Overview
Industry at a Glance consists of profiles of 12 industry
supersectors. Each profile contains a variety of facts about the
industry supersector, and includes links to additional statistics. The
12 industry supersectors are Construction,
Education and Health Services, Financial
Activities, Government, Information,
Leisure and Hospitality, Manufacturing,
Natural Resources and Mining, Other
Services, Professional
and Business Services, Transportation and
Utilities, and Wholesale
and Retail Trade.
The supersectors presented here are based on the North American Industry
Classification System (NAICS). Many of the BLS programs that produce
industry data have converted to NAICS, but not all have. See the
BLS NAICS implementation schedule for a
timetable for conversion of BLS statistics to NAICS.
Note that, for the 11 supersectors other than government, the
industry profiles refer to private-sector employment.
Publicly-owned establishments such as public schools and public
hospitals are considered to be part of government.
The Contacts section in the right navigation
bar contains contact addresses and telephone numbers of BLS staff with expert knowledge of these industries and industry data.
