M3 SERIES IDENTIFICATION CODE:

Note: Position 7-8 NS indicates no semiconductor data in aggregate series.

The M3 series identification code is a 6-digit field. The structure of the code within the field is as follows:

Position Codes

Position 1       U- Unadjusted (Seasonally)

  OR

                      A- Seasonally Adjusted

Position 2-4     M3 Series

This field contains aggregate level data series, 2-digit NAICS subsector series and M3 industry categories.

* The series identification codes are listed here in the order they appear in the historic data files.
