Implementation of Standard Industrial Classification 2007: December 2009 update

ONS initially publicised its plans for the implementation of SIC 2007 in Hughes (2008), and this was followed up with an article covering a wider Government Statistical Service angle (Brook and Hughes 2009). This article describes the methodological aspects of the move to SIC 2007; lays out the implications forNational Accounts; and gives an update on the timetable for implementation across the Labour Market Statistics outputs, some of the details of which have changed since the previous publication.
