bush_cheney2004 Posted August 13, 2009 Report Posted August 13, 2009 (edited) Can anyone explain this? What's to explain? SICs (Standard Industrial Classification) codes have been a US registration index for many years, and is migrating to a North American standard. Canada also uses many other American "standards" and references. https://legacy.itss.gsa.gov/it-sol/helpdocs...33;OpenDocument http://www.census.gov/eos/www/naics/ Edited August 13, 2009 by bush_cheney2004 Quote Economics trumps Virtue.
