Introduction tothe Economic Census
PURPOSES AND USES OF THE ECONOMICCENSUS
The economic census is the major source of facts aboutthe structure and functioning of the Nationβs economy. Itprovides essential information for government, business,industry, and the general public.
The economic census furnishes an important part of theframework for such composite measures as the grossdomestic product, input/ output measures, production andprice indexes, and other statistical series that measureshort-term changes in economic conditions.
Policymaking agencies of the Federal Government usethe data, especially in monitoring economic activity andproviding assistance to business.
State and local governments use the data to assessbusiness activities and tax bases within their jurisdictionsand to develop programs to attract business.
Trade associations study trends in their own and com-peting industries and keep their members informed ofmarket changes.
Individual businesses use the data to locate potentialmarkets and to analyze their own production and salesperformance relative to industry or area averages.
AUTHORITY AND SCOPE
Title 13 of the United States Code (sections 131, 191,and 224) directs the Census Bureau to take the economiccensus every 5 years, covering years ending in 2 and 7.The 1992 Economic Census consists of the following eightcensuses:
β’ Census of Retail Trade
β’ Census of Wholesale Trade
β’ Census of Service Industries
β’ Census of Financial, Insurance, and Real EstateIndustries
β’ Census of Transportation, Communications, andUtilities
β’ Census of Manufactures
β’ Census of Mineral Industries
β’ Census of Construction Industries
Special programs also cover enterprise statistics andminority-owned and women-owned businesses. (The 1992Census of Agriculture and 1992 Census of Governmentsare conducted separately.) The next economic census isscheduled to be taken in 1998 covering the year 1997.
AVAILABILITY OF THE DATA
The results of the economic census are available inprinted reports for sale by the U.S. Government PrintingOffice and on compact discs for sale by the CensusBureau. Order forms for all types of products are availableon request from Customer Services, Bureau of the Census,Washington, DC 20233-8300. A more complete descrip-tion of publications being issued from this census is on theinside back cover of this document.
Census facts are also widely disseminated by tradeassociations, business journals, and newspapers. Vol-umes containing census statistics are available in mostmajor public and college libraries. Finally, State datacenters in every State as well as business and industrydata centers in many States also supply economic censusstatistics.
WHATβS NEW IN 1992
The 1992 Economic Census covers more of the economythan any previous census. New for 1992 are data oncommunications, utilities, finance, insurance, and real estate,as well as coverage of more transportation industries. Theeconomic, agriculture, and governments censuses nowcollectively cover nearly 98 percent of all economic activ-ity.
Among other changes, new 1992 definitions affect theboundaries of about a third of all metropolitan areas. Also,the Survey of Women-Owned Businesses has now beenexpanded to include all corporations.
HISTORICAL INFORMATION
The economic census has been taken as an integratedprogram at 5-year intervals since 1967 and before that for1963, 1958, and 1954. Prior to that time, the individualsubcomponents of the economic census were taken sepa-rately at varying 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 1840 and subsequent cen-suses to include mining and some commercial activities. In1902, Congress established a permanent Census Bureauand directed that a census of manufactures be taken every5 years. The 1905 Manufactures Census was the first timea census was taken apart from the regular every-10-yearpopulation census.
The first census of business was taken in 1930, cover-ing 1929. Initially it covered retail and wholesale trade andconstruction industries, but it was broadened in 1933 toinclude some of the service trades.
The 1954 Economic Census was the first census to befully integratedβproviding comparable census data acrosseconomic sectors, using consistent time periods, con-cepts, definitions, classifications, and reporting units. Itwas the first census to be taken by mail, using lists of firmsprovided by the administrative records of other Federalagencies. Since 1963, administrative records also havebeen used to provide basic statistics for very small firms,reducing or eliminating the need to send them censusquestionnaires. The Enterprise Statistics Program, whichpublishes combined data from the economic census, wasmade possible with the implementation of the integratedcensus program in 1954.
The range of industries covered in the economic cen-suses has continued to expand. The census of construc-tion industries began on a regular basis in 1967, and thescope of service industries was broadened in 1967, 1977,and 1987. The census of transportation began in 1963 asa set of surveys covering travel, transportation of commodi-ties, and trucks, but expanded in 1987 to cover businessestablishments in several transportation industries. For1992, these statistics are incorporated into a broadenedcensus of transportation, communications, and utilities.Also new for 1992 is the census of financial, insurance,and real estate industries. This is part of a gradual expan-sion in coverage of industries previously subjected togovernment regulation.
The Survey of Minority-Owned Business Enterpriseswas first conducted as a special project in 1969 and wasincorporated into the economic census in 1972 along withthe Survey of Women-Owned Businesses.
An economic census has also been taken in PuertoRico since 1909, in the Virgin Islands of the United Statesand Guam since 1958, and in the Commonwealth of theNorthern Mariana Islands since 1982.
Statistical reports from the 1987 and earlier censusesprovide historical figures for the study of long-term timeseries and are available in some large libraries. All of thecensus data published since 1967 are still available forsale on microfiche from the Census Bureau.
AVAILABILITY OF MORE FREQUENTECONOMIC DATA
While the census provides complete enumerations every5 years, there are many needs for more frequent data aswell. The Census Bureau conducts a number of monthly,quarterly, and annual surveys, with the results appearing inpublication series such as Current Business Reports (retailand wholesale trade and service industries), the AnnualSurvey of Manufactures, Current Industrial Reports, andthe Quarterly Financial Report. Most of these surveys,while providing more frequent observations, yield lesskind-of-business and geographic detail than the census.The County Business Patterns program offers annualstatistics on the number of establishments, employment,and payroll classified by industry within each county.
SOURCES FOR MORE INFORMATION
More information about the scope, coverage, classifica-tion system, data items, and publications for each of theeconomic censuses and related surveys is published in theGuide to the 1992 Economic Census and Related Statis-tics. More information on the methodology, procedures,and history of the census will be published in the History ofthe 1992 Economic Census. Contact Customer Servicesfor information on availability.

Census of Construction
GENERAL
The 1992 Census of Construction Industries covers allemployer establishments (establishments with payroll) pri-marily engaged in contract construction or construction ontheir own account for sale as defined in the StandardIndustrial Classification Manual: 19871 (SIC). This indus-trial classification system has been developed by expertson classification in government and private industry underthe guidance of the Office of Management and Budget andis in general use among government agencies and amongorganizations outside the government.
Contract construction. The SIC manual defines construc-tion in three broad types of activity:
1. Building construction by general contractors or byoperative builders. General building contractors areprimarily engaged in the construction of dwellings,office buildings, stores, farm buildings, and other build-ing projects. Operative builders who build on their ownaccount for sale are also included here. However,investment builders who build structures on their ownaccount for rent are classified in Real Estate.
2. Heavy construction general contractors. Heavy con-struction general contractors are primarily engaged inthe construction of highways, bridges, pipelines, sew-ers and water lines, marine construction, power, andpetro-chemical plants and other nonbuilding construc-tion projects. Special trade contractors are classifiedin heavy construction, if they are specifically engagedin the following activities: grading for highway andairport runways; guardrail construction; installation ofhighway signs; asphalt and concrete construction ofroads, highways, streets, and public sidewalks; trench-ing, cable laying; conduit construction; underwaterrock removal; pipeline wrapping; or land clearing andleveling.
3. Constructionby other special trade contractors. Thesecontractors include plumbers, painters, carpenters,electricians, brick layers, roofers, etc. For the mostpart, they perform their work at the site of construction,although they may also have shops where they per-form work incidental to the job site.
General contractors in both the building and the heavyconstruction field usually assume responsibility for anentire construction project, but may subcontract to othersall of the actual construction work or those portions of theproject requiring special skills or equipment. Special tradecontractors may work for general contractors, for othersubcontractors, or may work directly for the owner of theproperty.
Each establishment receiving a questionnaire was requestedto report the percent of total dollar value of business donefor each kind-of-business activity engaged in during 1992.This information was used for the computer assignment ofappropriate industry classifications. During this work, vari-ous tests were also made using other data reported on thequestionnaire. The proportion of construction work to totalbusiness was checked to verify that the establishment wasprimarily in construction. Also taken into considerationwere the types of structures worked on during the year andthe extent of work undertaken for other contractors.
Construction establishments often engage in variousconstruction activities. It is necessary, however, to assigna single industry code to the establishment based on itsmajor activity. Therefore, the statistics shown for an indus-try reflect not only the primary activity of the establish-ments in the industry but also their secondary activities.The industry reports, however, do present data on theextent of secondary activities.
Prior to 1992, this census also included one industryclassified in the Real Estate area, SIC 6552, Land Subdi-viders and Developers, Except Cemeteries. This industryis covered in the 1992 Census of Financial, Insurance,and Real Estate Industries.
ESTABLISHMENT BASIS OF REPORTING
The census of construction industries is conducted onan establishment basis. A ββconstruction establishmentββ isdefined as a relatively permanent office or other place ofbusiness where the usual business activities related toconstruction are conducted. With some exceptions, arelatively permanent office is one which has been estab-lished for the management of more than one project or joband which is expected to be maintained on a continuingbasis. Such ββestablishmentββ activities include, but are notlimited to estimating, bidding, purchasing, supervising, andoperation of the actual construction work being conducted

at one or more construction sites. Separate constructionreports were not required for each project or constructionsite.
Companies with more than one construction establish-ment were required to submit a separate report for eachestablishment operated during all or any part of 1992. Thecensus of construction industries figures represent a sum-mary of records for individual establishments rather thanfor companies.
If an establishment was engaged in construction andone or more distinctly different lines of economic activity(wholesale or retail trade, service, manufacturing, mining,etc.) at the same place of business, it was requested to filea separate report for each activity, provided that theactivity was of substantial size and separate records weremaintained or substantially accurate estimates could beprepared.
If a separate establishment report could not be pre-pared for each activity, then a construction report wasrequested covering all activities of that establishmentproviding that the 1992 value of construction work exceededthe gross receipts from each of its other activities.
Construction businesses with no payroll during 1992(nonemployers) were not required to file census reports.Tabulation of data for these businesses are based onadministrative records and are shown only in U.S. sum-mary publications and the geographic area reports series.Refer to the section on ββSample Designββ for details.Foreign construction activities were not included in thiscensus.
SAMPLE DESIGN, ESTIMATION PROCEDURES,AND RELIABILITY OF ESTIMATES
The companies included in the 1992 Census of Con-struction Industries were identified as part of an operationcommon to all 1992 Economic Censuses. Constructioncompanies were divided into employers (companies withpayroll) and nonemployers (companies without payroll).Statistical information for the employers was obtained inthe census by a survey which included all medium size andlarge employers and a sample of the smaller ones. Censusreports were not required from the nonemployers. Statis-tics on nonemployers were obtained from administrativerecords of other agencies of the Federal Government.
Employer Companies
Developing the sampling frame for employer compa-nies. This operation started with obtaining a list of allconstruction companies in the active records of the Inter-nal Revenue Service (IRS) which were subject to paymentof Federal Insurance Contributions Act (FICA) taxes. Thebasic source for this list has been the Internal RevenueService Business Master File, a comprehensive list ofcompanies engaged in business activities in the UnitedStates. The file contains the name, address, and form of
ownership of each company and also indicates whether ornot the company is subject to the FICA. Each company inthis file is assigned a unique employer identification (EI)number which it uses in filing its various reports with theIRS. The Social Security Administration (SSA) maintains asimilar list using the same identification numbers, whichalso contains information on the industrial classification ofeach company. The Bureau of the Census obtained both ofthese lists and combined them.
Under special arrangements which safeguarded theconfidentiality of the information, the Bureau also obtainedadministrative-record data on payrolls and receipts andadded these data to the combined list. The list, thuscreated from the IRS-SSA information, was a list of employercompanies. However, for the 1992 Economic Census thebasic reporting unit is the ββestablishment.ββ Therefore,steps were taken to identify the individual establishmentsof those companies which operate more than one place ofbusiness. The information for making this determinationwas obtained by means of the Company OrganizationSurvey (COS), an annual canvass of all known multiestab-lishment companies and large single-establishment com-panies. Thus, the 1992 Economic Census list for single-establishment employer companies was obtained from theIRS-SSA, but the list of establishments of multiestablish-ment employer companies was obtained directly fromthose companies in the COS. Refer to the section onββEstablishment Basis for Reportingββ for details.
In general, the IRS-SSA list provided sufficient industrialclassification data to assign a company to the propereconomic census, but there were a number of companiesfor which this information was inadequate or unavailable. Aspecial form, NC-9923, General Schedule, was mailed toall such companies, requesting information on the natureof the companyβs activities. From the information reported,the company was given an industrial classification codeand assigned to the appropriate economic census. Sinceconstruction companies found in this way were identifiedonly after the regular census mailing had taken place, theywere treated as a supplement to the basic list.
Selecting the employer sample. The sample was designedto provide reliable State and metropolitan area estimatesfor each construction industry. It consisted of all construc-tion establishments in multiestablishment companies, allsingle-establishment companies with 1991 administrativepayroll of $480,000 or more and a probability sample ofsingle-establishment companies with payroll under thatamount. Supplementing the sample were constructioncompanies identified from the NC-9923, General Sched-ule. Also affecting the sample were the misclassifiedcompanies; i.e., companies included in the samples ofother trade areas which reported they were constructioncompanies and companies originally classified in construc-tion which reported they were not construction companies.
Of the 547,000 single-establishment employer compa-nies initially classified as construction companies, 158,000were included in the sample. All of the 11,000 establish-ments of multiestablishment companies were included in

the sample. There was a net increase in the sample of48,000 establishments resulting from establishments origi-nally unclassified (receiving the NC-9923) or misclassified.
The probability sample of the smaller single-establishmentcompanies was a stratified random sample. Strata wereformed from all establishments with the same initial four-digit SIC code, in the same State, in the same metropolitanarea, or in the balance of the State, and in the same sizeclass based on estimated total employment. If the four-digit SIC code for an establishment was incomplete, theestablishment was placed in a stratum for miscellaneouscompanies. Because they were small, all companies wereincluded in the sample for the following three industries:SIC 1622, Bridge, Tunnel, and Elevated Highway Construc-tion Contractors; SIC 1795, Wrecking and Demolition WorkSpecial Trade Contractors; and SIC 1796, Installation orErection of Building Equipment Special Trade Contractors.
Estimation procedures for 1992 and 1987 data. Sinceall larger employer companies and some smaller oneswere included in the census, sample estimation wasrequired only for the universe of companies not selectedwith certainty. The published statistics are the totals of theestimates for the sampled companies and the aggregatesfor the certainty companies. All estimates for 1992 and1987 published here are simple unbiased estimates of theform:
nc
xβc
= Ξ£ xi/ p
ii = 1
where: xβc
is the simple unbiased estimate of a char-acteristic for a publication cell.
xi
is the reported value of a characteristic foran individual establishment in the publica-tion cell.
pi
is the selection probability of that firm.
nc
is the number of firms in the sample for thecell.
Data for certain characteristics were reported as apercentage of the dollar value of business done. Beforethis formula was applied to those characteristics, it wasnecessary to convert the reported percentages into dol-lars.
Reliability of employer statistics. Since the estimatesfor employer establishments in these reports are based onthe samples, they are subject to sampling variability andmay be expected to differ from results which would havebeen obtained if a complete census had been taken usingthe same forms and procedures. The sampling errorsshown in the tables were estimated directly from thesample reports, using methods appropriate for the sampledesign and form of estimation used. The relative standarderror is a measure of sampling variability; i.e., the variationthat might occur by chance because only a sample of thepopulation is surveyed. As calculated for this report, the
relative standard error also partially reflects the effect ofrandom errors of response and processing, but it does nottake into account the effect of any consistent biases due tothose types of errors. The chances are about 68 out of 100that an estimate from the sample would differ from acomplete census by less than the relative standard error.The chances are about 95 out of 100 that the difference isless than twice the relative standard error and about 99 outof 100 that it is less than 2-1/ 2 times the relative standarderror. Individual estimates with large relative standarderrors have been shown in the published tables. Any suchestimates should be used with caution. The very largerelative standard errors generally occur for the smallerestimates.
Relative standard errors have been calculated for all ofthe published statistics, although they are shown for eachstatistic only in the tables presenting detailed statistics.Other tables show relative standard errors only for certaincharacteristics because of lack of space.
As calculated for this report, the relative standard errormeasures certain nonsampling errors, but does not mea-sure any systematic biases in the data. Bias is the differ-ence, averaged over all possible samples with the samesize and design, between the estimates and the true valuebeing estimated. Nonsampling errors can be attributed tomany sources: inability to obtain information about allcases in the sample; definitional difficulties; differences ininterpretation of questions; inability or unwillingness ofrespondents to provide correct information; and errorsmade in processing the data. Although no direct measure-ments of the biases have been obtained, it is believed thatmost of the important response and operational errorswere detected in the course of reviewing the data forreasonableness and consistency.
A potential source of bias is in the imputation for thoseestablishments that have not responded by the time offinal publication. Data were estimated for establishmentsthat did not report by that date, although selected estab-lishments were contacted again to obtain as much infor-mation on the telephone as possible. Some publicationcells in which more than 40 percent of the data were notreported have been suppressed.
Nonemployer Companies
As described earlier, the information derived from thebusiness income tax returns of all companies was matchedto the census employer file on the basis of commonidentification numbers. Those business income tax returnswhich could not be matched were further classified on thebasis of several characteristics. Returns with characteris-tics consistent with companies without payroll were treatedas nonemployers. The nonemployer construction compa-nies were not required to file census reports.
For ββnumber of establishments,ββ each separate incometax return was assumed to be an establishment. ββAllbusiness receiptsββ was based on receipts informationreported on the tax return.

Since no sampling was involved in the nonemployerestablishments, the statistics for nonemployers are notsubject to sampling variability. However, these data aresubject to an unknown amount of reporting and processingerrors which could not be detected by the Census Bureau.
One such ββnonsamplingββ issue was raised in the pro-cessing of the 1992 statistics. For 1992, a relatively smallnumber of nonemployer records with revenues more than$1 million were excluded from tabulations. The exclusionof these records resulted in a significant decrease in totalnonemployer revenues from 1987, where no upper limitwas used. The large revenues are now assumed to beunreasonable for firms without employees. It is also likelythat these revenues are duplicated in revenues reported by(or imputed to) firms with paid employees. A comprehen-sive study of this issue is planned prior to the 1997 census.
CENSUS REPORT FORMS
Information for the 1992 Census of Construction Indus-tries was obtained from employer establishments primarilythrough the use of 22 questionnaires, determined byindustry classification and size. Standard forms and shortforms were developed for each of the following SICgroups: 15, 16, 171, 172, 173, 174, 175, 176, 177, 178, and179. Establishments with 1991 administrative payroll of$1,080,000 or more all received the standard form. Forthose sample establishments with payroll under that amount,half received the standard form and half received the shortform. The short forms covered only major items andomitted some of the detail found in the longer forms.
In reviewing and developing the questionnaires,comments and recommendations were elicited fromconstruction trade associations and advisory groups.
Also, approximately 6,000 establishments in SICβs 1521,1629, and 1799 were surveyed in the Census of Construc-tion Industries 1989 Pretest. This survey consisted of fourpanels which received one of four experimental question-naries and one panel which received the control question-naire. Along with the questionnaire, these establishmentsreceived an evaluation questionnaire, which requestedinformation about respondentsβ reactions to the question-naire, problems in completing the questionnaire, and howlong it took to complete the questionnaire. Results fromthe 1989 Pretest questionnaire are reflected as rewordedquestions, improved instructions, and restructured value ofbusiness questions in the 1992 questionnaires.
DATA PROCESSING
The 1992 census report forms were mailed out inDecember 1992. They were mailed from and returned tothe Census Bureauβs Data Preparation Division in Jeffer-sonville, IN, where routine editing and coding of the reportforms were also accomplished. Collection of these reportforms was essentially completed in July 1993.
The returned reports underwent extensive processing.A preliminary edit done at the time of data entry identifiedobviously deficient reports and reports needing clarifica-tion. When necessary, these problems were resolved byfurther contact with the respondents. Next, the data weretransmitted to Census Bureau headquarters near Wash-ington, DC.
Data records, then, underwent a detailed computerreview and analysis. The records containing significantproblems were referred for further analytical review and, ifnecessary, contacts were made with the respondents. Thecomputer performed most classification coding (such asindustry coding, geographic coding, and size coding), andimputation for missing items or for reports not received intime for tabulation. The imputation was performed on anindustry (or industry group) and State (or geographicgroup) basis using all available response and administra-tive data.
The data records were then tabulated on an industrybasis. Industry totals were subjected to analytical review,and selected statistics were prepared for the preliminaryreports. Corrections resulting from this review were madeto the computer records and final tabulations were pro-duced.
The review of a preliminary report for an industry oftenuncovered the need for corrections or revisions to the datafor another industry for which a preliminary report hadalready been published. The final reports incorporate allrevisions and corrections made during the review of thepreliminary reports and contain considerable more datathan were published in those reports.
GEOGRAPHIC CLASSIFICATION
Information for the 1992 Census of Construction Industriesβfinal industry report series is classified on the basis of twotypes of geographic distributions: (1) physical location ofthe establishment, and (2) location of construction work. Aseparate code was assigned on each basis allowing us topresent data by both physical location of the establishmentand location of construction work.
The geographic area reports series presents similardata by industry for each State (physical location of theestablishment) and for selected MSAβs, CMSAβs and PMSAβs.
CHANGE IN COLLECTION METHODOLOGY FORVALUE OF CONSTRUCTION WORK DONE
In 1987 and 1992, the ββvalue of construction workββ wascollected to better measure actual construction activitydone during the year. In 1992, this item was collected as atotal of three separate items. These items ( receipts fromconstruction contract work, value of speculative construc-tion work, and value of construction work done for ownuse) were collected separately to emphasize constructionactivity that had been poorly reported in previous cen-suses.

Receipts from the sale of land were not collectedseparately in 1992, as in 1987, but are still excluded fromthe value of construction work done.
All dollar values are shown in current dollars for theyears specified and have not been adjusted for inflation.
DUPLICATION IN VALUE OF CONSTRUCTIONWORK
The aggregate of value of construction work reported byall construction establishments in each of the severalindustry, geographic area, or other groupings in this cen-sus contains varying amounts of duplication, since theconstruction work of one firm may be subcontracted toother construction firms and may also be included in thesubcontractorsβ value of construction work. To avoid thisduplication, a ββnetββ value of construction work figure hasbeen derived for each establishment by subtracting thecosts for construction work subcontracted to others fromthe value of construction work.
Duplication in value of business between other construc-tion and nonconstruction industries results from the use ofproducts of these other industries as input materials byconstruction establishments. ββValue addedββ avoids thisduplication and is, for most purposes, the best measure forcomparing the relative economic importance of industriesor areas. ββValue addedββ is defined in the 1992 Census ofConstruction Industries as equal to dollar value of businessdone less costs for construction work subcontracted toothers and payments for materials, components, supplies,and fuels.
SPECIAL TABULATIONS
Special tabulations of data collected in the 1992 Censusof Construction Industries may be obtained on computertape or in tabular form. The data will be in summary formand subject to the same rules prohibiting disclosure ofconfidential information (including name, address, kind ofbusiness, or other data for individual business establish-ments or companies) as are the regular publications.
Special tabulations are prepared on a cost basis. Arequest for a cost estimate, as well as exact and detailedspecifications of the type and format of the data to beprovided, should be directed to the Chief, Manufacturingand Construction Division, Bureau of the Census, Wash-ington, DC 20233.

COMPARABILITY OF CENSUS OFCONSTRUCTION INDUSTRIES DATA WITHOTHER DATA
Data contained in the reports of the 1992 Census ofConstruction Industries are not the same as the datapublished in the Census Bureauβs monthly Construction
Reports, Series C30, Value of New Construction Put inPlace. The main difference is that the C30 series covers allnew construction put in place without regard to who isperforming the construction activity; whereas, the construc-tion census figures cover both new construction andmaintenance and repair work done by establishmentsclassified in the construction industry. Significant amountsof construction are done by establishments classifiedoutside of construction (in real estate, manufacturing,utilities, and communications, for example), both as ββforceaccountββ construction and construction done for others. Inaddition, the value in place series includes construction-related expenses such as architectural and engineeringcosts and the costs of materials supplied by owners whichare normally not reflected in the census of constructionindustries.
Data contained in the reports of the census of construc-tion industries may also differ from industry data in ββEmploy-ment and Earnings Statistics,ββ published by the Bureau ofLabor Statistics and ββStatistics of Income,ββ published bythe Internal Revenue Service. These differences arisefrom varying definitions of scope, coverage, timing, classi-fication, and methodology.

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS
This subject report provides data by legal form ofcompany organization and type of operation from the 1992Census of Construction Industries covering constructionestablishments with payroll. In addition, limited data onconstruction establishments with no payroll during 1992,obtained from administrative records of the Federal Gov-ernment, are also included. (Establishments with no payrollare, for the most part, companies owned and operated bya single person.)
As shown in table 1, there were 1.9 million constructionestablishments in the United States operating in the con-struction industries. These establishments accounted for$582 billion in total value of business done.
Most of the 1.9 million construction establishmentswere individually owned. There were 1.5 million individualproprietorships, accounting for 76 percent of all construc-tion establishments. However, these individual proprietor-ships accounted for only $74.1 billion in total value ofbusiness done, or 13 percent of all establishments. Estab-lishments classified as corporations accounted for 21percent of all establishments and 84 percent of the totalvalue of business done. Partnerships accounted for 3percent of all establishments and 3 percent of the totalvalue of business done. Establishments with other legalforms of organization and establishments which could notbe classified accounted for the balance.
ESTABLISHMENTS WITH PAYROLL
Table 2 provides more detailed information for estab-lishments with payroll. Selected statistics are shown bylegal form of company organization and type of operation(single- or multiunit companies). (See Technical Notes fordefinitions.)
Total value of construction work for all constructionestablishments with payroll in 1992 amounted to $528billion. Establishments of multiunit companies accountedfor only 2 percent of all establishments, but accounted for21 percent of the total value of construction work. Estab-lishments of single-unit companies accounted for 98 per-cent of the number of employer establishments and 79percent of the total value of construction work.
There were 342,262 establishments that operated ascorporations, accounting for 60 percent of all employerestablishments. They had total value of construction work
of $470 billion, 89 percent of the value of all establish-ments. There were 230,590 establishments, or 40 percentthat operated as individual proprietorships, partnerships,and other forms of organization which could not be clas-sified. They accounted for 11 percent of the total value ofconstruction work. Of these unincorporated establishments,205,250 were organized as individual proprietorships, and22,896 were partnerships. Establishments with other legalforms of organization and establishments which could notbe classified accounted for the balance.
Establishments of multiunit companies, on the average,were larger than those of single-unit companies. Theaverage multiunit establishment had 69 employees andtotal value of construction work of $10.5 million. Theaverage single-unit establishment had only 7 employeesand total value of construction work of $741 thousand.
Establishments operating as corporations tended to belarger than those operating as partnerships or individualproprietorships. The average corporate establishment had12 employees and total value of construction work of $1.4million. The average partnership establishment had 5employees and total value of construction work of $622thousand. The average for individual proprietorships wasapproximately 3 employees and total value of constructionwork of $203 thousand.
A ββconstruction establishmentββ is defined as a relativelypermanent office, or other place of business, where theusual business activities related to construction are con-ducted. A separate census report was required from eachsampled establishment covering domestic operations. Sepa-rate reports were not, however, required for each project orconstruction site.
For 1987 and earlier censuses, receipts from the sale ofland were collected separately for general contractors andoperative builders. These receipts were included in thetotal dollar value of business done but excluded from thevalue of construction work done. For 1992, receipts fromthe sale of land were not collected separately but are stillexcluded from the value of construction work done. Alldollar values are shown in current dollars for the yearsspecified and have not been adjusted for inflation.
Since the data in this report covering employer estab-lishments are estimated from a sample survey, they aresubject to sampling variability as well as errors of responseand nonreporting. The relative standard errors shown in

ESTABLISHMENTS WITHOUT PAYROLL
During 1992, there were 1.3 million establishments withno payroll classified as construction. According to admin-istrative records of the Federal Government, their value of
business done during 1992 was $42.5 billion. By far, mostof these establishments, about 93 percent, were individualproprietorships accounting for 75 percent of the total valueof business done.
For the establishments without payroll, only informationon total value of business done was available from admin-istrative records. Statistics on establishments without pay-roll are shown in table 1.

TECHNICAL NOTES
CENSUS DEFINITION OF COMPANY
The 1992 Census of Construction Industries was con-ducted as part of the 1992 Economic Censuses. A ββcom-pany,ββ as defined in the economic censuses, is a businessorganization consisting of one establishment or moreunder common ownership or control. Each company wasasked to report on all domestic operating establishments itowned or controlled (such as construction establishments,factories, mines, stores, sales offices, etc.) as well as itsseparate auxiliary activities (such as central offices, centralwarehouses, research and development laboratories, andother support functions within the company). All foreignactivities of these companies, however, were excludedfrom census coverage. Each company was also asked tospecify its legal form of organization (corporation, partner-ship, sole proprietorship, cooperative, etc.).
Through the ββCompany Organization Survey,ββ con-ducted annually, the Census Bureau determines whichestablishments are owned or controlled by multiestablish-ment companies. As a further aid in identifying establish-ments under common ownership or control, companyaffiliation inquiries appeared on questionnaires mailed inthe 1992 Economic Censuses.
Therefore, a ββcompanyββ consisted of all establishmentsspecified by the reporting company to be under its owner-ship or control. If the owning or controlling company was aββparentββ company having one subsidiary company ormore, all establishments of its subsidiaries were alsoincluded in the census definition of ββcompany.ββ
For purposes of this report, a ββsingle-unitββ company isdefined as a company which owns or controls only oneestablishment. A ββmultiunitββ company is a company whichowns or controls two establishments or more, at least oneof which comes within the scope of the economic cen-suses. Therefore, a company with two construction estab-lishments or more would be classified as a ββmultiunitββcompany, as would a company with only one constructionestablishment if the company also owns or controls oneestablishment or more in other lines of activity.
The data in this report covering establishments withpayroll were obtained from a sample survey. The user ofthese data also should keep in mind the definition of aconstruction establishment. Briefly stated, a ββconstruction
establishmentββ is defined as a relatively permanent officeor other place of business, where the usual businessactivities related to construction are conducted. Usually arelatively permanent office is one which has been estab-lished for the management of more than one project or joband which is expected to be maintained on a continuingbasis. Separate reports were not required for each con-struction project or construction site.
LEGAL FORM OF ORGANIZATION
Each establishment with payroll covered in the 1992Economic Censuses was classified into one of sevenspecified legal forms of organization. The seven classifi-cations consisted of:
1. Individual proprietorshipβ Companies owned by oneperson.
2. Partnershipβ Companies owned by two persons ormore, each of whom had a financial interest in thebusiness.
3. Corporationβ Companies (other than cooperatives)that were legally incorporated under State laws.
4. Cooperative association (taxable)β Companies ownedby an association of customers, whether or not theywere incorporated.
5. Cooperative association (tax-exempt)β Companiesowned by an association of customers, whether or notthey were incorporated.
6. Governmentβ Companies operated by or under thecontrol of a government entity or a board of directorseither appointed by such an entity or publicly elected.
7. Other legal formsβ Companies whose legal form oforganization was not one of those defined above.Included in this miscellaneous group were estates andreceiverships.
Establishments without payroll were classified into speci-fied legal forms of organization according to the type ofincome tax form filed (1040Cβindividual proprietorship;1065βpartnership; 1120 and 1120Sβcorporation).
