2017 NAICS code
The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) was developed by representatives from the United States, Canada, and Mexico and replaces each country's separate classification system with one uniform system for classifying industries. In the United States, NAICS replaces the Standard Industrial Classification, a system that Federal, State, and local governments, the business community, and the general public have used since the 1930s. This industry classification system enables North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) partners--the United States, Canada, and Mexico--to better compare economic and financial statistics and ensure that such statistics keep pace with the changing economy. For more information on NAICS, see Economic Census: NAICS Codes.
2017 NAPCS collection code
The North American Product Classification System (NAPCS) collection codes represent various types of products produced or carried, or services rendered, by an establishment. NAPCS collection codes ending in "000" represent broad products and codes ending in digits other than "000" represent detailed products. For more information on NAPCS, see Economic Census: NAPCS Codes.

Annual payroll ($1,000)
General Definition
This definition of payroll is the same as that used by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) on Forms 941 or 944 as taxable Medicare Wages and Tips (even if not subject to income or FICA tax). If an employee works at more than one location, the payroll is included in the one location where they spend most of their time.
Payroll includes all forms of compensation paid during the reporting year to all employees, such as salaries, wages, tips and gratuities, commissions, bonuses, vacation allowances, sick leave pay, dismissal pay, the spread on stock options that is taxable to employees as income (except for the manufacturing and mining industries who include this in fringe benefits), and employee contributions to qualified pension plans. For corporations, payroll includes amounts paid to officers and executives.
Excluded from payroll are employer’s costs for fringe benefits such as payroll taxes, employer-paid insurance premiums, pension plans, and other employer-paid benefits. For unincorporated businesses, payroll does not include profit or other compensation of proprietors or partners. It does not include payrolls of leased departments nor annuities or supplemental unemployment compensation benefits, even if income tax was withheld. Payroll is reported before deductions for social security, income tax, insurance, union dues, etc.
Note: For employment and related fields (payroll, production hours, benefits), respondents were asked to report only those full- and part-time employees whose payroll was reported on the IRS Forms 941 or 944 filing for the Employer Identification Number (EIN) used by that establishment. Other temporary workers and workers whose payroll was reported under a different firm's EIN were reported elsewhere. Comparisons of census-year data and data for earlier years should be used with caution.
Data are shown in thousands of dollars ($1,000).

A highway vehicle is any self-propelled vehicle designed to carry a load over public highways, whether or not the vehicle was also designed to perform other functions. Examples of vehicles designed to carry a load over public highways are passenger automobiles, trucks, and truck tractors. If a vehicle can be used for a combination of on-highway and off-highway uses and has one fuel tank, the fuel use is not considered off-highway. An example of this is a concrete-mixer truck where the truck engine operates both the engine and the mixing unit by a power take-off and is fueled by a single tank. None of the fuel used in this vehicle is off-highway because of the on-highway use. If the vehicle has separate fuel tanks and engines, the fuel used in a tank used for non-highway use may be considered off-highway use.
o Cost of off-highway use of gasoline and diesel fuel - Off-highway use of gasoline and diesel fuel. This is the cost of gasoline and diesel fuel purchased during the reporting year for off-highway use. Off-highway fuel use is the use of fuel for trade, business, or income producing activity.

Including all raw materials, semi-finished goods, parts, containers, scrap, and supplies put into production or used as operating supplies and for repair and maintenance during the year. Excludes materials, supplies, machinery, and equipment chargeable to fixed asset accounts and used in the construction of new structures or additions to establishments, or new machinery and equipment.
- Cost of resales - Cost of products bought and sold in the same condition.
- Cost of purchased fuels consumed - Includes the cost of fuels consumed, whether purchased by the individual establishment from other firms, transferred to it from other establishments of the same firm, or withdrawn from inventory during the year.
- Cost of purchased electricity - Cost of purchased electric energy represents the amount actually used during the year for heat and power. In addition, information was collected on the quantity of electric energy generated by the establishment and the quantity of electric energy sold or transferred to other plants of the same firm.
- Cost of contract work - Cost of work done by others on materials furnished by the manufacturing establishment. The actual fee a firm pays to another firm to perform a service.
In addition to the total cost of materials, which every establishment was required to report, information also was collected for most manufacturing industries on the consumption of major materials used in manufacturing. The inquiries were restricted to those materials that were important parts of the cost of production in a particular industry and for which cost information was available from manufacturers' records. The aggregate of the cost of materials figures for industry groups and for all manufacturing industries includes large amounts of duplication since the products of some industries are used as materials by others. This duplication results, in part, from the addition of related industries representing successive stages in the production of a finished manufactured product. Examples are the addition of flour mills to bakeries in the food group and the addition of pulp mills to paper mills in the paper and allied products group of industries.
For Mining Sector, the five types of costs are defined as:
- Cost of materials, components, packaging and/or supplies used, minerals received, or purchased machinery installed -Materials, parts, and supplies used; and minerals received for preparation. Cost of extraction/mining/quarrying-related materials purchased for other firms (contractors). Cost of materials purchased or received from other domestic reporting units of the firm. Excludes non-extraction/mining/quarrying-related expenses that were paid to other firms.
- Cost of resales - Products bought and sold without further processing (products bought and resold in the same condition as when purchased). Excludes oil, gas or natural gas liquids.
- Cost of purchased fuels consumed - Purchased fuels consumed for heat, power, or the generation of electricity. Total amount actually paid or payable for all purchased fuels consumed.

Sector-Specific Information:
Manufacturing and Mining Sectors
When using inventory data by stage of fabrication for (all industries) and at the three-digit subsector level, it should be noted that an item treated as a finished product by an establishment in one industry may be reported as a raw material by an establishment in a different industry. For example, the finished-product inventories of a steel mill would be reported as raw materials by a stamping plant. Such differences are present in the inventory figures by stage of fabrication shown for all publication levels. LIFO reserve is the difference between the current cost (e.g., First-In, First-Out (FIFO) of inventories (gross value) and the LIFO carrying value (net value).

Number of employees
General Definition
This definition of paid employees is the same as that used by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) on Forms 941 or 944. Paid employees consist of full- and part-time employees, including salaried officers and executives of corporations and salaried members of professional service organizations or associations, who were on the payroll during the pay period including March 12. Included are employees on paid sick leave, paid holidays, and paid vacations.
Excluded are proprietors and partners of unincorporated businesses; independent (nonemployee) agents; full- and part-time leased employees whose payroll was filed under an employee leasing company's Employer Identification Number (EIN); temporary staffing obtained from a staffing service; employees in leased departments; and subcontractors and their employees.
Note: For employment and related fields (payroll, production hours, benefits), respondents were asked to report only those full- and part-time employees whose payroll was reported on the IRS Forms 941 or 944 filing for the Employer Identification Number (EIN) used by that establishment. Other temporary workers and workers whose payroll was reported under a different firm's EIN were reported elsewhere. Comparisons of census-year data and data for earlier years should be used with caution.

Number of establishments
General Definition
An establishment is a single physical location at which business is conducted, services are provided, or industrial operations are performed. It is not necessarily identical with a firm or enterprise, which may consist of one establishment or more.
Economic census figures represent a summary of reports for individual establishments rather than firms. For cases where a census report was received, separate information was obtained for each location where business was conducted. When administrative records of other federal agencies were used instead of a census report, no information was available on the number of locations operated. Each economic census establishment was tabulated according to the physical location at which the business was conducted. The count of establishments represents those in business at any time during the census year.
When two activities or more were carried on at a single location under a single ownership, all activities generally were grouped together as a single establishment. The entire establishment was classified on the basis of its major activity and all data for it were included in that classification. However, when distinct and separate economic activities (for which different industry classification codes were appropriate) were conducted at a single location under a single ownership, separate establishment reports for each of the different activities were obtained in the census.
Leased departments are considered separate establishments and are classified according to the kind of business they conduct. For example, a beauty shop in a department store or a gift shop located in a hospital would be treated as separate establishments.
Sector-Specific Information:
Mining Sector
The establishment basis for reporting crude petroleum and support activities for mining industries is different from the establishment basis used for other types of mining. Firms operating oil and gas wells, drilling wells, or exploring for oil and gas for their own account were required to submit a separate report for each state or offshore area adjacent to a state in which it conducted such activities. Firms that performed contract services for oil and gas field operation or for mining establishments were required to submit one report covering all such activities in the United States and to include information on receipts for services and production-worker wages and hours by state. These consolidated reports were then allocated to state establishments based on the data reported at the state level.
Real Estate and Rental and Leasing Sector
Data for individual properties leased or managed by property lessors or property managers are not normally considered separate establishments, but rather the permanent offices from which the properties are leased or managed are considered establishments. Data for separate automotive rental offices or concessions (e.g., airport locations) in the same metropolitan area, for which a common fleet of cars is maintained, are merged together and not considered as separate establishments.

Number of establishments with NAPCS collection code as a percent of the number of establishments in the industry.
Number of firms
A firm is a business organization or entity consisting of one or more domestic establishments (locations) under common ownership or control. A firm may be a business, service, or membership organization; consist of one or several establishments; and operate at one or several locations.

Data are shown in thousands of dollars ($1,000).
Sector-Specific Information
Manufacturing and Mining Sectors
When using inventory data by stage of fabrication for (all industries) and at the three-digit subsector level, it should be noted that an item treated as a finished product by an establishment in one industry may be reported as a raw material by an establishment in a different industry. For example, the finished-product inventories of a steel mill would be reported as raw materials by a stamping plant. Such differences are present in the inventory figures by stage of fabrication shown for all publication levels. There are several valuation methods used. The valuation methods are based on the costs incurred to acquire the inventory and get it ready for sale. LIFO users were asked to first report inventory values prior to the LIFO adjustment and then to report the LIFO reserve and the LIFO value after adjustment for the reserve. LIFO reserve is the difference between the current cost (e.g., First-In, First-Out (FIFO) of inventories (gross value) and the LIFO carrying value (net value).
Total inventories and three stages of fabrication were collected for the Manufacturing industry:
- Finished goods
- Work-in-process
- Materials, supplies, parts, fuels, etc.
Total inventories and two stages of fabrication were collected for the Mining industry:
- Mineral products, crude petroleum, and natural gas liquids
- Supplies, parts, fuels, etc.
Inventory valuation methods include:
- Subject to Last-in, First-out (LIFO) costing (including LIFO reserve and value)
- Not subject to LIFO costing
- Valuation method not reported
- Amount subject to LIFO reported without associated reserve and value
- First-in, first-out (FIFO) inventory costing
- Average cost
- Standard cost
- Other non-LIFO inventory

Value added ($1,000)
General Definition
The value added is the measure of construction, manufacturing, or mining activities to avoid the duplication in the figure for sales, value of shipments, or revenue.
Data are shown in thousands of dollars ($1,000).
Sector-Specific Information
Construction Sector
This measure of construction activity is equal to value of business done, less costs for construction work subcontracted out to others and costs for materials, components, supplies, and fuels.
Manufacturing Sector
This measure of manufacturing activity is derived by subtracting the cost of materials, supplies, containers, fuel, purchased electricity, and contract work from the value of shipments (products manufactured plus receipts for services rendered). The result of this calculation is adjusted by the addition of value added by merchandising operations (i.e., the difference between the sales value and the cost of merchandise sold without further manufacture, processing, or assembly) plus the net change in finished goods and work-in-process between the beginning- and end-of-year inventories.
"Value added" avoids the duplication in the figure for value of shipments that results from the use of products of some establishments as materials by others. Value added is considered to be the best value measure available for comparing the relative economic importance of manufacturing among industries and geographic areas.
Mining Sector
This measure of mining activity is derived by subtracting the cost of supplies, minerals received for preparation, purchased machinery installed, purchased fuel, purchased electricity, and contract work from the sum of the value of shipments and receipts for services (mining products plus receipts for services rendered) and capital expenditures. The result of this calculation is adjusted by the addition of value added by merchandising operations (i.e., the difference between the sales value and the cost of products sold without further processing).
"Value added" avoids the duplication in the figure for value of shipments and receipts for services that results from the use of products of some establishments as supplies, energy sources, or materials by others. Moreover, it provides a measure of value added not only in mineral production but also in the development of mineral properties. Value added is considered to be the best value measure available for comparing the relative economic importance of mining among industries and geographic areas.
Value of construction work ($1,000)
This item includes the receipts, billings, or sales for construction work done by building contractors, heavy and civil engineering construction contractors, and specialty trade contractors.
