CES Series for Professional and Business Services Under NAICS

The table below shows the NAICS series that CES publishes for the Professional and business services supersector. The series published codes are for the not seasonally adjusted series. Publication of CES series under NAICS began with the release of May 2003 data on June 6, 2003. After the switch to NAICS, CES no longer produces or publishes SIC-based data; however, the SIC database will be available indefinitely with data through April 2003 only. The start dates for the All Employees series are listed below; the other datatypes have varying start dates but all series have history back to at least 1990.
