  • Identify your industry using new NAICS codes
    (they are replacing SIC codes).  See the NAICS website.  Once you have your NAICS code, you can obtain data for a specific NAICS industry by going to the  1997 Economic Census website. This website provides data at the sector level. You may also click on the down arrow, under the heading "More data", and get data at the subsector and industry levels. You may also get data by state, or selected metro area by using the pull-down menus in the upper right hand corner of the page. You may also obtain data from the  American Fact Finder website.  In this site, look under the Economic Census tab at the bottom of the page. You can obtain a quick report by either industry or geography by clicking on the links listed. Beginning with the 1998 data year, the annual County Business Patterns reports provide employment, payroll, number of establishments (but not sales/receipts).
