These CBP files provide data on the total number of establishments, mid-March employment, first quarter and annual payroll, and the number of establishments by employment-size classes for all business establishments with one or more paid employees. Data are tabulated by detailed kinds of business based on the 1972 revised Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) designations. The data sets contain data broken down by State and County, as well as U.S. Summary data. SMSA Summary data are not available from the Census Bureau after 1979.

However, data are not included for agriculture production, railroad, government, or household employment.
