The table below shows descriptions for Primary Business or Activity (PBA) for the 2022 Economic Census. PBA Codes appear in the left column, then their corresponding descriptions, and sector.  The first 6-digits of the PBA Codes match the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS). Additional information on NAICS is available at: NAICS Codes & Understanding Industry Classification Systems (census.gov).

The PBA Codes can be used for the Item 4/4A response in the spreadsheet template downloaded from the online reporting instrument.
