Industry Goods and Services

(In this section you should select an industry and do research on that industry. Describe the industry and the goods and/or services this industry produces. Remember that an industry is a group of companies doing the same thing. For example, Ford is a company. Automobile manufacturing is an industry. Also identify some of the major companies in the industry and the goods or services that the industry produces. Use these instructions for doing research on the industry:
Go to the Census Bureau (NAICS) website and select an industry that has a description. (Some of the smaller industries are named, but not described.) https://www.census.gov/cgi-bin/sssd/naics/naicsrch?chart=2017 The industry could be broad (such as industry 11 Agriculture, Forestry, Fishing and Hunting). Or it could be narrow (such as industry 112112 Cattle Feedlots). The more digits in the industry label, the narrower the industry.
