The Annual Refiling Survey (ARS) is used in conjunction with the Unemployment Insurance tax reporting system in each State. The primary purpose of the ARS is to verify or to correct the North American Industry Classification System code assigned to establishments as well as to obtain accurate mailing and physical location addresses of establishments. As a result, changes in the industrial and geographical compositions of the economy are captured in a timely manner and reflected in the BLS statistical programs. Federal, State, and local government officials as well as private researchers depend on accurate geographical and industrial coding based on the 2017 North American Industry Classification System Manual. BLS routinely shares NAICS codes with the Census Bureau to improve consistency, reduce costs and burden, and improve the accuracy of their products.
