(3) Motor Vehicle Industry (323) and Motor Vehicle Parts and Accessories Industries (325): These industries are very closely related and respondents do not always give sufficient information to differentiate between the two groups. Coders therefore have some difficulty in coding general responses such as "auto industry". In addition, as can be found in other instances where industries are very similar, some plants are involved in both activities. For these reasons, users may prefer to combine these results for certain types of analysis.
