LMI Reader Logo Industry Information:
SIC/NAICS & Research on Major Industries

By: Gayle C. Edlin

Industries are often mentioned in discussions about Labor Market Information (LMI--refer to the article by Gayle C. Edlin in the September 1997 issue of Trends). A business* is classified into an industry based on its primary economic activity. Currently, businesses are grouped or classified into industries according to the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) system (refer to 1995 Annual Covered Employment for the State of Wyoming), but soon these classifications will be done by following the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS--refer to the article by Mike Evans in the April 1997 issue of Trends).

Analyzing industry information can be a valuable means of learning more about the labor market. Occupations may be compared across industries (refer to the article by Gayle C. Edlin in the October 1995 issue of Trends), as may wages (refer to the article by Chris Garrard in the July 1995 issue of Trends), and wages by gender (refer to the article by Mary Beth O’Loughlin in the August 1997 issue of Trends), just to name a few. Many other industry-based LMI analyses are possible as well, by taking basic industry information and combining it with other data sources such as demographic data.

Furthermore, past information may be used to project what might happen in the future (refer to 1994 - 1998 What Does the Future Have in Store for the Wyoming Labor Market?). This can help individuals make decisions about the sort of industries (hence, the types of jobs) for which they might wish to train. It also might help businesses decide whether or not to relocate in Wyoming. Finally, industry projections may assist education professionals in determining future curricula, especially at technical schools.

The following articles should help clarify what industries are and how businesses are classified by industry, as well as some analyses that may be performed utilizing industry information.

*There are about 15,000 Unemployment Insurance (UI) accounts in Wyoming; these accounts represent businesses (firms). Without some reasonable and useful means of organizing, classifying and/or grouping these firms based on common characteristics, it would be impossible to produce any economic analyses of the businesses.

(“Definitions”)
An industry is the type of activity in which a business is engaged. An example of an industry is Mining.

(“Wyoming’s Changing Economy: From the Boom to the Bust to the Present”)
The major industries, according to ES-202, are divided into the private- and public-sector. Private-sector industries include: Agriculture; Mining; Construction; Manufacturing; Transportation & Public Utilities (TPU); Wholesale Trade; Retail Trade; Finance, Insurance, & Real Estate (FIRE); and Services. Public-sector industries include: State Government; Local Government; and Federal Government.

(“VIII. Technical Appendix”)
Employment and wage data are classified according to the codes and titles published in the 1987 edition of the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) Manual prepared by the Office of Statistical Standards, U. S. Bureau of the Budget, Executive Office of the President. SIC's provide a numerical classification of establishments on the basis of their principal economic activity. The SIC classification system was developed for the purpose of promoting a uniform presentation of statistics by federal agencies, state governments, and private research organizations. A list of SIC titles is included in this publication.

The SIC codes assigned to UI covered reporting units must be periodically reviewed and updated. This process is referred to as SIC Refiling or the Annual Refiling Survey (ARS). The ARS is conducted to verify or correct the industry, geographic, and ownership codes assigned to employers who are covered under Wyoming Unemployment Insurance (UI) Laws. Wyoming, along with all other states in the United States, reports the resulting industry and geographic code corrections to the Bureau of Labor Statistics on the Code Change Supplement (CCS) file every year.

1987 Standard Industrial Classification Manual, Executive Office of the President, Office of Management and Budget, p. 3
(“Preface”)
The Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) is the statistical classification standard underlying all establishment-based Federal economic statistics classified by industry. The SIC is used to promote the comparability of establishment data describing various facets of the U.S. economy. The classification covers the entire field of economic activities and defines industries in accordance with the composition and structure of the economy. It is revised periodically to reflect the economy’s changing industrial organization.

On February 22, 1984, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) published a Federal Register notice of intent to revise the Standard Industrial Classification for 1987. In response, businesses, trade associations, individuals, and Federal, State, and local government agencies submitted proposals for over 1,100 individual changes.

(“New Industrial Classification System Will Affect All Industry Statistics”)
Recently, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) introduced the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) to replace the existing 1987 Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) system and the previous classification revision of 1972. The NAICS Administrative Committee, headed by OMB, defined NAICS jointly with Canada and Mexico to obtain comparable economic and statistical information combining the three countries' existing classification systems for economic analysis of trends and developments. Once the definitions have been agreed upon this summer, the three North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) partners will implement NAICS. Printed materials detailing NAICS will not be available until late in 1997.

The purpose of an industrial classification system is to group industries and name firms according to common characteristics, so that one can organize specific statistical information such as import/export, employment, tax revenues, and/or wage information. They can classify, or code, any business or establishment into an industry. In addition, the NAICS system makes it possible to compare industry statistics among national, state, and local economies. Under the SIC system, one cannot compare between countries.

The evolution of the industrial classification system is nothing new, as it has been revised every 10 to 15 years since its inception in the 1930's. The change from SIC to NAICS, however, represents a fundamental break with the past in certain industries. The new system gives special attention to new and emerging industries, especially those using high technological and other services sectors that have similar production processes. NAICS will reflect the restructuring of the economies, especially to accommodate past and on going changes in the economic structure of the countries.

The use of NAICS makes substantial structural breaks in time series in most industries. Time series breaks will affect projections and comparisons of statistics over time (e.g., comparing employment by industry from 1988 to 1998). This article will show the interrelationship between the 1987 SIC and the new classification system and the changes taking place.

Differences Between the Two Systems
The structure of NAICS taxonomy is based on a production-oriented, or supply-based, conceptual framework instead of an output-based framework, which characterized SIC. For example, in the Manufacturing industry, Logging is based on log output under SIC, and is now under Agriculture, Forestry, & Fishing with NAICS due to trees being production-oriented to Forestry.

NAICS is a six-digit code, while a four-digit code identified SIC industries. The first two digits of NAICS identify the general Sector or major Division, while the third, fourth, and fifth digits are more specific to the operations of the industry. Each Sector or Division is divided into many groups and each group is separated further into specific production operations identified by five-and six-digit NAICS codes. For example, the Mining Sector (two-digit) is divided into three groups (three-digit): Oil & Gas Extraction, Mining Except Oil & Gas, and Support Activities for Mining. The Mining Except Oil & Gas industry is divided into three more groups (four-digit): Coal, Metal Ore, and Non-Metallic Mineral, and so on (see Figure 1). The NAICS Administrative Committee standardized the first five digits of the NAICS code between countries striving for compatibility at the two-digit level with the International Standard Industrial Classification (ISIC)1, while the sixth digit is used to identify subdivisions to satisfy user needs in individual countries. Provided that one meets other measurement standards (i.e., monetary exchange rates), one could make direct comparisons among the three national economies.

Figure 1: NAICS 
Industrial Classification Structure

Affects of Transition on All Industries
The Table bridges the two systems and compares all major industries between the one-digit SIC Code2 and the two-digit NAICS Code3. OMB developed the NAICS system for compatibility with the SIC system, although the numerical codes will invariably change.

NAICS groups economic activity into 21 sectors, up from the 11 major divisions in the SIC system (see the Table). The total number of industries is increasing to 1,171, compared with 1,004 under the SIC system. An example that illustrates why the number of sectors is increasing follows: NAICS classifies the Construction sector under Code 11 compared with Construction Division C under the SIC system, although Management, Support, Waste, & Remediation Services industry (Code 57) is added to the Construction industry under NAICS. The 1987 system left three quarters of all firms by industry unchanged from the previous classification system of 1972; NAICS will leave two-thirds unchanged compared with the SIC system but they will be re-numbered, re-labeled, and described differently. More than one-third of the industries formerly coded in the SIC system will be split into new NAICS designations. Series disruptions could affect a total of 511 industries and cause comparisons between 1997 and 1998 economic activity to be distorted. Some industries will have time series breaks in the data greater than three percent of the 1992 value of output for the 1987 industry4. There are a total of 256 industry breaks for all industries. These time series breaks not only cause statistical disruptions for the users in the industries redefined, but also in the broad sectors that we use to describe our economy. When changing from SIC to NAICS, there will be a total of 361 new industries not previously separately recognized, while 661 industries can be directly matched and 344 industries split into various industries. Often, differences in employment between NAICS and SIC may not be due to firms having changed their primary industrial activity, but due to the different coding assignments, which cause time series breaks even when the new system directly matches the SIC system.

Affects on Various Industries
An example of the new system with the only direct match and no statistical affects from SIC to NAICS follows: under SIC, Mining is coded as Division B, but under NAICS, Mining is classified under the two-digit code 21 with the same definition. Agriculture, Forestry, & Fishing is another direct match, although part of the Agriculture, Forestry, & Fishing industry is under the Manufacturing industry with SIC coding, affecting comparisons over time. For example, a large portion of the Manufacturing industry from the SIC system, Logging, moved into the Agriculture, Forestry, & Fishing industry, although the industry is existing rather than a new and emerging industry (see Figure 2). To compare employment levels from NAICS back to the SIC system for the Agriculture, Forestry, & Fishing industry, one would have to subtract the employment moved from the SIC category in the form of Manufacturing/Logging industry from NAICS and add it to the SIC system Agriculture, Forestry, & Fishing industry. This kind of change, shifting Logging from the Manufacturing industry to the Agriculture, Forestry, Fishing & Hunting Sector will influence major industry comparisons over time5 due to the shift of employment from the SIC Manufacturing industry to the Agriculture, Forestry, & Fishing industry, but will not be due to an economic affect.

On the other hand, the Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services (NAICS code 56) is a newly created sector within NAICS. NAICS will also create the new industry of Management, Support, Waste, & Remediation Services (Code 57) formally under the Services, TCPU (Transportation, Communications, & Public Utilities--Electric, Gas, & Sanitary Services), Manufacturing, and Construction industries. The Construction industry has been revised to include two sectors under NAICS: Construction and Management, Support, Waste, & Remediation Services (see the Table) affecting comparisons over time.

Comparison of Classification Systems for Major Industries Between 
NAICS and SIC

Solutions & Conclusions
The past approach to preserving time series continuity (e.g., SIC change in 1987) after classification system revisions is to create linkages at the firm level where the series breaks. Over the next three years, producing a dual data series will create linkages using both the SIC and new classifications for a given period of transition from 1997 to 2000 enabling one to cross-reference NAICS and SIC. We can assess the full impact of the revisions with the dual classifications of data.

We will see the conversion from the SIC system to NAICS as an important step in providing a strong foundation for statistical information in coming decades. Nonetheless, the immediate challenge is to help the users of the data deal with the series breaks over time.

(“Wages for Sales, Clerical and Service Occupations: By Industry and Full- or Part-Time Status”)
We are also able to examine the data in other dimensions. For instance, in those occupations in which the Mining industry is represented, Mining usually has the highest wages for full-time work. Figure 1 (average hourly wages for each industry, broken out by full- and part-time status) indicates that the Mining industry, as a whole, pays the most for full- time work. Mining is definitely the highest paying industry for full-time workers at $14.64 per hour, with Wholesale Trade ($11.58/hr) coming in second, and Retail Trade ($7.61/hr) at the bottom. The situation changes with part-time work, however. Agriculture then becomes the most lucrative industry at $10.37 per hour, and Mining drops down into fourth place. Retail Trade keeps its title as the lowest paying industry.

Industry

(“The Relation of Age and Gender to Employment in Wyoming: Part One of a New Analysis Utilizing Wage Records”)
Only two industries have more than 60 percent female employment. Apparel & Other Finished Products (73.9%) employs many seamstresses. The majority of Transportation Services (62.0%) employment is from travel agencies.

If the same breakpoint is used when looking at the males, then 28 of the 39 industry groups have 60 percent or more male employment. Furthermore, 21 industries are more than 70 percent and five are more than 90 percent. Not surprisingly, every industry in Mining and Construction is male-dominated with the lowest percentage at 87.3. Transportation & Public Utilities, Agriculture and Manufacturing, especially Durable Goods, all have high percentages of male employment. Across the United States, women are playing a larger role in the workforce and the state of Wyoming is no exception. In the past 15 years, we have seen women in Wyoming's labor force grow from 37.3 percent to 46.4 percent.

Age
This article focuses on gender as a discriminating factor with age included for descriptive purposes. The minimum age is in the teens for most industries, while the maximum is commonly in the 70's, 80's or 90's. Wyoming's workforce is very productive. The mean age (arithmetic average) is typically in the 30's or 40's for males and females. The average age of all workers included in this database is 38. The median (value where half the cases are less than and half the cases are greater than) is usually very close to the mean with a few exceptions. When the median differs from the mean, the number of individuals in the sample is generally small (less than 20).

Average Weekly Wage by Gender and Industry
Since some of the values for the minimum weekly wage in the database are quite low, it is evident that some people worked less than a full quarter (or part-time). The maximum wage varied widely between industries; the highest value was a male in Rubber & Miscellaneous Plastics Products. The average weekly wage for all employees was $408.47. The difference between males and females was substantial, with males earning $528.29 and females $270.24. When comparing the mean wage to the median, similar to age, most industries were relatively the same with a few notable exceptions. For females, one exception was in Furniture & Fixtures where the median was $38.46 and the mean was $237.82. This, again, is probably a result of a small sample size for this industry. The biggest difference for males is in Rubber & Miscellaneous Plastics Products with an astounding mean of $1,294.83 and a median of only $369.28. This industry doesn't suffer from a small sample size. Also having notable differences among males were Primary Metal Industries and Electronic & Other Electrical Equipment.

As was mentioned earlier, other factors besides gender influence the amount of wages. While these other factors are not addressed in this article, some comparisons based on gender are still valid. In comparing the mean wages of the different industries, a definite pattern is evident. In every industry, males make more than females. In some industries, the difference is not that substantial ($50 - 100 per week), but in most industries the difference is $200 - 400. The difference is even greater than this in some industries.

(“Steady Work Pays Off: Wyoming Unemployment Insurance Wage Records Revisited”)
For instance, comparing the numbers of steady and non-steady workers, reveals distinct differences among industries (see the Figure). Public Administration is the only industry which exhibits a higher percentage of steady workers than non-steady workers by quarterly average. Indeed, Public Administration is the only industry which had a higher percentage of steady workers (i.e., more than 50%) and it maintains this singular distinction in each quarter except 92Q3 and 93Q3. Not surprisingly, Retail Trade, Agriculture and Construction compose the three industries which consistently have the lowest percentages of steady workers by quarterly average and in each quarter as well. This may be due, at least in part, to the seasonal nature of these industries.

Quarterly 
Average: Percent of Steady Workers

Trends, August 1997, Vol. 34 - #8, Mary Beth O’Loughlin, p. 2
(“Gender, Tenure and Wages”)
In all of the industries, female wages lagged behind over all four years in the study by an average of 38.5 percent, with a peak difference after three years employment of 39.4 percent behind male wages. Service and Retail Trade industries are dominated by female employees, but the wages do not reflect this. Over all four years, females earn an average of 40.0 percent less than males in the Services industry and 38.3 percent less in the Retail Trade industry.

Again, please note that information on occupations and hours worked per week is not available. Females have historically worked in lower paying occupations than males within the same industry. For example, in the Finance, Insurance, & Real Estate (FIRE) industry after one year of tenure, females only earned 31.2 percent of the wages their male counterparts earned. In this industry, males are more likely involved in the higher paying occupations.

(“Industry Projections 1993 - 1996")
Jobs? What kind of jobs, and where are they? In researching the answers to these and other questions, the Research & Planning Section of Wyoming's Department of Employment has projected that between 1993-1996 Wyoming's service-producing industries are expected to add 10,261 out of a total 12,028 new jobs. The jobs are expected to be concentrated in Retail Trade (10.3% growth) and Services (10.1% growth). The remaining jobs are expected to be in the goods- producing, Construction industry--11.7 percent growth.

The service-producing industry increase represents 85.3 percent of available new jobs. With the 1993 annual average salary for service-producing industries at $16,488 (all salary figures derived from 1993 Annual Covered Employment and Wages, ES-202, data), if the projections hold true, Wyoming citizens will face an increasing number of relatively low paying jobs.
