Time Series Employment Analysis of NAICS
Project Overview
The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) is an industry classification system developed by the statistical agencies of Canada, Mexico and the United States. NAICS is designed to provide common definitions of the industrial structure of the three countries and a common statistical framework to facilitate the analysis of the three economies.
Following chart gives the analysis of NAICS codes:
For this project prepared data using the following files
NAICS 2017 – Statistics Canada: This file contains all the NAICS codes for the respective sectors and subsectors and their descriptions.
Raw Data: 15 CSV files and the file name beginning with word "RTRA". These files contain employment data by industry at different level of aggregation; 2-digit NAICS, 3-digit NAICS, and 4-digit NAICS. Columns mean as follows:
SYEAR: Survey Year
SMTH: Survey Month
NAICS: Industry name and associated NAICS code in the bracket
_EMPLOYMENT_: Employment
LMO Detailed Industries by NAICS: An excel file for mapping the RTRA data to the desired data. The first column of this file has a list of 59 industries that are frequently used. The second column has their NAICS definitions. Using these NAICS definitions and RTRAdata, you would create a monthly employment data series from 1997 to 2020 for these 59 industries.
Data Output Template: An excel file for the analysis output with an empty column for employment.
Preparing Data
Loading and exploring the LMO_Detailed_Industries_by_NAICS data.
%matplotlib inline
import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
import seaborn as sns
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
# Loading LMO_Detailed_Industries_by_NAICS data
lmo_detailed_industries_data = pd.read_excel('LMO_Detailed_Industries_by_NAICS.xlsx')
# create a list of NAICS for industries
naic_lists = lmo_detailed_industries_data['NAICS'].astype(str).str.replace(' &', ',').str.split(', ')
lmo_detailed_industries_data['NAICS_list'] = naic_lists
lmo_detailed_industries_data.head()
2-Digit NAICS Industries data:
Get the data of 2-digit NAICS industries from the Raw data.
# Get the data of 2digit NAICS industries
dataframe_2_naics = pd.read_csv('RTRA_Employ_2NAICS_00_05.csv')
file_2_naics = ['RTRA_Employ_2NAICS_06_10.csv',

# Append the lower_code and upper_code columns to the 2digits NAICS dataframe
dataframe_2_naics["lower_code"] = df1["lower_code"]
dataframe_2_naics["upper_code"] = df1["upper_code"]
dataframe_2_naics.head()
Created a function to get the 'LMO_Detailed_Industry' values for a NAICS code in RTRA files:
# Function to get the 'LMO_Detailed_Industry' values for a NAICS code in RTRA files
def add_lmo_industry(df):
lmo_df = lmo_detailed_industries_data.apply(lambda y: y["LMO_Detailed_Industry"]
if ((df['lower_code'] in y['NAICS_list']) or (df['upper_code'] in y['NAICS_list']))
else np.nan, axis=1)
lmo_df = lmo_df.dropna(how='all', axis=0)
if lmo_df.empty:
lmo_df = np.nan
else:
lmo_df = lmo_df.to_string(index=False)
return lmo_df Using the above function get the corresponding 'LMO_Detailed_Industry' values for 2-digit NAICS dataframe
# Get the LMO_Detailed_Industry for the 2digit NAICS RTRA file
dataframe_2_naics["LMO_Detailed_Industry"] = dataframe_2_naics.apply(add_lmo_industry, axis=1)
dataframe_2_naics.head(10)
Similarly got the 'LMO_Detailed_Industry' values for 3-digit and 4-digit NAICS codes in RTRA files.

# Separate the Industry description and NAICS code
df1 = pd.DataFrame(dataframe_3_naics['NAICS'].str.split('[').tolist(), columns=["NAICS", "CODE"])
df1["CODE"] = df1['CODE'].str.replace(']', '')
# Maintaining the table consistent as of 2-digit NAICS dataframe
dataframe_3_naics["lower_code"] = df1["CODE"]
dataframe_3_naics["upper_code"] = None
# Get the LMO_Detailed_Industry for the 3-digit NAICS RTRA file
dataframe_3_naics["LMO_Detailed_Industry"] = dataframe_3_naics.apply(add_lmo_industry, axis=1)

dataframe_4_naics = dataframe_4_naics.append(df, ignore_index=True)
# Maintaning the shape of dataframe_4_naics as of dataframe_2_naics
dataframe_4_naics["lower_code"] = dataframe_4_naics["NAICS"]
dataframe_4_naics["upper_code"] = None
# Get the LMO_Detailed_Industry for the 4-digits NAICS RTRA file

Calculating Industry wise Employment Summary
Combining all the 2, 3 and 4 digit NAICS dataframes into a single dataframe and then calculating the month wise employment summary per 'LMO Industry'.
cols = ["SYEAR", "SMTH", "LMO_Detailed_Industry", "_EMPLOYMENT_"]
# Creating a single dataframe with the columns Year, Month and LMO Industry and Employment from all the 2, 3 and 4 digits NAICS
naics_employment_detail_df = dataframe_2_naics[cols]
naics_employment_detail_df = naics_employment_detail_df.append(dataframe_3_naics[cols], ignore_index=True)
naics_employment_detail_df = naics_employment_detail_df.append(dataframe_4_naics[cols], ignore_index=True)
# drop rows with NaN values
naics_employment_detail_df = naics_employment_detail_df.dropna(axis=0, how='any')
# Calculate the Employment summary by Year, Month and LOM Industry
naics_employment_summary = naics_employment_detail_df.groupby(["SYEAR", "SMTH", "LMO_Detailed_Industry"], as_index=False).sum()
print(naics_employment_summary.shape)
naics_employment_summary.head()
Converting the data as per the 'Data_Output_Template' file:
# Read 'Data_Output_Template' file
data_output = pd.read_excel('Data_Output_Template.xlsx')
# Crate Year, Month and LMO_Detailed_industry combined idx to get the data_output formatted result naics_employment_summary1 = naics_employment_summary.copy() naics_employment_summary1['idx'] = naics_employment_summary1["SYEAR"].astype(str) + '-' + naics_employment_summary1["SMTH"].astype(str) + '-' + naics_employment_summary1["LMO_Detailed_Industry"]
data_output1 = data_output.copy()
data_output1['idx'] = data_output1["SYEAR"].astype(str) + '-' + data_output1["SMTH"].astype(str) + '-' + data_output1["LMO_Detailed_Industry"]
# Merge the two dataframes data_output1 and naics_employment_summary1
combined_data = pd.merge(data_output1, naics_employment_summary1, left_on='idx', right_on='idx', how='left')
# Fille tha NaN values with zero in '_EMPLOYMENT_' column
combined_data["_EMPLOYMENT_"] = combined_data["_EMPLOYMENT_"].fillna(0)
# Get the month wise employment summary data into "Employment" column of dat_output dataframe
data_output["Employment"] = combined_data["_EMPLOYMENT_"].astype(np.int)
data_output.head()
Exploratory Data Analysis
Here for the exploratory data analysis calculated Industry wise the employment summary.
# create a dataframe with industry wise employment summary
industry_wise_summary = data_output.groupby(["LMO_Detailed_Industry"])["Employment"].sum()

Conclusion
The Global Financial Crisis greatly affected all the sectors. Now the sectors also managing to increase their employment contribution. The top three largest employment contributor sectors are contributing almost 20 to 25% of Total employment. The Construction sector is the largest contributor with more than 11% contribution.
