Description of Industries and Summary of Findings INDUSTRY 3942, DOLLS AND STUFFED TOYS This industry is made up of establishments primarily engaged in manufacturing dolls, doll parts, and doll clothing, except doll wigs. Establishments primarily engaged in manufacturing stuffed toys are classified in this industry. Doll wigs are classified in industry 3999. 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 3942, Dolls and Stuffed Toys, had employment of 3.6 thousand. The employment figure was 18 percent below the 4.4 thousand reported in 1987. Compared with 1991, employment decreased 28 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 New York, New Hampshire, California, and Illinois. This represents a shift from 1987 when California, New Hampshire, New Jersey, and New York were the leading States. The total value of shipments for establishments classified in this industry was $251.0 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 3942 shipped $232.7 million of dolls and stuffed toys, considered primary to the industry, $5.7 million of secondary products, and had $12.6 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 also was 99 percent. Establishments in this industry also accounted for 80 percent of products considered primary to the industry no matter where they were actually produced (coverage ratio). In 1987, the coverage ratio was 79 percent. The products primary to industry 3942, no matter in what industry they were produced, appear in file MC92F6A and aggregate to $290.5 million. For further explanation of specialization and coverage ratios, see file MC92F5B and the appendixes.
