The
Mining sector of the 1997 Economic Census covers all mining
establishments of companies with one or more paid employees.
Mining is defined as the extraction of naturally occurring
mineral solids, such as coal and ores; liquid minerals, such as
petroleum; and gases, such as natural gas. The term mining is
used in the broad sense to include quarrying, well operations,
beneficiating (e.g., crushing, screening, washing, and
floatation), and other preparations customarily performed at the
mine site or as part of the mining activities (http://www.census.gov/prod/www
/abs/97ecmini.html). The construction reports below includes new
construction work, additions, alterations, and repairs.
Establishments identified as construction management firms are
also included. The construction sector is divided into three
types of activity or subsectors. The subsectors are the
Building, Developing, and General Contracting, Heavy
Construction, and Special Trade Contractors. The area reports
for the construction industries contain state and regional level
data (http://www.census.gov/prod/www /abs/97ecmani.html).
Establishments in the manufacturing sector are often described
as plants, factories, or mills and typically use power-driven
machines and materials-handling equipment. Also included in the
manufacturing sector are some establishments that make products
by hand, like custom tailors and the makers of custom draperies;
some establishments like bakeries and candy stores that make
products on the premises may be included (http://www.census.gov/prod/www
/abs/97ecmani.html) |
