Introduction to NAICS. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) is the standard used by Federal statistical agencies in classifying business establishments for the purpose of collecting, analyzing, and publishing statistical data related to the U.S. business economy.
NAICS was introduced in 1997 and is periodically revised to reflect changes in the industrial structure of the U.S. and North American economy. NAICS provides a tool to ensure that economic statistics reflect the changing economy. However, improved statistics will result in time series breaks.
