North American Industry 

Classification System (NAICS) 

The North American Industry Classification System 

(NAICS) is replacing the U.S. Standard Industrial 

Classification (SIC) system. NAICS will reshape the 

way we view our changing economy. 

NAICS was developed jointly by the U.S., Canada, and 

Mexico to provide new comparability in statistics about 

business activity across North America. 

rNf_c_ 

NAICS on die move. A Federal Register notice 

documents industry revisions being proposed for NAICS 

2002. Construction and wholesale trade are substantially 

affected, but the proposal also modifies a number of retail 

classifications and the organization of the information 

sector. 

A new North American Product Classification Svstem 

(NAPCS) is also being proposed for 2002, starting in four 

services sectors. (No major changes are planned for 

manufacturing products.) 

Measuring 

electronic 

business is a 

major 

challenge for 

future 

statistical 

programs.

P**5 either html tables or as pdf reports. The new Bridge Between NAICS and SIC 

^ ^ NEUH provides data and relationshps not in the NAICS Manual. The 1998 

County Business Patterns NEUM is now based on NAICS, too.
