training and formal (usually tertiary level) qualifications.  Businesses in this industry specialise and sell this expertise and, in most cases, equipment and materials are not major inputs.

                                                 Professional, scientific and technical services include scientific research, architecture, engineering, computer systems design, law, accountancy, advertising, market research, management and other consultancy, veterinary science and professional photography.

Public administration and safety                 Means businesses mainly engaged in central, state or local government legislative, executive and judicial activities; in providing physical, social, economic and general public safety and security services; and in enforcing regulations. Also included are businesses of military defence, government representation and international government organisations.

Rental, hiring and real estate services          Means businesses mainly engaged in renting, hiring or otherwise allowing the use of assets (except copyrights), and businesses providing related services.  The assets may be tangible, as in the case of real estate and equipment, or intangible, as in the case with patents and trademarks.

                                                 The industry also includes businesses engaged in providing real estate services such as selling, renting and/or buying real estate for others, managing real estate for others and appraising real estate.

Residential building construction                This class consists of units mainly engaged in the construction of dwellings (both freestanding houses and residential buildings (e.g. semi-detached houses, duplex houses, apartments, or flats)) or in carrying out alterations, additions or renovations to such buildings, or in organising or managing these activities.

Retail trade                                     Means businesses mainly engaged in the purchase and on-selling, the commission-based buying, and the commission-based selling of goods, without significant transformation, to the general public (households).

                                                 The retail trade industry also includes businesses that purchase and on-sell goods to the general public using non-traditional means, including the internet. Businesses are classified to the retail trade industry in the first instance if they buy goods and then on-sell them (including on a commission basis) to the general public.

                                                 Retail businesses generally operate from premises located and designed to attract a high volume of walk-in customers, have an extensive display of goods, and/or use mass media advertising designed to attract customers. The display and advertising of goods may be physical or electronic.  Also include businesses that sell to both businesses and the general public that have these characteristics.

                                                 Physical display and advertising includes shops, printed catalogues, billboards and print advertisements. Electronic display and advertising includes catalogues, internet websites, television and radio advertisements and infomercials.  While non-store retailers, by definition, do not possess the physical characteristics of traditional retail businesses with a physical shop-front location, these businesses share the requisite function of the purchasing and on selling of goods to the general public, and are therefore included in this industry.
