¹The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) was developed jointly by the U.S., Canada, and Mexico. It is a comprehensive classification system which groups establishments into industries based on their primary activities, both goods producing and service producing. NAICS replaced the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) system. Data for 1998 through 2000 has been converted from SIC to NAICS. See the NAICS Manual at www.census.gov/epcd/www.naics.html.
²Services Providing includes Government.
