Census Bureau, Economic Census |
| Description |
The
Census Bureau conducts several censuses of service industries. Prior to
1997, data from these censuses were combined and available as the Census
of Service Industries. The
Census of Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services covers establishments
with payroll that specialize in performing activities requiring a high
degree of expertise and training. Activities performed include legal advice
and representation; accounting, bookkeeping, and payroll services; architecture,
engineering, and specialized design services; computer services; consulting
services; research services; advertising services; photographic services;
translation and interpretation services; and veterinary services, among
others. The
Census of Health Care and Social Assistance consists of establishments
providing services delivered by trained professionals. All industries in
the sector share this commonality of process, namely, labor inputs of health
practitioners or social workers with the requisite expertise. Many of the
industries in the sector are defined based on the educational degree held
by the practitioners included in the industry. The
Census of Educational Services comprises establishments that provide instruction
and training such as schools, colleges, universities, and training centers.
These establishments may be privately owned and operated for profit or
not for profit, or they may be publicly owned and operated. They may also
offer food and accommodation services to their students. The
Census of Arts, Entertainment, and Recreation includes a wide range of
establishments that operate facilities or provide services to meet varied
cultural, entertainment, and recreational interests of their patrons. This
sector comprises establishments involved in producing, promoting, or participating
in live performances, events, or exhibits intended for public viewing;
establishments that preserve and exhibit objects and sites of historical,
cultural, or educational interest; and establishments that operate facilities
or provide services that enable patrons to participate in recreational
activities or pursue amusement, hobby, and leisure-time interests. The
Census of Accommodation and Food Services comprises establish-ments providing
customers with lodging and/or prepared meals, snacks, and beverages for
immediate consumption. The
Census of Administrative and Support and Waste Management and Remediation
Services includes establishments performing routine support activities
for the day-to-day operations of other organizations. The establishments
in this sector specialize in one or more support activities and provide
the services to clients in a variety of industries and, in some cases,
to households. Activities performed include office administration, hiring,
and placing of personnel; document preparation and similar clerical services;
solicitation, collection, security, and surveillance services; and cleaning
and waste disposal. The
Census of Other Services (except public administration) covers establishments
with payroll engaged in providing services not specifically provided for
elsewhere in the North American Ind-ustry Classification System. Establishments
in this sector are primarily engaged in activities such as repair and maintenance
of equipment and machinery, personal and laundry services, and religious,
grant-making, civic, professional, and similar organizations. Establishments
providing death care, pet care, photo finishing, temporary parking, and
dating services are also included. |
| Key
Data |
Basic
data obtained for all of these censuses include kind of business, federal
income tax status, geographic location, taxable operating receipts (revenue
for tax-exempt establishments), annual and first-quarter payroll, and employment.
Some census establishments provide additional data about operational and
organizational status, sources of receipts, business characteristics, and
industry specific measures (such as exports or the number of hotel accommodations).
Other measures for tax-exempt organizations include gifts and endowment
income |

| Description |
Before
1997, the Census of Utilities, Census of Information Industries, and Census
of Transportation and Warehousing consisted of one census known as the
Census of Transportation, Utilities, and Communications. The
Census of Utilities comprises establishments engaged in electric power,
natural gas, steam, or water supply and sewage removal. Within this sector,
the specific activities associated with the utility services provided vary
by utility; thus, electric power includes generation, transmission, and
distribution; natural gas includes distribution; steam supply includes
provision and/or distribution; water supply includes treatment and distribution;
and sewage removal includes collection, treatment, and disposal of waste
through sewer systems and treatment facilities. The
Census of Transportation and Warehousing includes industries providing
transportation of passengers and cargo, warehousing and storage for goods,
scenic and sightseeing transportation, and support activities related to
modes of transportation. Many of the establishments in this sector often
operate on networks, with physical facilities, labor forces, and equipment
spread over an extensive geographic area. Excluded from this sector are
establishments primarily engaged in providing travel-agent services that
support transportation and other establishments, such as hotels, businesses,
and government agencies. The
Census of Information Industries comprises establishments engaged in producing
and distributing information and cultural products, providing the means
to transmit or distribute these products as well as data or communications,
and processing data. The main components of this sector are publishing
(including software publishing), motion picture and sound recording, broadcasting
and telecommunications, and information and data processing services. . |
| Key
Data |
Basic
data for all three of these censuses include kind of business, geographic
location, total operating revenue, annual and first-quarter payroll, and
number of employees. Establishments receiving a long-form question-naire
provide additional data about revenue by source and other industry-specific
measures. Multi-unit firms in certain pipeline, telephone and telegraph
communications, and electric and gas service industries report revenue
and related output measures consolidated to the state level. |
| Time
Span |
Time
span: Every five years (years ending in two and seven), beginning in 1987.
The most recent data are from 1997. In 1987, only selected transportation
industries (standard industry classifications 42, 44, and 47) were covered.
Current data are provided for all establishments classified in standard
industry classification code division E (except the U.S. Postal Service).

Labor and Multifactor Productivity |

Bureau
of Labor Statistics, Department of Labor. |
| Description |
Labor
productivity is a measure that relates output to the labor resources expended
in producing that output. It is a measure of the efficiency with which
labor is being utilized in production. This measure of efficiency reflects
improvements in techniques and organization of production -- technical
change -- and the effects of substituting other inputs such as capital
and intermediate purchases for labor in the production process. |
| Key
Data |
BLS
publishes labor productivity measures for over 500 3- and 4-digit industries
as defined by the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) system. BLS
maintains labor productivity measures for over 200 additional industries.
Thus, there are labor productivity measures for over 700 industries, which
cover over 50 percent of employment in the nonfarm business sector of the
economy. Because of the enormous data requirements for multifactor productivity
measurement, measures have been published by BLS for only 10 3- and 4-digit
industries so far. |
| Time
Span |
These
industry labor productivity measures are updated annually and measures
for additional industries are published as their development is completed. |

rates are then weighted to provide national metropolitan, downtown,,
and suburban rates. Industrial
'availability' rates are also published for about 34 areas.
These data are provided free of charge and disseminated widely so
that they have become the industry standard for vacancy rates. In
addition, CB Commercial provides histories and forecasts of office, industrial,
and apartment market concepts for 50+ major metropolitan market areas
and some submarkets for office and industrial uses twice per year and for
apartments once per year. CB
Commercial’s brokerage surveys are used to compute office and industrial
market statistics. The forecast
is accompanied by about two pages of commentary on the metropolitan economy
and some local submarket detail on buildings currently under construction. The
commentary largely compares a given economy’s rank to the 50 other economies.
An econometric model is used to forecast absorption, rents, new
construction, and vacancy rates.
The rent numbers are neither the effective rents nor the asking
rents. Quantity of new construction
is modeled rather than accounting directly for projects in the construction

| Description |
The
Society and Landauer Associates, Inc. analyze the results of an annual,
nationwide survey of industrial and office real estate market activity
in more than 125 industrial and office markets across the United States,
Canada, Mexico, and abroad to create this document. Comparative Statistics
also includes a comprehensive prior year Review and the current Forecast
of economic trends and their affect on commercial real estate. Once
a year, SIOR surveys its members in a written questionnaire about the condition
of the local office or industrial market represented by each member.
Concepts include inventory, construction, vacancy, absorption sales
prices, net lease rents, site rents, and others.
The surveys are then computerized and presented in a written volume
accompanied by a short written commentary by Landauer Associates.
The editors compare statistics from year to ye,, to ensure some
consistency, but because survey respondents vary in quality and sometimes
change from one year to the next, consistency and market definitions vary.
Nevertheless, because of the breadth of the market survey-hundreds
of markets are included throughout the United States and the world-this
is the least costly ready source of data for dozens of small markets. Market
definitions may vary from market to market and reporter to reporter, and
reports are not always complete.
Many of the market indicators, including the forecast of prices,
rents, absorption, and construction, are estimates expressed as percentage
changes from the current year instead of as hard numbers.
Market boundaries are not always explicit, and sometimes a single
market or part of a market may be covered in more than one report.
Parts of Los Angeles, for example, are covered in a half dozen reports,
and adding these together invites duplications and errors. |

| Description |
ULI
produces an annual compendium of market studies by major metropolitan area
in the United States and some international markets.
The compendium covers four property types (office, retail, residential,
and industrial). Hotel coverage is optional and frequently omitted.
ULI applies rigorous quality control by carefully selecting authors.
Other analysts in the same market review chapters for accuracy
and to ensure data consistency from year to year.
Emphasis is on a thorough review of the past year. Relatively
few markets are reviewed, and some markets are reviewed only every other
year. Other large markets
receive only a shorter and more cursory review.
Inclusion may be based mostly on the availability of an author rather
than on the size or importance of a market. |

| Description |
The
federal government assembles construction permit data by property
type for counties, MSAS, states, and the nation.
The data are published monthly in the Bureau of the Census's C-4O
Report. Global Insight also reports permits by MSA and county but divides
permits into two categories: residential (thousands of housing units)
and a single category called "commercial." These data have two
problems. Not all permitted
projects are built. Therefore,
the permits may overstate new construction.
Furthermore, not all places issue permits.
Therefore, the permits may understate total construction.
The dollar value of construction put in place is also compiled
and is useful for noting the general level of construction activity but
is not helpful in property-specific analysis. MSA
short-term tables and forecasts.
Global Insight uses the federal government permit database to assemble
starts; sales; prices; mortgage originations; housing stock; nonresidential
permit value (total, hospitals, industrial, miscellaneous, other commercial,
and offices); and nonresidential construction put in place (total,
hospitals, industrial, miscellaneous, other commercial, and offices).
Global Insight’s starts data are converted from permit data by formula. |

can be purchased on an annual subscription basis or on an as-needed basis.
The data include all projects bid competitively.
Therefore, they may understate the quantity of new construction
by not including projects built absent competitive bids. The
F.W. Dodge numbers do not substitute for specific market intelligence
on new speculative projects planned, proposed, or approved.
The REAPS series, published by F.W. Dodge, does list new projects
but only for the 55 metropolitan areas included in the REAPS system. |
