Introduction

PURPOSE AND USES OF THE ECONOMIC CENSUS

The economic census is the major source of facts about the structure and functioning of theeconomy. It provides essential information for government, business, industry, and the generalpublic. Title 13 of the United States Code (Sections 131, 191, and 224) directs the Census Bureauto take the economic census every 5 years, covering years ending in 2 and 7.

The economic census furnishes an important part of the framework for such composite measuresas the local gross product, input/output measures, and other statistical series that measure short-term changes in economic conditions. Specific uses of economic census data include the follow-ing:

Policymaking agencies of the federal government use the data to monitor economic activity andto provide assistance to business.

Local governments use the data to assess business activities and tax bases within their jurisdic-tions and to develop programs to attract business.

Trade associations study trends in their own and competing industries, which allows them tokeep their members informed of market changes.

Individual businesses use the data to locate potential markets and to analyze their own produc-tion and sales performance relative to industry or area averages.

SCOPE

Data from the 2002 Economic Census of Island Areas are published for the first time on the basisof the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS). NAICS replaces the Standard Indus-trial Classification (SIC) System used in 1997 and earlier censuses. The 2002 Island Areas publica-tions cover the following NAICS sectors:

21 Mining

The mining sector comprises establishments that extract naturally occurring mineral solids, suchas coal and ores; liquid minerals, such as crude petroleum; and gases, such as natural gas. Themost common type of mining activity in the island areas comprises stone quarrying. The miningsector distinguishes two basic activities: mine operation and mining support activities. Establish-ments are grouped and classified according to the natural resource mined or to be mined. Indus-tries include establishments that develop the mine site, extract the natural resources, and/orthose that beneficiate (i.e., prepare) the mineral mined.

22 Utilities

The utilities sector comprises establishments engaged in the provision of the following utility ser-vices: electric power, natural gas, steam supply, water supply, and sewage removal. Activitiesassociated with the utility services provided vary by utility: electric power includes generation,transmission, and distribution; natural gas includes distribution; steam supply includes provisionand/or distribution; water supply includes treatment and distribution; and sewage removalincludes collection, treatment, and disposal of waste through sewer systems and sewage treat-ment facilities.

Establishments primarily engaged in activities to produce a specificcomponent (e.g., masonry, painting, and electrical work) of a construction project are commonlyknown as specialty trade contractors.

There are substantial differences in the types of equipment, work force skills, and other inputsrequired by establishments in this sector. To highlight these differences and variations in theunderlying production functions, this sector is divided into three subsectors: Construction ofBuildings (Subsector 236), Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction (Subsector 237), and Spe-cialty Trade Contractors (Subsector 238).

COMPARABILITY OF THE 1997 AND 2002 CENSUSES

The 2002 Economic Census of Island Areas is the first to present data based on the new NorthAmerican Industry Classification System (NAICS). Previous census data were presented accordingto the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) System developed in the 1930s. Due to this change,comparability between census years is limited. NAICS identifies new industries, redefines con-cepts, and develops classifications to reflect changes in the economy.

xii Introduction 2002 Economic Census of Island Areas


The 2002 Economic Census covers more of the economy than any previous census. New for 2002are data on information, finance and insurance, real estate, and health-care industries. The scopeof the census includes virtually all sectors of the economy.

Additional information about NAICS is available from the Census Bureau Internet site(www.census.gov/naics).

RELIABILITY OF DATA

All data compiled in this report originated from a complete enumeration and, therefore, are notsubject to sampling variability. However, the data are subject to nonsampling errors. Nonsamplingerrors can be attributed to many sources including: inability to identify all cases in the actual uni-verse; inability or unwillingness on the part of respondents to provide correct information; defini-tion and classification difficulties; response errors and bias; errors in collection or processing; mis-interpretation of questions; and other errors of recording, keying, and estimation for missing ormisreported data.

No direct measurement of these effects has been obtained. Precautionary steps were taken in allphases of the collection, processing, and tabulation of the data in an effort to minimize the effectsof nonsampling errors. More information on the reliability of the data is included in Appendix C,Methodology.

DISCLOSURE

In accordance with federal law governing census reports (Title 13 of the United States Code), nodata are published that would disclose the operations of an individual establishment or business.However, the number of establishments in a kind-of-business classification is not considered a dis-closure; therefore, this information may be released even though other information is withheld.Techniques employed to limit disclosure are discussed atwww.census.gov/epcd/ec02/disclosure.htm.

PROPSITO Y USO DEL CENSO ECONMICO

El censo econmico es la fuente principal de datos acerca de la estructura y funcin de laeconoma. El censo provee informacin esencial para el gobierno, el comercio, la industria y elpblico en general. El censo econmico es requerido por el ttulo 13 del Cdigo de los EstadosUnidos (Secciones 131, 191 y 224) y por la Ley No. 11 de la legislatura del Estado Libre Asociadode Puerto Rico, que fuera aprobada el 27 de marzo de 1950. El ttulo 13 requiere que elNegociado del Censo realice el censo econmico cada 5 aos, cubriendo los aos que terminan en2 y 7.

El censo econmico proporciona una parte importante del sistema mediante el cual se preparanestimados compuestos, tales como el producto bruto, el insumo producto y otras estadsticas quedeterminan los cambios en la economa a corto plazo. Los datos del censo econmico se utilizande la siguiente manera:

Las agencias del gobierno federal que se dedican a la creacin de poltica pblica utilizan losdatos para observar las actividades econmicas y proveer asistencia a los negocios.

Los gobiernos locales utilizan los datos para evaluar las actividades comerciales e impuestosdentro de su jurisdiccin y para desarrollar programas que atraigan negocios.

Las asociaciones comerciales estudian tendencias en sus propias industrias y en lacompetencia, lo cual les permite mantener a sus miembros informados sobre cambios en elmercado.

Los negocios utilizan los datos para determinar mercados potenciales y analizar su propiaproduccin y ventas en comparacin a los promedios del rea geogrfica o la industria.

COMPARABILIDAD ENTRE LOS CENSOS DE 1997 Y DEL 2002

El Censo Econmico del 2002 de las reas Insulares es el primero en presentar datos censales enbase al nuevo Sistema de Clasificacin Norteamericano de la Industria (NAICS). Los datos censalesanteriores fueron presentados de acuerdo al Sistema de Clasificacin Industrial Uniforme (CIU),desarrollado en 1930. Debido al cambio en el sistema de clasificacin, la comparacin entre losaos censales es limitada. El sistema de NAICS identifica nuevas industrias, redefine conceptos ydesarrolla clasificaciones para reflejar los cambios en la economa.

El Censo Econmico del 2002 cubre ms sectores de la economa que ningn otro censo. Entre lossectores nuevos que se han incluido para el 2002, se encuentran datos sobre los sectores deinformacin, finanzas y seguro, bienes races e industrias de cuidado para la salud.

CONFIABILIDAD DE LOS DATOS

Los datos recopilados en este informe se obtuvieron mediante una enumeracin completa, por lotanto, no estn sujetos a la variabilidad del muestreo. No osbtante, los datos estn sujetos aerrores ajenos al muestreo. Los errores ajenos al muestreo pueden ocurrir por muchas razones:incapacidad para identificar todos los casos en el universo, incapacidad o renuencia de parte delos respondedores para proveer la informacin correcta, dificultades con las definiciones yclasificaciones, errores y sesgos en las respuestas, errores en la recopilacin o procesamiento delos datos, mala interpretacin de las preguntas y otros errores en el registro y digitacin de losdatos y estimados que se utilizan para los rcords sin respuestas o respuestas incorrectas.

Hasta el momento, no ha sido posible medir con exactitud los efectos que causan estos errores.Sin embargo, se han tomado medidas de precaucin necesarias durante las fases de recopilacin,procesamiento y tabulacin de los datos para minimizar los efectos de los errores ajenos almuestreo. Refirase al Apndice C, Metodologa, para ms informacin sobre la confiabilidad delos datos.

DIVULGACIN

De acuerdo con la ley federal que rige los informes censales (ttulo 13 del Cdigo de los EstadosUnidos), los datos que se publican no divulgan las operaciones de un establecimiento o negocioen particular. Sin embargo, el nmero de establecimientos clasificados bajo un tipo de negocio noconstituye una divulgacin, por lo tanto, esta informacin puede ser publicada aunque otrainformacin sea suprimida. Las tcnicas empleadas para limitar la divulgacin son discutidas enwww.census.gov/epcd/ec02/disclosure.htm.
