The Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) is a system for classifying industries by a four-digit code. Established in the United States in 1937, it is used by government agencies to classify industry areas. The SIC system is also used by agencies in other countries, e.g., by the United Kingdom's Companies House.
In the United States, the SIC code has been replaced by the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS code), which was released in 1997. Some U.S. government departments and agencies, such as the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), continued to use SIC codes through at least 2019.
The SIC code for an establishment, that is, a workplace with a U.S. address, was determined by the industry appropriate for the overall largest product lines of the company or organization of which the establishment was a part. The later NAICS classification system has a different concept, assigning establishments into categories based on each one's output.
Purpose
In
the early 1900s, each branch of a United States government agency would
conduct business analysis using its own methods and metrics, unknown
and meaningless to other branches. In the 1930s, the government needed
standardized and meaningful ways in which to measure, analyze and share
data across its various agencies. Thus, the Standard Industrial
Classification system was born. SIC codes are four-digit numerical
representations of major businesses and industries. SIC codes are
assigned based on common characteristics shared in the products,
services, production and delivery system of a business.
Structure
SIC
codes have a hierarchical, top-down structure that begins with general
characteristics and narrows down to the specifics. The first two digits
of the code represent the major industry sector to which a business
belongs. The third and fourth digits describe the sub-classification of
the business group and specialization, respectively. For example, "36"
refers to a business that deals in "Electronic and Other Equipment."
Adding "7" as a third digit to get "367" indicates that the business
operates in "Electronic, Component and Accessories." The fourth digit
distinguishes the specific industry sector, so a code of "3672"
indicates that the business is concerned with "Printed Circuit Boards."
Uses
The U.S. Census Bureau, Bureau of Labor Statistics, Internal Revenue Service and Social Security Administration
utilize SIC codes in their reporting, although SIC codes are also used
in academic and business sectors. The Bureau of Labor Statistics updates
the codes every three years and uses SIC to report on work force, wages
and pricing issues. The Social Security Administration assigns SIC
codes to businesses based on the descriptions provided by employers
under the primary business activity entry on employer ID applications.
Limitations
Over
the years, the U.S. Census has identified three major limitations to
using the SIC system. The first limitation surrounds its definition and
mistaken classification of employee groups. For example, administrative
assistants in the automotive industry support all levels of the
business, yet the SIC defines these employees as part of the "Basic
Sector" of manufacturing jobs when they should be reported as
"Non-Basic." Secondly, SIC codes were developed for traditional
industries prior to 1970. Business has changed considerably since then
from manufacturing-based to mostly service-based. As a result, and
thirdly the SIC has been slow to recognize new and emerging industries,
such as those in the computer, software, and information technology
sectors.
History of the change to NAICS
The Office of Management and Budget, or OMB, was tasked with revising the SIC system to reflect changing economic conditions. The OMB established the Economic Classification Policy Committee in 1992 to develop a new system representative of the current industrial climate. The result was the North American Industry Classification System,
or NAICS, a collaborative effort between Canada, the U.S. and Mexico.
NAICS expanded the four-digit SIC code to a six-digit code, and it
provided more flexibility in handling emerging industries. The new code
was implemented in Canada and the United States in 1997 and in Mexico
one year later.
NAICS classified establishments (workplace) by their main output,
instead of classifying them with the larger firm or organization of
which the establishment was a part. This gives more precise information
on establishment and worker activities than the SIC system, but changed
the meaning of the classifications somewhat, making some time series of
data hard to sustain accurately. Fort and Klimek (2016) found using
longitudinal data on establishments that the switch from SIC to NAICS
reclassified large numbers of workers differently by industry/sector
than NAICS does, notably by reclassifying some from the Manufacturing
sector into Services.
Codes
Range
The
SIC codes can be grouped into progressively broader industry
classifications: industry group, major group, and division. The first 3
digits of the SIC code indicate the industry group, and the first two
digits indicate the major group. Each division encompasses a range of
SIC codes:
| Range of SIC Codes | Division |
|---|---|
| 0100-0999 | Agriculture, Forestry and Fishing |
| 1000-1499 | Mining |
| 1500-1799 | Construction |
| 1800-1999 | not used |
| 2000-3999 | Manufacturing |
| 4000-4999 | Transportation, Communications, Electric, Gas and Sanitary service |
| 5000-5199 | Wholesale Trade |
| 5200-5999 | Retail Trade |
| 6000-6799 | Finance, Insurance and Real Estate |
| 7000-8999 | Services |
| 9100-9729 | Public Administration |
| 9900-9999 | Nonclassifiable |
To look at a particular example of the hierarchy, SIC code 2024 (ice
cream and frozen desserts) belongs to industry group 202 (dairy
products), which is part of major group 20 (food and kindred products),
which belongs to the division of manufacturing.
