Economic Brief

Industry Selection

Use this resource to select an industry and learn about the products and services it provides:

NAICS (North American Industry Classification System)

Select the number next to the industry to see its subsectors, e.g., select 52 to see Finance and Insurance.
Select that same number again to read about the industry as a whole or select a sub-category. For example, Mining is 21, and Oil and Gas Extraction, a sub-category, is 211.
