Definition: The Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services sector (sector 54) of the 1997 Economic Census covers establishments with payroll that specialize in performing professional, scientific, and technical activities for others. These activities require a high degree of expertise and training. The establishments in this sector specialize according to expertise and provide services to clients in a variety of industries and, in some cases, to households. Activities performed include: legal advice and representation; accounting, bookkeeping, and payroll services; architectural, engineering, and specialized design services; computer services; consulting services; research services; advertising services; photographic services; translation and interpretation services; veterinary services; and other professional, scientific, and technical services.

Comparability with SIC data: The Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services sector (new) primarily includes professional and other highly specialized technical service establishments that were classified in SIC Division I, Services.
