The 2002 North American Industry Classification System (NAICS), a classification system used for organizing economic data, is a revision to the classification systems currently used by Canada, Mexico and the United States. NAICS is revised as part of a five-year revision cycle in order to ensure that the classification continues to reflect the rapidly changing structure of our economies. In this revision, the Construction sector has been harmonized across the three countries, which was not the case in NAICS 1997, and the Information and Cultural Industries sector has been updated to take into account new industries arising from the emergence of the Internet. NAICS 2002 provides a common standard framework for the collection of economic and financial data for all three countries. NAICS 2002 groups economic activity into 20 sectors and 928 Canadian industries. This classification supersedes NAICS 1997.
