In reply to Ed Christopher's question about the NAICS changes-
Here in Denver, we are looking forward to these changes. The old SIC codes are no longer
reflecting the character of the economy, at least in our setting. With the service sector
becoming such a dominant part of the economy, the new system will break services into
several major groups.
We are hopeful that this will be useful for transportation modeling as well. the new
system will provide n opportunity to group industires together that have similar travel
patterns. Again, changes in the way business functions are making the SIC groupings less
releevant to transportation modeling.
Hope that encourages you to review the changes.

Chuck thanks for the heads-up. Anyone on the list
care to comment on
this NAICS thing? Is it a good thing? Working in an agency that gets its
employment data given to it by another agency I really do not have a good
read on this. I am sure there are others equally unaware of what NAICS
means to them.

The Census 2000 will be using 2 new classification systems. NAICS or
North American Industry Classification System will be used for
classifying employment by industry. SOC or Standard Occupational
Classification will be used to classify occupations.
I encourage you to become familiar with the SOC revisions and to
submit comments. Thanks.
