Introduction

PURPOSE AND USES OF THE ECONOMIC CENSUS

The economic census is the major source of facts about the structure and functioning of theeconomy. It provides essential information for government, business, industry, and the generalpublic. Title 13 of the United States Code (Sections 131, 191, and 224) directs the Census Bureauto take the economic census every 5 years, covering years ending in “2” and “7.”

The economic census furnishes an important part of the framework for such composite measuresas the local gross product, input/output measures, and other statistical series that measure short-term changes in economic conditions. Specific uses of economic census data include the follow-ing:

• Policymaking agencies of the federal government use the data to monitor economic activity andto provide assistance to business.

• Local governments use the data to assess business activities and tax bases within their jurisdic-tions and to develop programs to attract business.

• Trade associations study trends in their own and competing industries, which allows them tokeep their members informed of market changes.

• Individual businesses use the data to locate potential markets and to analyze their own produc-tion and sales performance relative to industry or area averages.

SCOPE

Data from the 2002 Economic Census of Islands Areas are published for the first time on the basisof the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS). NAICS replaces the Standard Indus-trial Classification (SIC) System used in 1997 and earlier censuses. The 2002 Island Areas publica-tions cover the following NAICS sectors:

21 Mining. The Mining sector comprises establishments that extract naturally occurring mineralsolids, such as coal and ores; liquid minerals, such as crude petroleum; and gases, such as naturalgas. The most common type of mining activity in the island areas comprises stone quarrying. Themining sector distinguishes two basic activities: mine operation and mining support activities.Establishments are grouped and classified according to the natural resource mined or to bemined. Industries include establishments that develop the mine site, extract the natural resources,and/or those that beneficiate (i.e., prepare) the mineral mined.

22 Utilities. The Utilities sector comprises establishments engaged in the provision of the fol-lowing utility services: electric power, natural gas, steam supply, water supply, and sewageremoval. Activities associated with the utility services provided vary by utility: electric powerincludes generation, transmission, and distribution; natural gas includes distribution; steam sup-ply includes provision and/or distribution; water supply includes treatment and distribution; andsewage removal includes collection, treatment, and disposal of waste through sewer systems andsewage treatment facilities.

23 Construction. The construction sector comprises establishments primarily engaged in theconstruction of buildings or engineering projects (e.g., highways and utility systems). Establish-ments primarily engaged in the preparation of sites for new construction and in subdividing land

for sale as building sites also are included. Construction work done may include new work, addi-tions, alterations, or maintenance and repairs. Establishments primarily engaged in activities toproduce a specific component (e.g., masonry, painting, and electrical work) of a constructionproject are commonly known as specialty trade contractors.

There are substantial differences in the types of equipment, work force skills, and other inputsrequired by establishments in this sector. To highlight these differences and variations in theunderlying production functions, this sector is divided into three subsectors: Construction ofBuildings (Subsector 236), Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction (Subsector 237), and Spe-cialty Trade Contractors (Subsector 238).

31-33 Manufacturing. The Manufacturing sector comprises establishments engaged in themechanical, physical, or chemical transformation of materials, substances, or components intonew products. The assembling of component parts of manufactured products is considered manu-facturing, except in cases where the activity is appropriately classified in Sector 23, Construction.Manufacturing establishments from this sector are often described as plants, factories, or millsand characteristically use power-driven machines and materials-handling equipment. The subsec-tors in the Manufacturing sector generally reflect distinct production processes related to materialinputs, production equipment, and employee skills.

42 Wholesale Trade. The Wholesale Trade sector comprises establishments engaged in whole-saling merchandise, generally without transformation, and rendering services incidental to thesale of merchandise. The wholesaling process is an intermediate step in the distribution of mer-chandise. Wholesalers are organized to sell or arrange the purchase or sale of goods for resale(i.e., goods sold to other wholesalers or retailers), capital or durable nonconsumer goods, or rawand intermediate materials and supplies used in production. Wholesalers normally operate from awarehouse or office. This sector comprises two main types of wholesalers: those that sell goodson their own account known as wholesale merchants and those that arrange sales and purchasesfor others generally for a commission or fee.

44-45 Retail Trade. The Retail Trade sector comprises establishments engaged in retailing mer-chandise, generally without transformation, and rendering services incidental to the sale of mer-chandise. The retailing process is the final step in the distribution of merchandise. Retailers aresell merchandise in small quantities to the general public. This sector comprises two main typesof retailers: store and nonstore retailers. Store retailers operate fixed point-of-sale locations toattract walk-in customers. Nonstore retailers, also serve the general public by reaching customersand marketing merchandise with methods, such as the broadcasting of “infomercials,” the broad-casting and publishing of direct-response advertising, the publishing of paper and electronic cata-logs, door-to-door solicitation, in-home demonstration, selling from portable stalls (street vendors,except food), and distribution through vending machines.

48-49 Transportation and Warehousing. The Transportation and Warehousing sector includesindustries providing transportation of passengers and cargo, warehousing and storage for goods,scenic and sightseeing transportation, and support activities related to modes of transportation.The modes of transportation are air, rail, water, road, and pipeline. This sector distinguishes threebasic types of activities: subsectors for each mode of transportation, a subsector for warehousingand storage, and a subsector for establishments providing support activities for transportation. Inaddition, there are subsectors for establishments that provide passenger transportation for scenicand sightseeing purposes, postal services, and courier services.

51 Information. The Information sector comprises establishments engaged in producing anddistributing information and cultural products, providing the means to transmit or distribute theseproducts as well as data or communications, and processing data. The main components of thissector are the publishing industries, including software publishing, and both traditional publish-ing and publishing exclusively on the Internet; the motion picture and sound recording industries;the broadcasting industries, including traditional broadcasting and those broadcasting exclusivelyover the Internet; the telecommunications industries; the industries known as Internet service pro-viders and Web search portals, data processing industries and the information services industries.

They may also offer food and accommodation services to their stu-dents.

62 Health Care and Social Assistance. The Health Care and Social Assistance sector com-prises establishments providing health care and social assistance for individuals. The sectorincludes both health care and social assistance because it is sometimes difficult to distinguishbetween the boundaries of these two activities. The services provided by establishments in thissector are delivered by trained professionals. All industries in the sector share this commonality ofprocess, namely, labor inputs of health practitioners or social workers with the requisite expertise.Many of the industries in the sector are defined based on the educational degree held by the prac-titioners included in the industry.

BASIS OF REPORTING

The economic census is conducted on an establishment basis. A company operating at more thanone location is required to file a separate report for each store, factory, shop, or other location.Each establishment is assigned a separate industry classification based on its primary activity andnot that of its parent company.

GEOGRAPHIC AREA CODING

Accurate and complete information on the physical location of each establishment is required totabulate the census data for municipalities, districts, towns, villages, counties, municipios, orislands. Respondents were required to report their physical location (street address or locationdescription and municipality, district, town, village, county, municipio, or island) if it differed fromtheir mailing address. For those establishments that did not provide acceptable information onphysical location, location information from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) tax forms or fromthe previous census is used as a basis for coding.

• Northern Mariana Islands — Since 1982

• Guam — Since 1958

• Virgin Islands — Since 1958

• Puerto Rico — Economic censuses were conducted beginning with a census of manufactures for1909 and continuing at 10-year intervals through 1949, excepting 1929.

COMPARABILITY OF THE 1997 AND 2002 CENSUSES

The 2002 Economic Census of Island Areas is the first to present data based on the new NorthAmerican Industry Classification System (NAICS). Previous census data were presented accordingto the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) System developed in the 1930s. Due to this change,comparability between census years is limited. NAICS identifies new industries, redefines con-cepts, and develops classifications to reflect changes in the economy.

The 2002 Economic Census covers more of the economy than any previous census. New for 2002are data on information, finance and insurance, real estate, and health-care industries. The scopeof the census includes virtually all sectors of the economy.

Additional information about NAICS is available from the Census Bureau Internet site(www.census.gov/naics).

RELIABILITY OF DATA

All data compiled in this report originated from a complete enumeration and, therefore, are notsubject to sampling variability. However, the data are subject to nonsampling errors. Nonsamplingerrors can be attributed to many sources including: inability to identify all cases in the actual uni-verse; inability or unwillingness on the part of respondents to provide correct information; defini-tion and classification difficulties; response errors and bias; errors in collection or processing; mis-interpretation of questions; and other errors of recording, keying, and estimation for missing ormisreported data.

No direct measurement of these effects has been obtained. Precautionary steps were taken in allphases of the collection, processing, and tabulation of the data in an effort to minimize the effectsof nonsampling errors. More information on the reliability of the data is included in Appendix C,Methodology.

DISCLOSURE

In accordance with Federal law governing census reports (Title 13 of the United States Code), nodata are published that would disclose the operations of an individual establishment or business.However, the number of establishments in a kind-of-business classification is not considered a dis-closure; therefore, this information may be released even though other information is withheld.Techniques employed to limit disclosure are discussed atwww.census.gov/epcd/ec02/disclosure.htm.

The count of establish-ments represents those in business at any time during 2002.

When two activities or more were carried on at a single location under a single ownership, allactivities generally were grouped together as a single establishment. The entire establishmentwas classified on the basis of its major activity and all data for it were included in that classifica-tion. However, when distinct and separate economic activities (for which different industry classi-fication 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.

Appendix B.NAICS Codes, Titles, and Descriptions

236 CONSTRUCTION OF BUILDINGS

The Construction of Buildings subsector comprises establishments primarily responsible for theconstruction of buildings. The work performed may include new work, additions, alterations, ormaintenance and repairs. The on-site assembly of precut, panelized, and prefabricated buildingsand construction of temporary buildings are included in this subsector. Part or all of the produc-tion work for which the establishments in this sector have responsibility may be subcontracted toother construction establishments usually specialty trade contractors.

Establishments in this subsector are classified based on the types of buildings they construct. Thisclassification reflects variations in the requirements of the underlying production processes.

237 HEAVY AND CIVIL ENGINEERING CONSTRUCTION

The Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction subsector comprises establishments whose primaryactivity is the construction of entire engineering projects (e.g., highways and dams), and specialtytrade contractors, whose primary activity is the production of a specific component for suchprojects. Specialty trade contractors in Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction generally are per-forming activities that are specific to heavy and civil engineering construction projects and are notnormally performed on buildings. The work performed may include new work, additions, alter-ations, or maintenance and repairs.

Specialty trade activities are classified in this subsector if the skills and equipment present arespecific to heavy or civil engineering construction projects. For example, specialized equipment isneeded to paint lines on highways. This equipment is not normally used in building applicationsso the activity is classified in this subsector. Traffic signal installation, while specific to highways,uses much of the same skills and equipment that are needed for electrical work in buildingprojects and is therefore classified in Subsector 238, Specialty Trade Contractors.

Construction projects involving water resources (e.g., dredging and land drainage) and projectsinvolving open space improvement (e.g., parks and trails) are included in this subsector. Establish-ments whose primary activity is the subdivision of land into individual building lots usually per-form various additional site-improvement activities (e.g., road building and utility line installation)and are included in this subsector.

Establishments in this subsector are classified based on the types of structures that they con-struct. This classification reflects variations in the requirements of the underlying production pro-cesses.

238 SPECIALTY TRADE CONTRACTORS

The Specialty Trade Contractors subsector comprises establishments whose primary activity isperforming specific activities (e.g., pouring concrete, site preparation, plumbing, painting, andelectrical work) involved in building construction or other activities that are similar for all types ofconstruction but that are not responsible for the entire project. The work performed may includenew work, additions, alterations, maintenance, and repairs. The production work performed byestablishments in this subsector is usually subcontracted from establishments of the general con-tractor type or operative builders but, especially in remodeling and repair construction, work alsomay be done directly for the owner of the property. Specialty trade contractors usually performmost of their work at the construction site, although they may have shops where they performprefabrication and other work. Establishments primarily engaged in preparing sites for new con-struction are also included in this subsector.

Appendix B B–12002 Economic Census of Island Areas


There are substantial differences in types of equipment, work force skills, and other inputsrequired by specialty trade contractors. Establishments in this subsector are classified based onthe underlying production function for the specialty trade in which they specialize. Throughoutthe Specialty Trade Contractors subsector, establishments commonly provide both the parts andlabor required to complete work. For example, electrical contractors supply the current-carryingand noncurrent-carrying wiring devices that are required to install a circuit. Plumbing, Heating andAir-Conditioning contractors also supply the parts required to complete a contract.

Establishments that specialize in activities primarily related to heavy and civil engineering con-struction that are not normally performed on buildings, such as the painting of lines on highwaysare classified in Subsector 237, Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction.

Establishments that are primarily engaged in selling construction materials are classified in Sector42, Wholesale Trade, or Sector 44-45, Retail Trade, based on the characteristics of the selling unit.

B–2 Appendix B 2002 Economic Census of Island Areas


485 TRANSIT AND GROUND PASSENGER TRANSPORTATION

Industries in the Transit and Ground Passenger Transportation subsector include a variety of pas-senger transportation activities, such as urban transit systems; chartered bus, school bus, andinterurban bus transportation; and taxis. These activities are distinguished based primarily onsuch production process factors as vehicle types, routes, and schedules.

In this subsector, the principal splits identify scheduled transportation as separate from nonsched-uled transportation. The scheduled transportation industry groups are Urban Transit Systems,Interurban and Rural Bus Transportation, and School and Employee Bus Transportation. The non-scheduled industry groups are the Charter Bus Industry and Taxi and Limousine Service. The OtherTransit and Ground Passenger Transportation Industry group includes both scheduled and non-scheduled transportation.

Scenic and sightseeing ground transportation services are not included in this subsector but areincluded in Subsector 487, Scenic and Sightseeing Transportation. Sightseeing does not usuallyinvolve place-to-place transportation; the passenger’s trip starts and ends at the same location.

4851 URBAN TRANSIT SYSTEMS

This industry group comprises establishments primarily engaged in operating local and suburbanpassenger transit systems over regular routes and on regular schedules within a metropolitan areaand its adjacent nonurban areas. Such transportation systems involve the use of one or moremodes of transport including light rail, commuter rail, subways, streetcars, as well as buses andother motor vehicles.

4859 OTHER TRANSIT AND GROUND PASSENGER TRANSPORTATION

This industry group comprises establishments primarily engaged in providing other transit andground passenger transportation (except urban transit systems, interurban and rural bus transpor-tation, taxi services, school and employee bus transportation, charter bus services, and limousineservices (except shuttle services)). Shuttle services (except employee bus) and special needs trans-portation services are included in this industry. Shuttle services establishments generally travelwithin a metropolitan area and its adjacent nonurban areas on regular routes, on regular sched-ules and provide services between hotels, airports, or other destination points. Special needstransportation establishments provide passenger transportation to the infirm, elderly, or handi-capped. These establishments may use specially equipped vehicles to provide passenger transpor-tation.

541 PROFESSIONAL, SCIENTIFIC, AND TECHNICAL SERVICES

Industries in the Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services subsector group establishmentsengaged in processes where human capital is the major input. These establishments make avail-able the knowledge and skills of their employees, often on an assignment basis, where an indi-vidual or team is responsible for the delivery of services to the client. The individual industries ofthis subsector are defined on the basis of the particular expertise and training of the services pro-vider.

The distinguishing feature of the Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services subsector is thefact that most of the industries grouped in it have production processes that are almost whollydependent on worker skills. In most of these industries, equipment and materials are not of majorimportance, unlike health care, for example, where ″high tech″ machines and materials are impor-tant collaborating inputs to labor skills in the production of health care. Thus, the establishmentsclassified in this subsector sell expertise. Much of the expertise requires degrees, though not inevery case.

561 ADMINISTRATIVE AND SUPPORT SERVICES

Industries in the Administrative and Support Services subsector group establishments engaged inactivities that support the day-to-day operations of other organizations. The processes employedin this sector (e.g., general management, personnel administration, clerical activities, cleaning



activities) are often integral parts of the activities of establishments found in all sectors of theeconomy. The establishments classified in this subsector have specialized in one or more of theseactivities and can, therefore, provide services to clients in a variety of industries and, in somecases, to households. The individual industries of this subsector are defined on the basis of theparticular process that they are engaged in and the particular services they provide.

Many of the activities performed in this subsector are ongoing routine support functions that allbusinesses and organizations must do and that they have traditionally done for themselves.Recent trends, however, are to contract or purchase such services from businesses that specializein such activities and can, therefore, provide the services more efficiently.

The industries in this subsector cannot be viewed as strictly ″support.″ The Travel Arrangementand Reservation Services industry group, which includes travel agents, tour operators, and provid-ers of other travel arrangement services, such as hotel and restaurant reservations and arrangingthe purchase of tickets, serves many types of clients, including individual consumers. This groupwas placed in this subsector because the services are often of the ″support″ nature (e.g., travelarrangement) and businesses and other organizations are increasingly the ones purchasing suchservices.

The administrative and management activities performed by establishments in this sector are typi-cally on a contract or fee basis. These activities may also be performed by establishments that arepart of the company or enterprise. However, establishments involved in administering, oversee-ing, and managing other establishments of the company or enterprise, are classified in Sector 55,Management of Companies and Enterprises. These establishments normally undertake the strate-gic and organizational planning and decision making role of the company or enterprise. Govern-ment establishments engaged in administering, overseeing and managing governmental pro-grams are classified in Sector 92, Public Administration.

624 SOCIAL ASSISTANCE

Industries in the Social Assistance subsector provide a wide variety of social assistance servicesdirectly to their clients. These services do not include residential or accommodation services,except on a short stay basis.

7222 LIMITED-SERVICE EATING PLACES

This industry group comprises establishments primarily engaged in providing food services wherepatrons generally order or select items and pay before eating. Most establishments do not havewaiter/waitress service, but some provide limited service, such as cooking to order (i.e., per spe-cial request), bringing food to seated customers, or providing off-site delivery.

8111 AUTOMOTIVE REPAIR AND MAINTENANCE

This industry group comprises establishments involved in providing repair and maintenance ser-vices for automotive vehicles, such as passenger cars, trucks, and vans, and all trailers. Establish-ments in this industry group employ mechanics with specialized technical skills to diagnose andrepair the mechanical and electrical systems for automotive vehicles, repair automotive interiors,and paint or repair automotive exteriors.

812 PERSONAL AND LAUNDRY SERVICES

Services per-formed include: personal care services; death care services; laundry and drycleaning services; anda wide range of other personal services, such as pet care (except veterinary) services, photofinish-ing services, temporary parking services, and dating services.

The Personal and Laundry Services subsector is by no means all-inclusive of the services thatcould be termed personal services (i.e., those provided to individuals rather than businesses).There are many other subsectors, as well as sectors, that provide services to persons. Establish-ments providing legal, accounting, tax preparation, architectural, portrait photography, and simi-lar professional services are classified in Sector 54, Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services;

B–4 Appendix B 2002 Economic Census of Island Areas

Appendix C.Methodology

SOURCES OF THE DATA

The 2002 Economic Census of the Northern Mariana Islands, Guam, Virgin Islands, and PuertoRico was conducted by mail. The economic census for American Samoa was conducted using acombination of mail and personal enumeration. Descriptions of the sources of data for the islandareas follow:

1. Northern Mariana Islands, Guam, Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico — A census form was mailedto all employer firms (employers of one person or more) in operation at any time during 2002and classified as being within the scope of the census. One single report form was used tocollect data for the Northern Mariana Islands, Guam, and Virgin Islands. Nine separate reportforms (Utilities, Transportation, and Warehousing; Construction; Manufacturing; WholesaleTrade; Retail Trade; Finance, Insurance, Real Estate, Rental and Leasing; Accommodation Ser-vices; Services; and General Schedule) with English and Spanish versions were used to collectdata for Puerto Rico. Firms were instructed to return their completed report form by mail. Atelephone follow-up was conducted to obtain information from selected firms that failed toreturn their report form.The Governments of the Northern Mariana Islands and Guam, under the provisions in Title 13of the United States Code, Section 191(b), were responsible for contacting respondents aboutoverdue census forms. The Director of the Central Statistics Division, Department of Com-merce in the Northern Mariana Islands, and the Chief Economist of the Department of Labor inGuam supervised the local activities. Staff from the Census Bureau trained the project leader,supervisors, and interviewers in the Northern Mariana Islands and Guam, respectively. Stafffrom the Department of Commerce in the Northern Mariana Islands and the Department ofLabor in Guam, who worked with census data, were sworn to uphold the confidentiality of thedata. The Census Bureau provided the Central Statistics Division and the Department of Laborwith a list of the establishments for which a report form had not been received. Interviewerswere instructed to contact establishments by telephone to obtain the required information.Personal interviews were conducted to obtain data from establishments that requested a per-sonal visit or could not be contacted by telephone.

American Samoa was divided into four zones for enumeration — Manu’a Islands, Eastern,Central, and Western districts of Tutuila. Nonemployer establishments were identified fromthe American Samoa Government Business License List. Interviewers were provided with anassignment list that included the establishments assigned for interview and a labeledreport form for each establishment listed. The interviewers obtained information aboutmonths in operation, physical location, sales/receipts, employment and payroll, expenses,kind of business, sales by class of customer, description of merchandise sold, constructionwork done, products produced, or services provided, legal form of organization, ownershipstatus, and status of the establishment at the end of 2002. A consistency review was per-formed on every report form to ensure the accuracy of the reported data.

The report forms used to collect information for establishments in the island areas are available athelp.econ.census.gov/econhelp/index2002.html.

A more detailed examination of census methodology is presented in the History of the 2002 Eco-nomic Census at www.census.gov/econ/www/history.html.

INDUSTRY CLASSIFICATION OF ESTABLISHMENTS

The classifications for all establishments are based on the North American Industry ClassificationSystem, United States, 2002 manual. The method of assigning classifications and the level ofdetail at which establishments are classified depends on whether a report form was obtained forthe establishment.

• Establishments that returned a report form are classified on the basis of their self-designation,detail/description of merchandise lines sold, type of construction work done, products pro-duced, or services provided, and other industry-specific inquiries.

• Establishments that did not return a report form are classified on the basis of informationobtained from administrative records of other federal agencies.

RELIABILITY OF DATA

All data compiled in this publication are subject to nonsampling errors. Nonsampling errors canbe attributed to many sources during the development or execution of the census:

• inability to identify all cases in the actual universe;

• definition and classification difficulties;

• differences in the interpretation of questions;

• errors in recording or coding the data obtained; and

• other errors of collection, response, coverage, processing, and estimation for missing or misre-ported data.

The accuracy of these tabulated data is determined by the joint effects of the various nonsam-pling errors. Explicit measures of the effects of these nonsampling errors are not available. Pre-cautionary steps were taken in all phases of the collection, processing, and tabulation of the datain an effort to minimize the effects of nonsampling errors.

The Census Bureau obtains limited information extracted from administrative records of other fed-eral agencies, such as employment and payroll. This information is used in conjunction with otherinformation available to the Census Bureau to develop estimates for missing items on the reportform or for establishments for which responses were not received in time for publication.

TREATMENT OF NONRESPONSE

Census report forms included two types of inquiries, general inquiries and industry-specific inquir-ies. Data for the general inquiries, which include location, kind of business or operation, sales,shipments, receipts, or revenue, payroll, and number of employees, were available from a combi-nation of sources for all establishments. Data for industry-specific inquiries, tailored to particularkinds of business, were available only from those establishments that completed the appropriateinquiries on the report form.

C–2 Appendix C


For total nonresponse cases (report forms not returned) and missing items, the establishment’sadministrative records information was used in conjunction with industry averages, prior perioddata, and outside reference sources to estimate general and industry-specific inquiries. Large non-response cases were contacted to obtain information for general and industry-specific inquiries,as appropriate.

When reporting was incomplete or inadequate, commodity and merchandise line data for PuertoRico were expanded on the premise that data for those establishments not reporting this informa-tion are similar to commodity and merchandise line data for those establishments in the samekind of business that reported this information. In 2002, the method used to account for nonre-sponse to commodity and merchandise line inquiries was to expand the total of reported data torepresent 100 percent of the universe. Data presented for commodity and merchandise lines wereexpanded in direct relationship to total sales of all establishments included in the category.

DISCLOSURE

In accordance with federal law governing census reports (Title 13 of the United States Code), nodata are published that would disclose the operations of an individual establishment or business.However, the number of establishments in a kind-of-business classification is not considered a dis-closure; therefore, this information may be released even though other information is withheld.Techniques employed to limit disclosure are discussed atwww.census.gov/epcd/ec02/disclosure.htm.
