This table contains data from the December release of Canadian Business Counts for 2007 until the latest complete year. The data includes the year, 2-digit North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code, and a count of the number of businesses by number of employees. The table data shows the number of businesses categorized by the number of employees they have. Please ensure you read the notes provided below, as there is very important information on classification and comparability. NotesStatistics Canada advises users not to use these data as a time series. Further, the counts may reflect some of the business openings and closures caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, although they will not be fully represented as the evolving resumption or permanent closure of businesses may not yet be fully processed and confirmed by Statistics Canada's Business Register (The Daily — Canadian business counts, December 2021 (statcan.gc.ca)).Changes in methodology or in business industrial classification strategies used by Statistics Canada's Business Register can create increases or decreases in the number of active businesses reported in the data on Canadian business patterns. As a result, these data do not represent changes in the business population over time. Statistics Canada recommends users not to use these data as a time series. Beginning in December 2014, there were several important changes that were made:

The data appear in two separate series, one covering locations with employees, the other covering locations without employees. The second series corresponds to locations previously coded to the employment category called "indeterminate." A new North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) category has been added to include locations that have not yet received a NAICS code: unclassified. It represents an additional 78,718 locations with employees and 313,107 locations without employees. The second series, locations without employees, also includes locations that were not previously included in tables but that meet the criteria used to define the Business Register coverage. The impact of the change will be the inclusion of approximately 600,000 additional locations.

Before 2014, the following notes apply:

The establishments in the "Indeterminate" category do not maintain an employee payroll, but may have a workforce which consists of contracted workers, family members or business owners. However, the Business Register does not have this information available, and has therefore assigned the establishments to an "Indeterminate" category. This category also includes employers who did not have employees in the last 12 months. Please note that the employment size ranges are based on data derived from payroll remittances. As such, it should be viewed solely as a business stratification variable. Its primary purpose is to improve the efficiency of samples selected to conduct statistical surveys. It should not be used in any manner to compile industry employment estimates. Employment, grouped in employment size ranges, is more often than not an estimation of the annual maximum number of employees. For example, a measure of "10 employees" could represent "10 full-time employees", "20 part-time employees" or any other combination.For more information refer to Statistics Canada's Definitions and Concepts used in Business Register.

This listing also includes home-based businesses that participated in the 2022 employment survey. What is a NAIC code? The North American Industrial Classification (NAIC) coding system is a hierarchical classification system developed in Canada, Mexico and the United States. It was developed to allow for the comparison of business and employment information across a variety of industry categories. The NAICS has a hierarchical structure, designed as follows: Two-digits = sector (e.g., 31-33 contain the Manufacturing sectors) Three-digits = subsector (e.g., 336 = Transportation Equipment Manufacturing) Four-digits = industry group (e.g., 3361 = Motor Vehicle Manufacturing) Five-digits = industry (e.g., 33611 = Automobile and Light Duty Motor Vehicle Manufacturing) For more information on the NAIC coding system click here How do I add or update my business information in the York Region Business Directory?

This table contains figures on business confidence. Business confidence is a mood indicator that indicates the direction in which the economy (the gross domestic product, GDP) is expected to develop. When assessing the outcomes, it can be assumed that the more optimistic or pessimistic the entrepreneurs are, the more the value of business confidence will deviate positively or negatively from the zero line and the greater the expectation is that the development of the GDP in the coming months will increase or decrease. Business confidence in a province is a weighted average of the confidence indicators of the underlying industries / sectors that together form a representative reflection of the total Dutch business community. Data available from: 1st Quarter 2014 - 2nd quarter 2023. Changes as of July 27, 2023: This table has been discontinued.

Business confidence is a sentiment indicator for the Dutch private sector, which indicates the direction in which the Dutch economy (gross domestic product, GDP) is expected to develop. When assessing the results, it can be assumed that the more optimistic or pessimistic the entrepreneurs are, the more the value of business confidence will deviate positively or negatively from the zero line and the greater the expectation is that the development of GDP will increase or decrease in the coming months. Business confidence in the total Dutch private sector is a weighted average of the confidence indicators of the underlying sectors/industries, which together form a representative reflection of the Dutch business community from a economic vieuwpoint. In addition to the quarterly series of business confidence, confidence indicators are also available on a monthly basis for the manufacturing industry and some underlying industries. These are published in a separate table under the name Producer confidence; sentiment indicator of manufacturing industry, branches.

This dataset provides a curated and labeled subset of employer entries derived from Wikidata, with the goal of improving the quality and usability of employer data. While Wikidata is an invaluable open resource, direct use often necessitates cleaning. This dataset addresses that need by offering metadata, statistics, and labels to help users identify and utilise valid employer information. An employer is generally defined here as a company or entity that provides employment paying wages or a salary. The dataset specifically screens out entries that do not represent true employers, such as individuals or plurals. It is particularly useful for tasks involving data cleaning, entity recognition, and understanding employment nomenclature.

Columns

• item_id: The unique Wikidata item identifier (QCode without the 'Q' prefix).
• employer_count: The number of Wikidata entries associated with this specific employer reference.
• employer: The text label of the employer's name, sourced from Kensho's English labels.
• description: The accompanying description of the Wikidata employer entry, also from Kensho.
• in_google_news: A binary indicator (0 for no, 1 for yes) showing if the occupation exists within the GoogleNews embedding.
• language_detected: A three-digit language code, identified using FastText language detection.
• source: Indicates the origin of the information, such as Wikidata or Wikipedia.
• label: A binary label (0 for invalid employer, 1 for valid employer) indicating the data's quality.
• labeled_by: Specifies the method used for labeling, including human, classifier_gnew, classifier_bert, or cleanlab.
• label_error_reason: Provides the specific reason if a label is deemed an error, such as 'domain' or 'plural'.

Abstract

The survey of unregistered businesses was conducted in Somalia, between October and December 2019, simultaneously with the Somolia Enterprise Survey 2019. The survey covers two cities: Bosaso and Mogadishu. The fieldwork was implemented by Altai Consulting in collaboration with Tusmo Research and Consulting.

The primary objectives of the survey was to: i) to understand the business demographics of the sector in the two cities, and ii) to describe the environment within which these businesses operate.

A secondary objective of the survey is to provide an estimate of the number of informal businesses operating in these cities.

Geographic coverage

National

Analysis unit

Unit of analysis is informal business.

For the survey in Bosaso and Mogadishu, a business that does not have any of the following two items is considered as informal: i) Registration with the Ministry of Commerce; and ii) Registration with the respective Municipality.

Universe

The universe includes informal businesses, where informality is defined based on whether or not a business is formally registered with the government. The definition of formal registration can vary by country. For the survey in Bosaso and Mogadishu, a business that does not have any of the following two items is considered as informal: i) Registration with the Ministry of Commerce; and ii) Registration with the respective Municipality.

Kind of data

Sample survey data [ssd]

Sampling procedure

The 2019 Somalia ISBS uses an innovative technique to survey informal businesses. The survey follows an area-based sampling methodology with geographic area rather than an establishment or a business unit as a primary sampling unit. To account for potential clustering of informal business, the survey uses an area-based sampling called (stratified) Adaptive Cluster Sampling (ACS), whereby one selects a sample of starting squares and adaptively samples surrounding squares based on the number of informal firms discovered in the enumerated squares. All informal business in selected squares are enumerated using a 2 to 3-minutes questionnaire, referred to in this document as the short-form questionnaire. The short form questionnaire is a listing questionnaire where basic information about the business is collected. A randomly selected subset of the enumerated businesses is given a 20-minutes questionnaire, referred to in this document as the long-form questionnaire. This is the main questionnaire of the survey and the basis of the database posted on the ES portal.

The survey is adaptive in the sense that if the number of informal units in a square exceeds a predefined threshold, all the squares surrounding the starting square are surveyed, following the same approach of enumeration and randomly conducting the main interview. If one of the surrounding squares exceed the threshold, then the squares surrounding that square in turn are also surveyed. This process continues until either the network is exhausted, or an arbitrary cut-off point is defined.

The first step in the sampling approach is the construction of a spatial grid as the Primary Sampling Units (PSU) frame, as shown in Appendix A - 1 for Bosaso, and 2 for Mogadishu respectively. The grid covered the total of municipal areas and each cell had a size of 150 by 150 meters. This produced a total of about 3100 squares between the two cities, excluding squares that are considered inaccessible. The second step was to stratify each grid, with in each city, based on land use type. The grids were categorized into five strata: residential, commercial/industrial, mixed (commercial and residential), Market centres and open area. The stratification was based on local knowledge of the survey implementing contractor with approval from the WBG task team leader. The third step in the sampling process was to select a pre-defined number of starting squares from each stratum for enumeration and main data collection (see Appendix B for the number of starting squares selected for each city).

It is important to note that for Mogadishu, because of security challenges data collection was conducted only in areas considered as safe (as of November 2019) for field team to conduct in person face-to-face interviews. Consequently, data for Mogadishu is representative only for these safe areas (with Bakara market among areas excluded), highlighted in light green in the map in Appendix A-2.

Mode of data collection

Face-to-face [f2f]

Research instrument

The survey data was collected using a standardized questionnaire, i.e., the long-form questionnaire. The questionnaire was developed building on previous modules used by the Enterprise Analysis Unit of the World Bank to survey informal businesses.

Data collected as part of the City of Melbourne's Census of Land Use and Employment (CLUE). The data covers the period 2002-2023. It show business establishments with their business address, industry (ANZSIC4) classification, location and CLUE block and small area allocation.

A business establishment is defined as a • Commercial occupant in a building • Separate land use • Any permanent presence of economic activity in accordance with standard Industry classification (ANZSIC).

Hence, if one organisation has its presence in several buildings in the CLUE area, each time it will be counted as a separate establishment. Consequently, the count of establishments presented in CLUE represents the number of locations, rather than 'enterprises'.

Private Non-Retail Shipping in the United States. The Private Non-Retail Shipping layer contains motor carrier freight terminals for some of largest trucking companies in the U.S. (as measured by revenue reported by the Bureau of Transportation Statistics). Entities from the following companies are included> United Parcel Service (UPS) > Yellow Freight System > Schneider > Roadway Express > FedEx > Con-Way Transportation > ABF Freight System > DHL > Corporate headquarters and other locations that do not actually handle freight are not included. No data could be obtained for Consolidated Freightways, Ryder Integrated Logistics, RPS and J.B. Hunt Transport Services. Facilities associated with these companies are not included in this dataset even though these companies have more annual revenue that some of the companies that are represented in this dataset. Many smaller, but still significant, companies have been excluded due to resource constraints. Examples include United Van Lines, Overnite Transportation, and American Freightways. Rail, air, sea, pipeline and inter-modal terminals are not included unless they are operated by one of the companies represented in this dataset. Facilities associated with the United States Postal Service (USPS) are not included. This dataset does not include retail shipping stores, drop boxes, and transportation operations that are not operated for hire. No entities located in American Samoa, The Northern Mariana Islands or the Virgin Islands are included in this dataset. The companies represented in this dataset are involved in the parcel delivery / courier service business or the freight service provider business. Parcel delivery / courier services deliver parcels, packages and other small shipments that typically weight less than 100 pounds according to the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. A freight service provider can include motor carriers, for-hire carriers and freight forwarders. According to the United Shippers Corporation, a motor carrier is defined as a company that provides truck transportation. A for-hire carrier is defined as a company that provides truck transportation of cargo belonging to others and is paid for doing so. A freight forwarder is defined as a company that arranges for truck transportation of cargo belonging to others, utilizing for-hire carriers to provide the actual truck transportation. The forwarder does assume the responsibility for the cargo from origin to destination and usually does take possession of the cargo at some point during the transportation. Forwarders typically assemble and consolidate less-than-truckload shipments into truckload shipments at origin and disassemble and deliver less-than-truckload shipments at destination. The intention of TGS is to include only those entities that meet the above definition. TGS was not able to contact all of the entities in this layer to verify that they met this definition, therefore some entities may be included in this layer that do not meet the definition. Text fields in this dataset have been set to all upper case to facilitate consistent database engine search results. All diacritics (e.g. the German umlaut or the Spanish tilde) have been replaced with their closest equivalent English character to facilitate use with database systems that may not support diacritics. The currentness of this dataset is indicated by the [CONTDATE] attribute. Based upon this attribute the oldest record dates from 09/08/2006 and the newest record dates from 10/03/2006.
