The NBER-CES Manufacturing Industry Database is a joint effort between the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) and U.S. Census Bureau's Center for Economic Studies (CES), containing annual industry-level data from 1958-2018 on output, employment, payroll and other input costs, investment, capital stocks, TFP, and various industry-specific price indexes. Because of changes in industry definitions over the years, the database is provided in three versions: one with 459 four-digit 1987 SIC industries, another with 473 six-digit 1997 NAICS industries, and a third with 364 six-digit 2012 NAICS industries.
