The BSC (Business Statistics by Size Class) database, provides comparable information by detailed industrial sector (up to 4-digit level) where industries are defined according to the International Standard of Industrial Classification (ISIC) Revision 3, broken down by business size for the following economic variables: Turnover; Production at producers' prices; Value added at basic prices and/or factor costs; Gross operating surplus; Total purchases of goods and services; Change in stocks of goods and services; Purchases of energy products; Gross investment in tangible goods; Gross investment in land;Gross investment in existing buildings and structures; Gross investment in machinery and equipment; Number of persons engaged; Number of employees; Number of females' employees; Number of employees in full time equivalent units;Hours worked by employees; Compensation of labour, all persons engaged; Compensation of labour; Wages and salaries, all persons engaged; Wages and salaries, employees; Other employers' social contributions, employees; Number of enterprises and/or establishments. Businesses are allocated to size classes on the basis of the number of persons engaged. The size class breakdowns used by national statistics institutes vary widely and so to improve comparability the OECD has defined five standardised size classes that are shown in this database. For most countries they conform to the following size classes: 1-9; 10-19; 20-49; 50-249 and 250+, however it is not always possible to present country data in this way; as shown in the accompanying metadata. All OECD countries are covered, although the coverage of variables varies, with data typically available for the period 1995 to 2007, whereas for some countries more recent and more historical data are available.
