North American Industry
Classification System
(NAICS)
The North American Industry Classification
System (NAICS) is replacing the U.S.
Standard Industrial Classification (SIC)
system. NAICS will reshape the way we view
our changing economy.
NAICS was developed jointly by the U.S.,
Canada, and Mexico to provide new
comparability in statistics about business
activity across North America.

NAICS on the move.
A new North American Product Classification System is
being proposed for 2002,
starting in four services sectors. Background information and a call for comments is in a
Federal Register Notice.
Deadline: June 15, 1999. [Provides a table showing Title changes
and notes on Structure changes.]
Industry revisions were also in the works for NAICS 2002,
primarily affecting construction and wholesale trade. Comments or proposals were
due by April 26, 1999.

are included in the 1997 Economic Census Advance Report.
Preliminary national totals are shown for sectors and subsectors.
More details will be published through 1999.
