Which of the following statements regarding the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) is most accurate?
After being used more than 50 years, the NAICS was replaced by the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC system).
The NAICS permits comparability across countries but does not accurately measure new or emerging industries.
One drawback to NAICS is that its industry classifications are inconsistent with the International Standards Organization.
The NAICS groups economic activity to permit studies of market share, demand for goods and services, import competition in domestic markets, and similar studies.
The NAICS is a five-digit code that allows comparison of industries even when information is limited.
