Comparability Symbols link to the Bridge Between NAICS and SIC, 1997
(Bridge complete.) Comparable NAICS derivable from SIC data.
(Drawbridge slightly open.) Almost comparable Sales or receipts from SIC are within 3% of NAICS sales or receipts.
(Drawbridge open.) Not comparable NAICS sales or receipts cannot be estimated within 3% from SIC data.
