1992 CENSUS OF CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRIES GEOGRAPHIC AREA SERIES Abstract for the Geographic Area Report Series =>CITATION Census of Construction Industries on CD-ROM, 1992: Industry and Area Series [machine-readable data file] / prepared by the Bureau of the Census. Washington: The Bureau [producer and distributor], 1994. =>TYPE OF FILE Summary statistics =>UNIVERSE DESCRIPTION The universe of most of the files is construction establishments with payroll. (File CC92A7 also shows establishments with no payroll, i.e., nonemployers.) The census covers establishments primarily engaged in contract construction or construction on their own account for sale. =>SUBJECT-MATTER DESCRIPTION This series of seven files provides the: number of establishments (with and without payroll) number of employees payroll value of construction work done assets, capital expenditures, and depreciation value of inventories value of construction work by type of construction industry ratios and other statistics for establishments primarily engaged in the construction industries, classified in various tables by state according to SIC, and, to a lesser extent, type of construction. The files show time series data, including 1992 and 1987; and, in some instances, includes 1982 and 1977. The survey included all medium size and large employers and a sample of smaller ones. Selected key statistics are published together with their relative standard error, expressed as a percentage. See the discussion of "Reliability of employer statistics" in Methodology, file CC92.MTH. These data are exactly the same as shown in the printed Geographic Area and Summary Series reports. A key to table numbers appears under the "Related Printed Reports" heading. In addition, each record layout indicates which printed tables correspond to that file. Related Geographic Area and Summary Printed Reports Table 1.

There is also some data presented for MSAs with 500,000 or more inhabitants in 1990 and for all CMSAs and PMSAs. The census of construction industries does not produce any data for counties or cities. =>TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION ->File Structure: dBASE III+ Most files also have dBASE ".NDX" index files and one or more label files that can be linked to them (e.g., with SIC titles, or type of construction). =>SOFTWARE ACCESS EXTRACT This software system, included on the CD-ROM, provides access to every data item discussed in the Technical Description section of this abstract. GO92 This software system, also included on the CD-ROM, provides a more "user-friendly" access to selected statistics from the economic censuses.
