With that work provisionally complete, this web page provides an overview of and progress report on the NAPCS initiative and presents the final versions of the product lists developed so far for the service industries included in those 12 sectors. Work is underway developing NAPCS products of industries in NAICS sectors not yet covered (Sector 11: Agriculture, Forestry, Fishing and Hunting, Sector 21: Mining, Sector 22: Utilities, Sector 23: Construction, Sector 31-33: Manufacturing, Sector 42: Wholesale Trade, and Sector 44-45: Retail Trade).
