Canadian Business Patterns, June 2010 [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》数据集包含两类统计数据：一是截至2008年12月的经营场所（business locations）数量，二是2009年12月之前的企业单位（business establishments）数量。统计维度涵盖以下三类：1. 9类就业规模区间，包含“无法确定”类别，其统计时点为1997年12月；2. 地理分组：省/地区、普查分区（census division）、普查细分区（2008年12月之前适用）、普查都会区及普查集聚都市区；3. 基于1998年12月版北美行业分类体系（North American Industry Classification System，NAICS）的行业分类，对应统计表格的层级为2、3、4、6位数代码。2004年12月之前，该数据集也曾采用标准工业分类体系（Standard Industrial Classification）进行行业分类，对应表格的统计层级为1、2、3、4位数代码。本数据集发布的统计数据均取自企业登记中央框架数据库（Business Register Central Frame Data Base），反映的是特定参考时点的当期经营场所或企业单位数量。由于统计方法变更可能破坏数据连续性，例如标准地理分类体系（Standard Geographical Classification，SGC）或北美行业分类体系版本升级、新增努纳武特（Nunavut）地区的统计口径、优化识别非活跃经营主体的规则等，因此本数据集不适合作为时间序列数据使用。
