2010 ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT INDICATORS BIZMINER METHODOLOGY

BizMiner uses an industry classification system based on the four-digit Standard Industrial Classification system. However, our system is much more granular, detailing 10,000 to 16,000 lines of business in various report series. This system also allows us to present a much more in-depth level of trend detail than the current NAICS system used by the United States and Canadian governments. It is most effective in developing industry trends, snapshots, experience-based forecasts and averages. Statistics in our reports are always based on firms that identify a particular classification as their primary line of business. Not every business identifies beyond a Major Industry (two-digit) and Detailed Industry (four-digit) classification; not every business selects a more detailed line of business as its primary classification. This is important for researchers assessing market volume, which in our reports is based on businesses primarily in a given classification, and does not include sales data for firms which may operate this type of business as a secondary or tertiary line.
