Estimates for management of companies and enterprises (NAICS 55), formerly shown separately, now are included in other nonmanufacturing.
NOTES: The method used to assign industry classifications has changed; industry-specific estimates are not directly comparable with those for years prior to 2004. The calculation of the percent of
companies responding to the survey was based on all companies responding to the survey. It excludes companies for which total R&D expenditure data were imputed. Mathematically, the percentage
was calculated by dividing the number of companies that received a questionnaire (indicated in the previous column) into the number of companies that returned a response or questionnaire regardless of
the data or information supplied in the response or on the questionnaire. Companies that were missing or had an incomplete North American Classification System (NAICS) code at the time of sampling
were assigned to an "unclassified" industry category temporarily. If an unclassified company reported R&D expenditures, its primary industrial activity was investigated and a NAICS code was assigned
during statistical processing. The total "number of companies receiving a questionnaire" may be smaller than the number of "companies selected for the sample" in table A-1 because some companies
selected for the survey went out of business or were merged with other companies between sample selection and survey mail-out; that is, the sample was updated before actual mail-out took place. For
definitions and more information about year-to-year comparability of the statistics, see technical notes and survey methodology.
