Straight answers about NBER / U.S. Census CES data
What exactly is the NBER-CES Manufacturing Industry Database?
A joint NBER-U.S. Census research panel recording annual US manufacturing data from 1958 through 2018: output, employment, payroll, input costs, investment, capital stocks and total factor productivity, one row per industry-year with twenty-four named columns per record.
How many industries and years does the panel cover?
The current edition spans 364 six-digit 2012 NAICS industries across 61 years - 22,204 rows. Two earlier concorded versions carry 473 six-digit 1997 NAICS industries and 459 four-digit 1987 SIC industries, with a crosswalk linking the NAICS editions.
Does it include machinery manufacturing specifically?
Every six-digit machinery line from NAICS 3331 through 3339 has its own full-length series: machine shops, metalworking machinery, engines, material handling and agricultural equipment, each tracked from 1958 through 2018 on identical fields.
Why does the series stop at 2018?
The 2021a release pins the panel at 2018, and later source microdata changes have kept newer vintages pending. For post-2018 questions Datadory pairs this historical spine with current-vintage sources so your analysis stays continuous without pretending the window is longer than it is.
