NOTES

All Countries

Industry Classification: The industry groupings included in this table are based on a modification of the 1987 U.S. Standard IndustrialClassification (SIC) system. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS), which went into effect for the reference year1997 in Canada and the United States and in 1998 in Mexico, differs from the system used in this table. NAICS industry categories willallow for greater data comparability and consistency across the three countries.Pipeline, excluding natural gas: For Canada and the United States, oil pipelines are included. Oil pipeline data for Mexico are includedin both manufacturing and mining and cannot be separated from these categories.Utilities: Include electricity, natural gas, water, sanitation and other utility services.Transportation services: Includes services of travel agencies, tour operators, freight forwarders and brokers, rental services and othermiscellaneous types of transportation services.

United States

Total: The GDP total does not equal the sum of industry categories due to the statistical discrepancy reported in the source data butomitted in this table. For the exact amounts of these, See Appendix B.
