What advantages does the NAICS system have over the older SIC system of classification?

What will be an ideal response?


The NAICS system replaces the older standard industrial classification (SIC) codes developed in 1987 for a similar
purpose. The newer NAICS system permits more specific categories (NAICS codes can contain six digits, whereas
SIC codes only contain four), it recognizes more service categories, and it facilitates international use because it was
developed jointly by the U.S., Canada, and Mexico.
