The 1992 Census of Construction Industries covers all employer establishments (establishments with payroll) primarily engaged in contract construction or construction on their own account for sale as defined in the Standard Industrial Classification Manual: 1987 (SIC). This industrial classification system has been developed by experts on classification in government and private industry under the guidance of the Office of Management and Budget and is in general use among government agencies and among organizations outside the government.

Provides statistics for States grouped according to the nine census geographic divisions. Much of the geographic area series data are the same as presented in the industry series, except here they are organized by State rather than by industry. Selected data are given for establishments classified by their employment size and dollar value of business done. Data for establishments with no payroll are shown on a limited basis. Selected data are shown for CMSA's, PMSA's, and selected MSA's within each State.

The U.S. summary report contains summary data for establishments with or without payroll, as presented in the nine individual geographic division reports.
