Canadian Business Patterns, June 1999 [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（Canadian Business Patterns）收录了按以下维度统计的企业场所（截至2008年12月）与企业机构（2009年12月之前）数据：9个就业规模区间（含1997年12月起纳入的“不确定”区间）；地理分区涵盖省/地区、普查分区、普查子分区（2008年12月之前）、普查都市区与普查集聚都市区；行业维度则采用1998年12月版北美行业分类体系（North American Industry Classification System，NAICS），涵盖2、3、4、6位数级统计表格。2004年12月之前，该数据集还曾采用标准行业分类体系（Standard Industrial Classification，SIC）进行统计，对应1、2、3、4位数级统计表格。本数据集发布的加拿大商业格局数据取自企业登记中央框架数据库，反映特定参考周期内的当前企业场所或机构数量。由于方法变更可能影响数据连续性，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更新、新增努纳武特（Nunavut）地区、优化非活跃单位识别规则等，因此本数据集不适合作为时间序列使用。
