County Business Patterns (COUNTY)
STIPULATIONS FOR USE: Access Restricted to Penn State researchers and members of the Association of Population Centers (APC). The files prepared below were obtained from both the Census Bureau and ICPSR. Access to this collection is restricted because ICPSR does not allow third party redistribution beyond Penn State or the APC (permission to redistribute within the APC granted by ICPSR) and we cannot grant access to the data per year/wave.
DESCRIPTION: County Business Patterns provides data covering most of
the economic divisions of the economy; i.e. agricultural services,
mining, construction, manufacturing, transportation, public utilities,
wholesale trade, retail trade, finance, insurance, real estate, and
services. Summary data are provided on number of employees for the
mid-March pay period, first-quarter total payroll, total annual
payroll, number of establishments, and the number of establishments by
employment-size class. Data are tabulated by detailed kinds of
businesses based on the 1972 edition of the Standard Industrial
Classification (SIC) manual. Geographic areas tabulated are the United
States, the 50 states, the District of Columbia, standard metropolitan
statistical areas (SMSA's), New England county metropolitan areas
(NECMA's), and counties.
