required to report their physical location (street address,municipality, county, and state) if it differed from theirmailing address. For establishments not surveyed by mail(and those single-establishment companies that did notprovide acceptable information on physical location), location information from Internal Revenue Service tax formsis used as a basis for coding.BASIS OF REPORTINGThe economic census is conducted on an establishmentbasis. A company operating at more than one location isrequired to file a separate report for each store, factory,shop, or other location. Each establishment is assigned aseparate industry classification based on its primary activity and not that of its parent company.DOLLAR VALUESAll dollar values presented are expressed in current dollars; i.e., 1997 data are expressed in 1997 dollars, and1992 data, in 1992 dollars.

Prior to that time, individual components of the economic census were taken separately atvarying intervals.The economic census traces its beginnings to the 1810Decennial Census, when questions on manufacturing wereincluded with those for population. Coverage of economicactivities was expanded for the 1840 Decennial Censusand subsequent censuses to include mining and somecommercial activities. The 1905 Manufactures Census wasthe first time a census was taken apart from the regulardecennial population census. Censuses covering retail andwholesale trade and construction industries were added in1930, as were some covering service trades in 1933. Censuses of construction, manufacturing, and the other business service censuses were suspended during World WarII.The 1954 Economic Census was the first census to befully integrated: providing comparable census data acrosseconomic sectors, using consistent time periods, concepts, definitions, classifications, and reporting units. Itwas the first census to be taken by mail, using lists offirms provided by the administrative records of other Federal agencies. Since 1963, administrative records alsohave been used to provide basic statistics for very smallfirms, reducing or eliminating the need to send them census questionnaires.The range of industries covered in the economic censuses expanded between 1967 and 1992. The census ofconstruction industries began on a regular basis in 1967,and the scope of service industries, introduced in 1933,was broadened in 1967, 1977, and 1987. While a fewtransportation industries were covered as early as 1963, itwas not until 1992 that the census broadened to includeall of transportation, communications, and utilities. Alsonew for 1992 was coverage of financial, insurance, andreal estate industries. With these additions, the economiccensus and the separate census of governments and census of agriculture collectively covered roughly 98 percentof all economic activity.Printed statistical reports from the 1992 and earliercensuses provide historical figures for the study of longterm time series and are available in some large libraries.All of the census reports printed since 1967 are still available for sale on microfiche from the Census Bureau.CD-ROMs issued from the 1987 and 1992 Economic Censuses contain databases including nearly all data published in print, plus additional statistics, such as ZIP Codestatistics, published only on CD-ROM.1997 ECONOMIC CENSUSU.S. Census Bureau, 1997 Economic Census

This report presentsdata on a variety of industry-specific questions. Examplesinclude sales by type, billings by type, sources of researchand development funds, and employment by type of activity.

The United States as a whole.2. States and the District of Columbia.COMPARABILITY OF THE 1992 AND 1997 CENSUSESThe 1997 Economic Census is the first census topresent data based on the new North American IndustryClassification System (NAICS). Previous census data werepresented according to the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) system developed some 60 years ago. Due tothis change, comparability between census years may belimited. Comparative statistics will be included as part ofthe Core Business Statistics Reports.DISCLOSUREIn accordance with Federal law governing censusreports (Title 13 of the United States Codes) no data arepublished that would disclose the operations of an individual establishment or business. However, the number ofestablishments by type of activity is not considered a disclosure; therefore, this information may be released eventhough other information is withheld.AUXILIARIES5
