1997 Surveys of Minority- and Women-Owned Business Enterprises
Hispanic
The 1997 Hispanic report provides data on
both the number of employer and nonemployer firms,
sales and receipts, annual payroll, and employment. Data
aggregates are presented by ethnic group for the
United States by two-digit Standard Industrial Classification
(SIC) code, industry division by state, employment and
receipts size, and legal form of organization.
The data in this report were compiled by combining
data collected on business owners in the 1997 Economic
Census Surveys of Minority- and Women-Owned Business
Enterprises with data collected on the main economic census
and administrative records. Included are all nonfarm
businesses filing 1997 tax forms as individual proprietorships,
partnerships, and any type of corporation, and with
receipts of $1,000 or more.
Minority ownership of a business was based on the
ethnicity of the person(s) owning majority interest in
the business. Businesses in which ownership was shared
among minority and nonminority groups, with no single
racial/ethnic group having majority interest, were tabulated
as 50-percent minority-/50-percent nonminority-owned
and were excluded from the minority business counts.
Businesses with publicly held stock whose ownership
was indeterminate relative to gender, race, or ethnicity,
and nonprofit, foreign-owned, and mutual companies were
tabulated separately and published in the ‘‘other’’ category
of the Company Summary publication.
