 

tangible goods, such as automobiles, computers, consumer goods, and industrial machinery and equipment, to 

customers in return for a periodic rental or lease payment.

 The subsector includes two main types of establishments: (1) those that are engaged in renting consumer goods 

and equipment and (2) those that are engaged in leasing machinery and equipment often used for business 

operations. The first type typically operates from a retail-like or storefront facility and maintains inventories of 

goods that are rented for short periods of time. The latter type typically does not operate from retail-like locations or 

maintain inventories, and offers longer-term leases. These establishments work directly with clients to enable them 

to acquire the use of equipment on a lease basis, or they work with equipment vendors or dealers to support the 

marketing of equipment to their customers under lease arrangements. Equipment lessors generally structure lease 

contracts to meet the specialized needs of their clients and use their remarketing expertise to find other users for 

previously leased equipment. Establishments that provide operating and capital (i.e., finance) leases are included in 

this subsector.

 Establishments primarily engaged in leasing in combination with providing loans are classified in Sector 52, 

Finance and Insurance. Establishments primarily engaged in leasing real property are classified in Subsector 531, 

Real Estate. Establishments primarily engaged in renting or leasing equipment with operators are classified in 

various subsectors of NAICS depending on the nature of the services provided (e.g., transportation, construction, 

agriculture). These activities are excluded from this subsector since the client is paying for the expertise and 

knowledge of the equipment operator, in addition to the rental of the equipment. In many cases, such as the rental of 

heavy construction equipment, the operator is essential to operate the equipment. Likewise, since the provision of 

crop harvesting services includes both the equipment and operator, it is included in Subsector 115, Support 

Activities for Agriculture and Forestry. The rental or leasing of copyrighted works is classified in Sector 51,

Sector 54--Professional, Scientific, and Technical ServicesT

The Sector as a Whole

 The Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services sector comprises establishments that specialize in performing 

professional, scientific, and technical activities for others. These activities require a high degree of expertise and 

training. The establishments in this sector specialize according to expertise and provide these services to clients in a 

variety of industries and, in some cases, to households. Activities performed include: legal advice and 

representation; accounting, bookkeeping, and payroll services; architectural, engineering, and specialized design 

services; computer services; consulting services; research services; advertising services; photographic services; 

translation and interpretation services; veterinary services; and other professional, scientific, and technical services.

 This sector excludes establishments primarily engaged in providing a range of day-to-day office administrative 

services, such as financial planning, billing and recordkeeping, personnel supply, and physical distribution and 

logistics. These establishments are classified in Sector 56, Administrative and Support and Waste Management and 

Remediation Services.

541 Professional, Scientific, and Technical ServicesT

 Industries in the Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services subsector group establishments engaged in 

processes where human capital is the major input. These establishments make available the knowledge and skills of 

their employees, often on an assignment basis, where an individual or team is responsible for the delivery of services 

to the client. The individual industries of this subsector are defined on the basis of the particular expertise and 

training of the services provider.

 The distinguishing feature of the Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services subsector is the fact that most of 

the industries grouped in it have production processes that are almost wholly dependent on worker skills. In most of 

these industries, equipment and materials are not of major importance, unlike health care, for example, where "hightech" machines and materials are important collaborating inputs to labor skills in the production of health care. 

Thus, the establishments classified in this subsector sell expertise. Much of the expertise requires degrees, though 

not in every case.

5411 Legal ServicesT

Sector 56--Administrative and Support and Waste Management and 

Remediation ServicesT

The Sector as a Whole

 The Administrative and Support and Waste Management and Remediation Services sector comprises 

establishments performing routine support activities for the day-to-day operations of other organizations. These 

essential activities are often undertaken in-house by establishments in many sectors of the economy. The 

establishments in this sector specialize in one or more of these support activities and provide these services to clients 

in a variety of industries and, in some cases, to households. Activities performed include: office administration, 

hiring and placing of personnel, document preparation and similar clerical services, solicitation, collection, security 

and surveillance services, cleaning, and waste disposal services.

 The administrative and management activities performed by establishments in this sector are typically on a 

contract or fee basis. These activities may also be performed by establishments that are part of the company or 

enterprise. However, establishments involved in administering, overseeing, and managing other establishments of 

the company or enterprise are classified in Sector 55, Management of Companies and Enterprises. Establishments 

in Sector 55, Management of Companies and Enterprises, normally undertake the strategic and organizational 

planning and decision-making role of the company or enterprise. Government establishments engaged in 

administering, overseeing, and managing governmental programs are classified in Sector 92, Public Administration.

561 Administrative and Support ServicesT

 Industries in the Administrative and Support Services subsector group establishments engaged in activities that 

support the day-to-day operations of other organizations. The processes employed in this sector (e.g., general 

management, personnel administration, clerical activities, cleaning activities) are often integral parts of the activities 

of establishments found in all sectors of the economy. The establishments classified in this subsector have 

specialization in one or more of these activities and can, therefore, provide services to clients in a variety of 

industries and, in some cases, to households. The individual industries of this subsector are defined on the basis of 

the particular process that they are engaged in and the particular services they provide.

 Many of the activities performed in this subsector are ongoing routine support functions that all businesses and 

organizations must do and that they have traditionally done for themselves. Recent trends, however, are to contract 

or purchase such services from businesses that specialize in such activities and can, therefore, provide the services 

more efficiently.

 The industries in this subsector cannot be viewed as strictly "support." The Travel Arrangement and Reservation 

Services industry group includes travel agents, tour operators, and providers of other travel arrangement services, 

such as hotel and restaurant reservations and arranging the purchase of tickets, serving many types of clients, 

including individual consumers. This group was placed in this subsector because the services are often of the 

"support" nature (e.g., travel arrangement), and businesses and other organizations increasingly purchase such 

services.

 The administrative and management activities performed by establishments in this sector are typically on a 

contract or fee basis. These activities may also be performed by establishments that are part of the company or 

enterprise. However, establishments involved in administering, overseeing, and managing other establishments of 

the company or enterprise are classified in Sector 55, Management of Companies and Enterprises. Establishments 

in Sector 55, Management of Companies and Enterprises, normally undertake the strategic and organizational 

planning and decision-making role of the company or enterprise. Government establishments engaged in 

administering, overseeing, and managing governmental programs are classified in Sector 92, Public Administration.

Sector 61--Educational ServicesT

The Sector as a Whole

 The Educational Services sector comprises establishments that provide instruction and training in a wide variety of 

subjects. This instruction and training is provided by specialized establishments, such as schools, colleges, 

universities, and training centers. These establishments may be privately owned and operated for profit or not for 

profit, or they may be publicly owned and operated. They may also offer food and/or accommodation services to 

their students.

 Educational services are usually delivered by teachers or instructors that explain, tell, demonstrate, supervise, and 

direct learning. Instruction is imparted in diverse settings, such as educational institutions, the workplace, or the 

home, and through diverse means, such as correspondence, television, the Internet, or other electronic and distancelearning methods. The training provided by these establishments may include the use of simulators and simulation 

methods. It can be adapted to the particular needs of the students, for example sign language can replace verbal 

language for teaching students with hearing impairments. All industries in the sector share this commonality of 

process, namely, labor inputs of instructors with the requisite subject matter expertise and teaching ability.

611 Educational ServicesT

 Industries in the Educational Services subsector provide instruction and training in a wide variety of subjects. The 

instruction and training is provided by specialized establishments, such as schools, colleges, universities, and 

training centers.

 The subsector is structured according to level and type of educational services. Elementary and secondary 

schools, junior colleges and colleges, universities, and professional schools correspond to a recognized series of 

formal levels of education designated by diplomas, associate degrees (including equivalent certificates), and 

degrees. The remaining industry groups are based more on the type of instruction or training offered, and the levels

Sector 62--Health Care and Social AssistanceT

The Sector as a Whole

 The Health Care and Social Assistance sector comprises establishments providing health care and social assistance 

for individuals. The sector includes both health care and social assistance because it is sometimes difficult to 

distinguish between the boundaries of these two activities. The industries in this sector are arranged on a continuum 

starting with establishments providing medical care exclusively, continuing with those providing health care and 

social assistance, and finally finishing with those providing only social assistance. Establishments in this sector 

deliver services by trained professionals. All industries in the sector share this commonality of process, namely, 

labor inputs of health practitioners or social workers with the requisite expertise. Many of the industries in the 

sector are defined based on the educational degree held by the practitioners included in the industry. 

 Excluded from this sector are aerobic classes in Subsector 713, Amusement, Gambling, and Recreation Industries, 

and non-medical diet and weight reducing centers in Subsector 812, Personal and Laundry Services. Although these 

can be viewed as health services, these services are not typically delivered by health practitioners.

 Industries in the Ambulatory Health Care Services subsector provide health care services directly or indirectly to 

ambulatory patients and do not usually provide inpatient services. Health practitioners in this subsector provide

Sector 71--Arts, Entertainment, and RecreationT

The Sector as a Whole

 The Arts, Entertainment, and Recreation sector includes a wide range of establishments that operate facilities or 

provide services to meet varied cultural, entertainment, and recreational interests of their patrons. This sector 

comprises (1) establishments that are involved in producing, promoting, or participating in live performances, 

events, or exhibits intended for public viewing; (2) establishments that preserve and exhibit objects and sites of 

historical, cultural, or educational interest; and (3) establishments that operate facilities or provide services that 

enable patrons to participate in recreational activities or pursue amusement, hobby, and leisure-time interests.

 Some establishments that provide cultural, entertainment, or recreational facilities and services are classified in 

other sectors. Excluded from this sector are: (1) establishments that provide both accommodations and recreational 

facilities, such as hunting and fishing camps and resort and casino hotels are classified in Subsector 721, 

Accommodation; (2) restaurants and night clubs that provide live entertainment in addition to the sale of food and 

beverages are classified in Subsector 722, Food Services and Drinking Places; (3) motion picture theaters, libraries 

and archives, and publishers of newspapers, magazines, books, periodicals, and computer software are classified in 

Sector 51, Information; and (4) establishments using transportation equipment to provide recreational and 

entertainment services, such as those operating sightseeing buses, dinner cruises, or helicopter rides, are classified in 

Subsector 487, Scenic and Sightseeing Transportation.

711 Performing Arts, Spectator Sports, and Related IndustriesT

 Industries in the Performing Arts, Spectator Sports, and Related Industries subsector group establishments that 

produce or organize and promote live presentations involving the performances of actors and actresses, singers, 

dancers, musical groups and artists, athletes, and other entertainers, including independent (i.e., freelance) 

entertainers and the establishments that manage their careers. The classification recognizes four basic processes: (1) 

producing (i.e., presenting) events; (2) organizing, managing, and/or promoting events; (3) managing and 

representing entertainers; and (4) providing the artistic, creative and technical skills necessary to the production of 

these live events. Also, this subsector contains four industries for performing arts companies. Each is defined on 

the basis of the particular skills of the entertainers involved in the presentations.

 The industry structure for this subsector makes a clear distinction between performing arts companies and 

performing artists (i.e., independent or freelance). Although not unique to arts and entertainment, freelancing is a 

particularly important phenomenon in this Performing Arts, Spectator Sports, and Related Industries subsector. 

Distinguishing this activity from the production activity is a meaningful process differentiation. This approach, 

however, is difficult to implement in the case of musical groups (i.e., companies) and artists, especially pop groups. 

These establishments tend to be more loosely organized and it can be difficult to distinguish companies from 

freelancers. For this reason, NAICS includes one industry that covers both musical groups and musical artists.

 This subsector contains two industries for Industry Group 7113, Promoters of Performing Arts, Sports, and Similar 

Events, one for those that operate facilities and another for those that do not. This is because there are significant 

differences in cost structures between those promoters that manage and provide the staff to operate facilities and 

those that do not. In addition to promoters without facilities, other industries in this subsector include 

establishments that may operate without permanent facilities. These types of establishments include performing arts 

companies; musical groups and artists; spectator sports; and independent (i.e., freelance) artists, writers, and 

performers.

 Excluded from this subsector are nightclubs. Some nightclubs promote live entertainment on a regular basis and it 

can be argued that they could be classified in Industry Group 7113, Promoters of Performing Arts, Sports, and 

Similar Events. However, since most of these establishments function as any other drinking place when they do not 

promote entertainment and because most of their revenue is derived from sale of food and beverages, they are 

classified in Subsector 722, Food Services and Drinking Places.

713 Amusement, Gambling, and Recreation IndustriesT

 Industries in the Amusement, Gambling, and Recreation Industries subsector (1) operate facilities where patrons 

can primarily engage in sports, recreation, amusement, or gambling activities and/or (2) provide other amusement 

and recreation services, such as supplying and servicing amusement devices in places of business operated by 

others; operating sports teams, clubs, or leagues engaged in playing games for recreational purposes; and guiding 

tours without using transportation equipment.

 This subsector does not cover all establishments providing recreational services. Other sectors of NAICS also 

provide recreational services. Providers of recreational services are often engaged in processes classified in other 

sectors of NAICS. For example, operators of resorts and hunting and fishing camps provide both accommodation 

and recreational facilities and services. These establishments are classified in Subsector 721, Accommodation, 

partly to reflect the significant costs associated with the provision of accommodation services and partly to ensure 

consistency with international standards. Likewise, establishments using transportation equipment to provide 

recreational and entertainment services, such as those operating sightseeing buses, dinner cruises, or helicopter rides, 

are classified in Sector 48-49, Transportation and Warehousing.

 The industry groups in this subsector highlight particular types of activities: amusement parks and arcades, 

gambling industries, and other amusement and recreation industries. The groups, however, are not all-inclusive of 

the activity. The Gambling Industries industry group does not provide for full coverage of gambling activities. For

while others provide meals, laundry services, and recreational facilities, as well as lodging. Lodging establishments 

are classified in this subsector even if the provision of complementary services generates more revenue. The types 

of complementary services provided vary from establishment to establishment.

Sector 81--Other Services (except Public Administration)T

The Sector as a Whole

 The Other Services (except Public Administration) sector comprises establishments engaged in providing services 

not specifically provided for elsewhere in the classification system. Establishments in this sector are primarily 

engaged in activities such as equipment and machinery repairing, promoting or administering religious activities, 

grantmaking, advocacy, and providing drycleaning and laundry services, personal care services, death care services, 

pet care services, photofinishing services, temporary parking services, and dating services.

 Private households that engage in employing workers on or about the premises in activities primarily concerned 

with the operation of the household are included in this sector.

 Excluded from this sector are establishments primarily engaged in retailing new equipment and also performing 

repairs and general maintenance on equipment. These establishments are classified in Sector 44-45, Retail Trade.

811 Repair and MaintenanceT

 Industries in the Repair and Maintenance subsector restore machinery, equipment, and other products to working 

order. These establishments also typically provide general or routine maintenance (i.e., servicing) on such products 

to ensure they work efficiently and to prevent breakdown and unnecessary repairs.

 The NAICS structure for this subsector brings together most types of repair and maintenance establishments and 

categorizes them based on production processes (i.e., on the type of repair and maintenance activity performed, and 

the necessary skills, expertise, and processes that are found in different repair and maintenance establishments). 

This NAICS classification does not delineate between repair services provided to businesses versus those that serve 

households. Although some industries primarily serve either businesses or households, separation by class of 

customer is limited by the fact that many establishments serve both. Establishments repairing computers and 

consumer electronics products are two examples of such overlap.

 The Repair and Maintenance subsector does not include all establishments that do repair and maintenance. For 

example, a substantial amount of repair is done by establishments that also manufacture machinery, equipment, and 

other goods. These establishments are included in the Manufacturing sector in NAICS. In addition, repair of 

transportation equipment is often provided by or based at transportation facilities, such as airports and seaports, and 

these activities are included in the Transportation and Warehousing sector. A particularly unique situation exists 

with repair of buildings. Plumbing, electrical installation and repair, painting and decorating, and other 

construction-related establishments are often involved in performing installation or other work on new construction 

as well as providing repair services on existing structures. While some specialize in repair, it is difficult to 

distinguish between the two types and all are included in the Construction sector.

 Excluded from this subsector are establishments primarily engaged in rebuilding or remanufacturing machinery 

and equipment. These are classified in Sector 31-33, Manufacturing. Also excluded are retail establishments that 

provide after-sale services and repair. These are classified in Sector 44-45, Retail Trade.

8111 Automotive Repair and MaintenanceT

 This industry group comprises establishments involved in providing repair and maintenance services for 

automotive vehicles, such as passenger cars, trucks, and vans, and all trailers. Establishments in this industry group 

employ mechanics with specialized technical skills to diagnose and repair the mechanical and electrical systems for 

automotive vehicles, repair automotive interiors, and paint or repair automotive exteriors.

Sector 92--Public AdministrationT

The Sector as a Whole

 The Public Administration sector consists of establishments of federal, state, and local government agencies that 

administer, oversee, and manage public programs and have executive, legislative, or judicial authority over other 

institutions within a given area. These agencies also set policy, create laws, adjudicate civil and criminal legal 

cases, and provide for public safety and for national defense. In general, government establishments in the Public 

Administration sector oversee governmental programs and activities that are not performed by private 

establishments. Establishments in this sector typically are engaged in the organization and financing of the 

production of public goods and services, most of which are provided for free or at prices that are not economically 

significant.

 Government establishments also engage in a wide range of productive activities covering not only public goods 

and services but also individual goods and services similar to those produced in sectors typically identified with 

private-sector establishments. In general, ownership is not a criterion for classification in NAICS. Therefore, 

government establishments engaged in the production of private-sector-like goods and services should be classified 

in the same industry as private-sector establishments engaged in similar activities.

 As a practical matter, it is difficult to identify separate establishment detail for many government agencies. To the 

extent that separate establishment records are available, the administration of governmental programs is classified in 

Sector 92, Public Administration, while the operation of governmental programs is classified elsewhere in NAICS 

based on the activities performed. For example, the governmental administrative authority for an airport is 

classified in Industry 92612, Regulation and Administration of Transportation Programs, while operating the airport 

is classified in Industry 48811, Airport Operations. When separate records for multi-establishment companies are 

not available to distinguish between the administration of a governmental program and the operation of it, the 

establishment is classified in Sector 92, Public Administration.

 Examples of government-provided goods and services that are classified in sectors other than Public 

Administration include: schools, classified in Sector 61, Educational Services; hospitals, classified in Subsector 622, 

Hospitals; establishments operating transportation facilities, classified in Sector 48-49, Transportation and 

Warehousing; the operation of utilities, classified in Sector 22, Utilities; and the Government Printing Office, 

classified in Subsector 323, Printing and Related Support Activities.
