Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

Created by the Office of Management and Budget and the U.S. Census Bureau in 1997, the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) is the first such system of industries: a joint three-country effort resulting from the passage of NAFTA. It replaces the 1987 U.S. Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) as well as the comparable systems in Canada and Mexico. This work includes hundreds of new industries, with definitions of every listed entry and tables showing correspondence between the 1997 NAICS and the 1987 SIC codes. It concludes with a comprehensive index of industries and their codes. Since these six-digit codes are needed for much economic and business analysis and research, this hefty but relatively inexpensive volume is essential for major public libraries, academic libraries, and collections with large business sections.?Donald Altschiller, Boston Univ.
