Details on the conversion to the 2022 North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) from 2017 NAICS

With the release of January 2023 data on March 13, 2023, the CES survey updated the basis for industry classification to the 2022 North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) from the 2017 NAICS basis.

More information on the 2022 NAICS redefinitions:

Implementation of NAICS 2022 resulted in revisions reflecting content and coding changes within the retail trade, information, and financial services sectors for CES state and area estimates. Total nonfarm employment is not affected in any state or metropolitan area due to the NAICS revision. Some of the changes associated with the NAICS 2022 update affected levels of detail not published by CES at the state and metropolitan area level; therefore, only cases where CES industries are affected are discussed in detail here.

The conversion from NAICS 2017 to NAICS 2022 affected CES industry codes in several ways. Some CES series were converted as a whole from their NAICS 2017 industry code to their new NAICS 2022 industry code. For example, NAICS 2022 series code 50517311 (Wired Telecommunications Carriers) was derived wholly from NAICS 2017 code 50517111 (Wired Telecommunications Carriers). For other NAICS 2017 industry codes, employment was partially distributed to multiple new NAICS 2022 industry codes. For instance, NAICS 2017 series code 42454100 was split into multiple series codes for NAICS 2022. The effect of the reclassification from NAICS 2017 to NAICS 2022 for CES state and area estimates is detailed in table 1.

Due to the implementation of NAICS 2022, several hours and earnings series were modified or added for publication. Modified series previously existed in CES publications but were updated with a slightly new mix of 6-digit NAICS industries. Histories were created back to 2011 for each affected hours and earnings series.
