These figures are based upon the North American Industrial Classification Code (NAICS), which replaced the Standard Industrial Classification Code (SIC) system used by the Massachusetts Dept. of Employment and Training (DET) prior to 2001. As a result, comparisons cannot be drawn between the figures cited here and figures based upon the SIC classification system, including all DET local figures available prior to 2001. For more information on the NAICS system see http://www.census.gov/epcd/www/naics.html. | ||
