County Business Patterns

Availability: Order from Customer Services, 301-763-INFO(4636); FAX 301-457-3842.

Subject content: Data includes all business establishments with one or more paid employees. Data are not included for agriculture production, railroad, government, or household employment. Data are tabulated by detailed industry based on the revised 1987 Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) designations. Data for the 1987 County Business Patterns and earlier years were based on the 1972 SIC designations.

Data are on total number of establishments, mid-March employment, first quarter and annual payroll, and number of establishments by employment-size classes. Whereas data in County Business Patterns printed reports are not shown for SIC's with fewer than 50 employees in a given area, there is no such restriction on the data files. This series excludes governmental establishments classified in the covered industries except for liquor stores and wholesale liquor establishments operated by State and local governments; all government hospitals are included beginning with 1989 data. Data are given down to the 4-digit SIC code for U.S., States & Counties.

Note: Technical Documentation is included with each order - $10 when ordered separately
