FEB. 6, 2025 – The U.S. Census Bureau today released new Comparative and Bridge Statistics data tables from the 2022 Economic Census.

The comparative statistics table includes 2017 and 2022 national, state and selected geography data, tabulated on the 2017 North American Industry Classification System (NAICS), at the two- to six-digit NAICS levels. Data include the number of firms, establishments, employees, sales, and annual and first-quarter payroll. The table allows users to compare the 2017 and 2022 data even if there have been changes to the NAICS codes that might otherwise impact the comparability.

The bridge statistics tables present national data for industries whose NAICS codes changed from 2017 to 2022. They show the components of change in two tables: (1) 2022 NAICS Industries and their 2017 NAICS-based parts, and (2) 2017 NAICS Industries and their 2022 NAICS-based parts. The bridge statistics tables provide the number of firms, establishments, employees, sales, and annual and first-quarter payroll in industries affected by the NAICS code changes but exclude those unaffected by the changes.

The bridge statistics tables only contain selected sectors: Mining, Quarrying, and Oil and Gas Extraction (NAICS 21); Manufacturing (31-33); Wholesale Trade (42); Retail Trade (44-45); Information (51); Finance and Insurance (52); and Other Services (except Public Administration) (81).

These tables have been moved up in the economic census release schedule for 2022 to better serve data user needs. More data from the 2022 Economic Census is planned for release later this year.

More information on the NAICS and on implementation of the 2022 NAICS is available on our website.

Additional information on the 2022 Economic Census is available at Coverage, Methodology, Geographies and Economic Census by Year.
