The 1992 definition of this industry is the same as that used in the 1987 Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) system. The SIC number and title also are the same. In the 1992 Census of Manufactures, Industry 3581, Automatic Vending Machines, had employment of 7.2 thousand. The employment figure was 9 percent below the 7.9 thousand reported in 1987. Compared with 1991, employment increased 4 percent. The 1991 data are based on the Census Bureau's annual survey of manufactures (ASM), which is a sample survey conducted each year between censuses. The leading States in employment in 1992 were California, Missouri, South Carolina, and Texas, accounting for approximately 50 percent of the industry's employment. This represents a shift from 1987 when Missouri, West Virginia, California, and Pennsylvania were the leading States. The total value of shipments for establishments classified in this industry was $815.7 million. Establishments in virtually all industries ship secondary products as well as products primary to the industry in which they are classified and have some miscellaneous receipts, such as resales and contract receipts. Industry 3581 shipped $748.6 million of automatic vending machines considered primary to the industry, $17.8 million of secondary products, and had $49.3 million of miscellaneous receipts, resales, and contract work. Thus, the ratio of primary products to the total of both secondary and primary products shipped by establishments in this industry was 98 percent (specialization ratio). In 1987, the specialization ratio was 97 percent. Establishments in this industry also accounted for 99 percent of products considered primary to the industry no matter where they were actually produced (coverage ratio). In 1987, the coverage ratio also was 99 percent. The products primary to industry 3581, no matter in what industry they were produced, appear in file MC92F6A and aggregate to $757.8 million.
