| The 2006 MECS is currently in the field! |
The manufacturing sector consists of all
manufacturing establishments in the 50 States and the District
of Columbia. The 2002 MECS is EIA's sixth survey of the manufacturing
sector. Previous surveys were conducted in 1986, 1989, 1992,
1995, and 1999 (for reporting years 1985, 1988, 1991, 1994,
and 1998, respectively). Subsequent MECS are planned for every
four years. (See MECS attributes
for the 1991, 1994, and 1998 surveys).
The basic unit of data collection for this
survey is the manufacturing establishment. A nationally representative
sample of these establishments supplies the information through
mailed questionnaires. The 2002 MECS sample size of approximately
15,500 establishments was drawn from a sample frame representing
97-98% of the manufacturing payroll. This sample allowed EIA
to report separate estimates of energy use for 21 3-digit industry
subsectors, and 48 industry groups and industries according
to the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS)
