ind_lookup: NAICS Industry Titles Lookup Table (QCEW)

Description

A data frame containing the structure of the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) titles and codes used by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), including in the Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages (QCEW) program. This data is current as of the 2022 NAICS revision.

This table is primarily used internally by `BLSloadR` functions to add human-readable industry titles or define valid industry lookups.

Usage

data(ind_lookup)

Format

A data frame with 2678 rows and 7 columns:

• industry_code - Character. The NAICS industry code. Items starting with 10 are aggregated values, not corresponding to a unique 6-digit NAICS.

• industry_title - Character. The descripion of the industry code provided by the BLS. This title also includes the code value for clarity.

• ind_level - Character. A description of the level of aggregation. Values are "Total", "Cluster", or "Supersector" for the "10" code aggregations, or else the length of the NAICS code, from 2-6 digits.

• naics_2d - Character. The first two digits of `industry_code`, which may be helpful to filter the results.

• sector - Character. Similar to `naics_2d` except that when the industry sector spans multiple two digit codes, those codes are hyphenated (e.g. Manufacturing is NAICS 31, 32, and 33, so this displays '31-33').

• vintage_start - Integer. The earliest year reviewed for NAICS code use. NAICS will change every 5 years, so data from before this year will have some missing values.

• vintage_end - Integer. The last year that a particular code is used, if applicable. Set to 3000 for current codes.

Details

The NAICS structure is hierarchical. Codes are typically longer for more detailed industries.

Examples

# Load the lookup table
data(ind_lookup)

# Find the industry title for NAICS 51 (Information)
ind_lookup[ind_lookup$industry_code == "51", ]

# Get the supersector codes
supersectors <- ind_lookup[ind_lookup$ind_level == "Supersector", ]

# Get all 3-digit NAICS codes in the Manufacturing industry
mfg_codes <- ind_lookup |> 
dplyr::filter(sector == "31-33" & ind_level == "NAICS 3-digit")
