Canadian Business Patterns, June 2013 [B2020]

The Canadian Business Patterns contains data that reflects counts of business locations (as of December 2008) and business establishments (prior to December 2009) by: 9 employment size ranges, including \"indeterminate\" (as of December 1997); geography groupings: province/territory, census division, census subdivision (before December 2008), census metropolitan area and census agglomeration; and industry using the North American Industry Classification System (tables at the 2, 3, 4 and 6-digit level) as of December 1998. Before December 2004, these data were also presented using the Standard Industrial Classification (tables at the 1, 2, 3 and 4-digit level). The data published in the Canadian Business Patterns represents the current number of locations or establishments for a specific reference period which is taken from the Business Register Central Frame Data Base. It is not intended for use as a time series because changes that affect the continuity of the data might resu lt from changes in methodology. Some examples are: the change to another version of the Standard Geographical Classification (SGC) or the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS), the addition of the new territory of Nunavut and new rules to better identify inactive units.

《加拿大商业格局》（Canadian Business Patterns）数据集包含反映企业经营场所（截至2008年12月）及商业机构（2009年12月之前）的统计数据，统计维度涵盖三类：一是9类雇佣规模区间（含1997年12月统计的“不确定”类别）；二是地理分组，包括省/地区、普查分区、普查子分区（2008年12月之前适用）、普查大都市区及普查集聚区；三是基于1998年12月采用的北美行业分类系统（North American Industry Classification System, NAICS）划分的行业，统计层级覆盖2、3、4及6位码。2004年12月之前，该数据集还曾采用标准产业分类（Standard Industrial Classification, SIC）进行行业划分，统计层级为1、2、3及4位码。本数据集发布的数据取自企业登记中央框架数据库（Business Register Central Frame Database），用于反映特定参考周期内的经营场所或商业机构当前数量。本数据集并非用于时间序列分析，原因在于方法论层面的变更可能会引发影响数据连续性的问题，此类变更示例包括：标准地理分类（Standard Geographical Classification, SGC）或北美行业分类系统（NAICS）的版本更新、加拿大努纳武特（Nunavut）新地区的增设，以及为更精准识别非活跃经营单位而制定的新规则。
