1. North American Industry Classification System (NACIS). The NACIS was developed in cooperation with Canada and Mexico, the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) for statistical programs focusing on emerging economic activities. NAICS uses a six-digit hierarchical coding system to classify all economic activity into twenty industry sectors. Five sectors are mainly goods-producing sectors and fifteen are entirely services-providing sectors. This six-digit hierarchical structure allows greater coding flexibility than the four-digit structure of the SIC. Additional Information
