Census of Service Industries
Description & Updates |
http://www.columbia.edu/cu/lweb/indiv/usgd/ecocensus/services.html
The services portion of the economic census has seen the most changes over the
years, as the country changed from an agricultural and manufacturing base to a
services base. In 1997, the services area was divided into 11 different report
sectors. Descriptions of each sector and its geographic coverage are described
on the 1997
Economic Census page, from the U.S. Census Burea.
Those sectors can be updated using the following sources:
- Annual
Survey of Communication Services
- Service
Annual Survey
- Public
Elementary-Secondary Education Finance Data
- Health
Insurance Data
- County
Business Patterns
- County Business Patterns is an annual series that provides subnational
economic data by industry. The series is useful for studying the economic
activity of small areas; analyzing economic changes over time; and as a
benchmark for statistical series, surveys, and databases between economic
censuses. This series has been published annually since 1964 and at irregular
intervals dating back to 1946. The comparability of data over time may be
affected by definitional changes in establishments, activity status, and
industrial classifications.
