Division N - Government Service Industries:
The entire Government Service Industries Division is a difficult
area to code. Census respondents tend to give the response "government" for any number of
administrative government or government-related activities. The classification calls for most
government-related activities to be coded to divisions other than Government Service Industries Division. For example,
road maintenance services or postal services are not coded to Government Services Division.
For these industries and others of similar type, detailed descriptions are required for accurate
coding. Detailed descriptions are often not given on Census questionnaires.
Users should be cautious when dealing with estimates of Government Service Industries Division taken from
the Census.
