Why Concordances Don't Line Up 1:1

The Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) system was established in 1937 and last updated in 1987, organizing businesses by end products. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) replaced it in 1997, classifying establishments by production processes. Because of this structural shift, many-to-many relationships are common, requiring chained concordance steps to bridge the historical gap.
