North American Industry
Classification System
(NAICS)
The North American Industry Classification
System (NAICS) has replaced the U.S.
Standard Industrial Classification (SIC)
system. NAICS will reshape the way we view
our changing economy.
NAICS was developed jointly by the U.S.,
Canada, and Mexico to provide new
comparability in statistics about business
activity across North America.
