| Sumario: | The Office of Management and Budget announced in 1997 that it would adopt a new standardized system for classifying industries—the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS). NAICS will take over from the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC), marking one of the greatest changes for government statistical programs since the 1930s.

NAICS also aims to standardize the classification systems of the three NAFTA partners. |
