“The Comparative Statistics Report compares economic census data to the previous economic census on the same North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) basis. This includes data on number of establishments, total sales, annual payroll and number of paid employees. The data is presented at the two- and three-digit levels, and on selected four- through seven-digit 2012 NAICS levels for 2012 and 2007 for the U.S. and the states. This differs from the bridge report, which presented data for 2012 for NAICS that have changed between 2007 and 2012. This concludes the Core Business Statistics Series for the 2012 Economic Census.”
