Title Standard Industrial Classification Manual 1987 Agency Executive Office of the President. Office of Management and Budget. Publ. Info. 1987 SuDocs No. PREX 2.6/2:IN 27/987 Item 0854-A Notes The SIC Manual is essential to classifying types of businesses. Use it to do research on business by type of business. For example, restaurants are classified as "5812". Many reference manuals and statistical sources reference these classification numbers. From 1997 onward, a different classification system is used. It is called the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS). As more statistics become available under the NAICS classification, the SIC classification will be only used for historical research. http://www.osha.gov/oshstats/sicser.html Biblio. Info.
