SIC/NAICS

This data standard provides information on business activity according to the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) and North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS). The SIC classification system defines economic activity into 10 divisions. Divisions are further broken down into numeric codes that define major industrial groups, industrial groups and industries. Descriptive text is also available to define industrial subdivisions. For example, B is the division code for mining. Numeric codes are hierarchical, as 10 - metal mining, 101 - iron ores, and 1011- establishments primarily engaged in mining, beneficiating, or otherwise preparing iron ores and manganiferous ores valued chiefly for their iron content.
