Canadian Business Patterns, June 1998 [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）数据集包含两类统计数据：一是截至2008年12月的商业场所数量，二是2009年12月之前的商业机构数量，其分类维度如下：9个就业规模区间（含1997年12月统计的“不确定”类别）；地理分组：省/领地、普查分区（Census Division）、普查细分区域（Census Subdivision，2008年12月之前适用）、普查都市区（Census Metropolitan Area）及普查集聚区域（Census Agglomeration）；以及采用1998年12月版北美行业分类系统（North American Industry Classification System, NAICS，2、3、4、6位码层级表格）划分的行业类别。2004年12月之前，此类数据还曾采用标准行业分类（Standard Industrial Classification，1、2、3、4位码层级表格）进行呈现。 《加拿大商业格局》发布的数据取自商业登记中央框架数据库（Business Register Central Frame Data Base），反映特定参考期内的当前场所或机构数量。由于可能因方法变更影响数据连续性，该数据集不适用于时间序列分析，此类方法变更示例包括：切换至新版标准地理分类（Standard Geographical Classification, SGC）或北美行业分类系统、新增努纳武特（Nunavut）领地，以及优化非活跃单位识别规则的新规定。
