Introduction to
the Economic Census
PURPOSES AND USES OF THE ECONOMIC
CENSUS
The economic census is the major source of facts about
the structure and functioning of the Nation’s economy. It
provides essential information for government, business,
industry, and the general public.
The economic census furnishes an important part of the
framework for such composite measures as the gross
domestic product, input/output measures, production and
price indexes, and other statistical series that measure
short-term changes in economic conditions.
Policymaking agencies of the Federal Government use
the data, especially in monitoring economic activity and
providing assistance to business.
State and local governments use the data to assess
business activities and tax bases within their jurisdictions
and to develop programs to attract business.
Trade associations study trends in their own and com-
peting industries and keep their members informed of
market changes.
Individual businesses use the data to locate potential
markets and to analyze their own production and sales
performance relative to industry or area averages.
AUTHORITY AND SCOPE
Title 13 of the United States Code (sections 131, 191,
and 224) directs the Census Bureau to take the economic
census every 5 years, covering years ending in 2 and 7.
The 1992 Economic Census consists of the following eight
censuses:
• Census of Retail Trade
• Census of Wholesale Trade
• Census of Service Industries
• Census of Financial, Insurance, and Real Estate
Industries
• Census of Transportation, Communications, and
Utilities
• Census of Manufactures
• Census of Mineral Industries
• Census of Construction Industries
Special programs also cover enterprise statistics and
minority-owned and women-owned businesses. (The 1992
Census of Agriculture and 1992 Census of Governments
are conducted separately.) The next economic census is
scheduled to be taken in 1998 covering the year 1997.
AVAILABILITY OF THE DATA
The results of the economic census are available in
printed reports for sale by the U.S. Government Printing
Office and on compact discs for sale by the Census
Bureau. Order forms for all types of products are available
on request from Customer Services, Bureau of the Census,
Washington, DC 20233-8300. A more complete descrip-
tion of publications being issued from this census is on the
inside back cover of this document.
Census facts are also widely disseminated by trade
associations, business journals, and newspapers. Vol-
umes containing census statistics are available in most
major public and college libraries. Finally, State data
centers in every State as well as business and industry
data centers in many States also supply economic census
statistics.
WHAT’S NEW IN 1992
The 1992 Economic Census covers more of the economy
than any previous census. New for 1992 are data on
communications, utilities, finance, insurance, and real estate,
as well as coverage of more transportation industries. The
economic, agriculture, and governments censuses now
collectively cover nearly 98 percent of all economic activ-
ity.
Among other changes, new 1992 definitions affect the
boundaries of about a third of all metropolitan areas. Also,
the Survey of Women-Owned Businesses has now been
expanded to include all corporations.
HISTORICAL INFORMATION
The economic census has been taken as an integrated
program at 5-year intervals since 1967 and before that for
1963, 1958, and 1954. Prior to that time, the individual
subcomponents of the economic census were taken sepa-
rately at varying intervals.

The economic census traces its beginnings to the 1810
Decennial Census, when questions on manufacturing were
included with those for population. Coverage of economic
activities was expanded for 1840 and subsequent cen-
suses to include mining and some commercial activities. In
1902, Congress established a permanent Census Bureau
and directed that a census of manufactures be taken every
5 years. The 1905 Manufactures Census was the first time
a census was taken apart from the regular every-10-year
population census.
The first census of business was taken in 1930, cover-
ing 1929. Initially it covered retail and wholesale trade and
construction industries, but it was broadened in 1933 to
include some of the service trades.
The 1954 Economic Census was the first census to be
fully integrated—providing comparable census data across
economic sectors, using consistent time periods, con-
cepts, definitions, classifications, and reporting units. It
was the first census to be taken by mail, using lists of firms
provided by the administrative records of other Federal
agencies. Since 1963, administrative records also have
been used to provide basic statistics for very small firms,
reducing or eliminating the need to send them census
questionnaires. The Enterprise Statistics Program, which
publishes combined data from the economic census, was
made possible with the implementation of the integrated
census program in 1954.
The range of industries covered in the economic cen-
suses has continued to expand. The census of construc-
tion industries began on a regular basis in 1967, and the
scope of service industries was broadened in 1967, 1977,
and 1987. The census of transportation began in 1963 as
a set of surveys covering travel, transportation of commodi-
ties, and trucks, but expanded in 1987 to cover business
establishments in several transportation industries. For
1992, these statistics are incorporated into a broadened
census of transportation, communications, and utilities.
Also new for 1992 is the census of financial, insurance,
and real estate industries. This is part of a gradual expan-
sion in coverage of industries previously subjected to
government regulation.
The Survey of Minority-Owned Business Enterprises
was first conducted as a special project in 1969 and was
incorporated into the economic census in 1972 along with
the Survey of Women-Owned Businesses.
An economic census has also been taken in Puerto
Rico since 1909, in the Virgin Islands of the United States
and Guam since 1958, and in the Commonwealth of the
Northern Mariana Islands since 1982.
Statistical reports from the 1987 and earlier censuses
provide historical figures for the study of long-term time
series and are available in some large libraries. All of the
census data published since 1967 are still available for
sale on microfiche from the Census Bureau.
AVAILABILITY OF MORE FREQUENT
ECONOMIC DATA
While the census provides complete enumerations every
5 years, there are many needs for more frequent data as
well. The Census Bureau conducts a number of monthly,
quarterly, and annual surveys, with the results appearing in
publication series such as Current Business Reports (retail
and wholesale trade and service industries), the Annual
Survey of Manufactures, Current Industrial Reports, and
the Quarterly Financial Report. Most of these surveys,
while providing more frequent observations, yield less
kind-of-business and geographic detail than the census.
The County Business Patterns program offers annual
statistics on the number of establishments, employment,
and payroll classified by industry within each county.
SOURCES FOR MORE INFORMATION
More information about the scope, coverage, classifica-
tion system, data items, and publications for each of the
economic censuses and related surveys is published in the
Guide to the 1992 Economic Census and Related Statis-
tics. More information on the methodology, procedures,
and history of the census will be published in the History of
the 1992 Economic Census. Contact Customer Services
for information on availability.

Census of Retail Trade
GENERAL
The 1992 Census of Retail Trade, part of the 1992
Economic Census, covered retail trade as defined in the
Standard Industrial Classification Manual: 19871 (SIC). It
included all establishments primarily engaged in selling
merchandise for personal or household consumption and
rendering services incidental to the sale of the goods. The
census excluded governmental organizations classified in
the covered industries except for liquor stores operated by
State and local governments. Data for direct sellers (SIC
5963) with no paid employees and post exchanges, ship
stores, and similar establishments operated on military
posts by agencies of the Federal Government were not
included. The basic tabulations in this report do not include
data for establishments which are auxiliary (primary func-
tion is providing a service, such as warehouses) to retail
establishments within the same organization. Data for
auxiliaries are presented in a subsequent report issued as
part of the 1992 Enterprise Statistics reports.
For the 1992 Census of Retail Trade, large- and medium-
size firms, plus all firms known to operate more than one
establishment, were sent questionnaires to be completed
and returned to the Census Bureau by mail. For most very
small firms, including those with no paid employees, data
from existing administrative records of other Federal agen-
cies were used instead. These records provided basic
information on location, kind of business, sales, payroll,
number of employees, and legal form of organization. In
addition, more detailed information for selected kinds of
business was obtained on the various questionnaires.
Appendix A gives a more detailed explanation of census
coverage and methodology.
CENSUS DISCLOSURE RULES
In accordance with Federal law governing census reports,
no data are published that would disclose the operations of
an individual establishment or business. However, the
number of establishments in a kind-of-business classifica-
tion is not considered a disclosure; therefore, this informa-
tion may be released even though other information is
withheld.
GEOGRAPHIC AREAS COVERED
This report series presents data for the following areas:
1. The United States as a whole.
2. Each State and the District of Columbia.
3. Each consolidated metropolitan statistical area (CMSA)
and primary metropolitan statistical area (PMSA) defined
by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) as of
June 30, 1993. A CMSA is an area used to facilitate
the presentation and analysis of data for large con-
centrations of metropolitan populations. It includes
two or more contiguous PMSA’s which have a popu-
lation of at least 1,000,0002 and which meet specific
criteria of urban character and of social and economic
integration.
4. Each metropolitan statistical area (MSA) defined by
the OMB as of June 30, 1993. An MSA is an integrated
economic and social unit with a population nucleus of
at least 50,000 inhabitants.2 Each MSA consists of
one or more counties meeting standards of metropoli-
tan character; in New England, cities and towns rather
than counties are the component geographic units.
5. The area within the State outside metropolitan areas
(MA’s).
6. Each county or county equivalent.3 Counties are the
primary divisions of States, except in Louisiana where
they are called parishes and in Alaska where they are
called boroughs and census areas. Maryland, Mis-
souri, Nevada, and Virginia have one place or more
that is independent of any county organization and
constitutes primary divisions of their States. These
places are treated as counties and as places.
7. Each consolidated city.3 Consolidated cities are con-
solidated governments which consist of separately
incorporated municipalities.
8. Each municipality of 2,500 inhabitants or more incor-
porated as a city, borough, village, or town.2 3 For
the economic census, boroughs and census areas in
Alaska and boroughs in New York are not included in
this category.

DOLLAR VALUES
All dollar values presented in this report are expressed
in current dollars; i.e., 1992 data are expressed in 1992
dollars and 1987 data in 1987 dollars. Consequently, when
making comparisons to prior years, users of the data
should consider the inflation that has occurred.
RELIABILITY OF DATA
All data compiled in this report originated from either
census questionnaires or administrative records of other
Federal agencies and, therefore, are not subject to sam-
pling errors. However, the data are subject to nonsampling
errors. Nonsampling errors can be attributed to many
sources: inability to identify all cases in the actual universe;
definition and classification difficulties; differences in the
interpretation of questions; errors in recording or coding
the data obtained; and other errors of collection, re-
sponse, coverage, and estimation for missing or misre-
ported data.
The accuracy of these tabulated data is determined by
the joint effects of the various nonsampling errors. No
direct measurement of these effects has been obtained
except for estimation for missing or misreported data;
however, precautionary steps were taken in all phases of
the collection, processing, and tabulation of the data in an
effort to minimize the effects of nonsampling errors.
The Census Bureau obtains on computer tape limited
information extracted from administrative records of other
Federal agencies. This information is used in conjunction
with other information available to the Census Bureau to
develop estimates for nonemployers, small employers,
and other establishments for which responses were not
received in time for publication. For an indication of the
extent that data included in these reports were obtained
from the administrative records of other Federal agencies
and from estimation, rather than reports directly from
respondents, see appendix E. Also, see appendix A for a
more detailed explanation of census coverage and meth-
odology.
SPECIAL TABULATIONS
Special tabulations of data collected in the 1992 Census
of Retail Trade may be obtained, depending on availability
of time and personnel, on diskette, computer tape, or in
tabular form. The data will be in summary form and subject
to the same rules prohibiting disclosure of confidential
information (including name, address, kind of business, or
other data for individual business establishments or com-
panies) as are the regular publications.
Special tabulations are prepared on a cost basis. A
request for a cost estimate, as well as exact specifications
on the type and format of the data to be provided, should
be directed to the Chief, Services Division, Bureau of the
Census, Washington, DC 20233.

fications, call 1-800-541-8345.

Summary of Findings
Data from the 1992 Census of Retail Trade show that
Connecticut’s 21,012 retail stores with payroll had sales
totaling $27.8 billion. In 1987, 21,688 retail stores had
sales of $25.1 billion. The 1992 data represent an increase
of 10.6 percent in total retail sales for the State.
For establishments with payroll in 1992, sales of grocery
stores accounted for 18.6 percent of the State’s total sales
by retailers compared with 16.6 percent in 1987. Other
leading retail kinds of business in 1992 were new and used
car dealers with 15.9 percent of sales, department stores
(including leased departments) with 8.5 percent, and gaso-
line service stations with 6.9 percent.
For 1992, sales for establishments with payroll in the
State averaged $1.3 million per establishment, compared
with $1.2 million in 1987. In 1992, department stores
(including leased departments) averaged $16.2 million per
establishment; new and used car dealers, $12.1 million;
catalog and mail-order houses, $10.2 million; miscella-
neous general merchandise stores, $6.3 million; and gro-
cery stores, $3.4 million.
For retail establishments with payroll, 1992 sales per
employee averaged $115 thousand. New and used car
dealers had sales per employee of $378 thousand, which
contrasts sharply with the $32 thousand per employee
average for restaurants.
The 1992 payroll of retailers in the State amounted to
$3.5 billion, compared with $3.1 billion for 1987. Payroll as
a percent of sales of establishments with payroll averaged
12.5 percent for all retailers, 28.7 percent for retail baker-
ies, compared with 6.3 percent for gasoline service sta-
tions.
There were 240,886 paid employees (full- and part-time)
engaged in retail trade in the State as of mid-March 1992,
compared with 267,611 employees in 1987. Large employ-
ers included grocery stores with 38,763 employees, res-
taurants with 37,116 employees, and refreshment places
with 23,306 employees.
