Guide to the
1997 Economic Census

• Geographic Area Series (published for all sectors) provides detail for establishments with employees, for the Nation, states, and substate areas as illustrated in the table below.
  
• Industry Series (manufacturing, mining, and construction) provides national totals for individual industries and their products, with limited data for states.
  
• Subject Series (all sectors) provides national and, in some cases, state data on special topics including Merchandise Line Sales, Concentration Ratios, and Establishment and Firm Size.
• ZIP Code Statistics (published for most sectors) includes counts of establishments by employment size by NAICS code for 5-digit ZIP Code.

Sector-specific Summary reports provide highlights of the data in print. They feature primarily national data and general statistics by state, and include illustrations of some of the more detailed data available in electronic media.

Core Business Statistics provides data for most or all sectors, economy-wide.

• The Advance report gives the first data for broad NAICS and SIC categories.
• Bridge Between NAICS and SIC shows the relationships between NAICS and SIC categories in detail.
• Comparative Statistics shows U.S. and state totals classified by SIC for both 1992 and 1997--comparisons not possible with other, NAICS-based reports.
• Nonemployer Statistics is the only source for information about nonemployers--16 million small businesses not included in other census reports.
