The classification system conversion information on this page details a prior conversion. More information about NAICS, previous versions of NAICS, and the current classification system can be obtained at www.bls.gov/ces/naics/home.htm.
With the release of January 2008 data on February 1, 2008, the Current Employment Statistics (CES) program updated its National Nonfarm Payroll series to the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) 2007 from the NAICS 2002 basis and also released the annual benchmark revision. For more information about NAICS in the CES program, see www.bls.gov/ces/naics/home.htm.
The conversion to NAICS 2007 resulted in minor definitional changes within manufacturing, telecommunications, financial activities, and professional and technical services. Several industry titles and descriptions also were updated.
Detailed tables on series affected by the update to NAICS 2007:
Note: Under NAICS 2007, Press Release table B-1 is the only Press Release table with minor changes. These changes are composed of one discontinued employment series and three title changes.
For more information on NAICS 2007, see www.census.gov/epcd/www/naics.html.
All CES series are evaluated annually for sample size, coverage, and response rates. Some very small industries no longer have sufficient sample to be estimated and published separately. The following series were discontinued:
The CES survey also updated industry titles to reflect similar changes in the NAICS 2007 update. The scope of each industry is not affected by the title changes.
