Bridge Between North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) and Standard Industrial Classification (SIC)

Nonemployer Statistics provide U.S. and subnational economic data by industry for businesses without paid employees that are subject to federal income tax. The series is useful for studying the economic activity of small businesses at various geographic levels. Most types of businesses covered by the Census Bureau economic statistics programs are included in the nonemployer statistics. Tax-exempt businesses are excluded. All of the Agriculture, Forestry, Fishing, and Hunting sectors, except crop and animal production, are covered in nonemployer statistics; these industries typically are not covered in other Census Bureau economic programs. Nonemployer businesses are generally small, such as real estate agents and independent contractors. Although nonemployers constitute a large part of the business universe in terms of number of establishments, they contribute a relatively small portion of the overall sales and receipts data. The data are presented by geographic area, industry, size of firm, and receipts.

The Survey of Minority-Owned Business Enterprises (SMOBE) is conducted in conjunction with the Survey of Women-Owned Business Enterprises (SWOBE). The SMOBE and SWOBE provide basic economic data on businesses owned by African American, persons of Alaska Native, American Indian, Asian, or Pacific Islander descent, persons of Hispanic or Latin American ancestry, and women. These surveys are based on the entire firm rather than the individual locations of a firm. The published data cover number of firms, gross receipts, number of paid employees, and annual payroll. The data are presented by geographic area, industry, size of firm, and legal form of organization of firm.
