- promote causes and beliefs for the public good; and establishments that have an active membership structure to
- promote causes and represent the interests of their members. Establishments in this subsector may publish

- # Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services
- The Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services sector comprises establishments 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 these 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.
- Industries in the Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services subsector group establishments engaged in
- processes where human capital is the major input. These establishments make available the knowledge and skills of
- their employees, often on an assignment basis, where an individual or team is responsible for the delivery of services
- to the client. The individual industries of this subsector are defined on the basis of the particular expertise and
- training of the services provider.
- The distinguishing feature of the Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services subsector is the fact that most of
- the industries grouped in it have production processes that are almost wholly dependent on worker skills. In most of
- these industries, equipment and materials are not of major importance, unlike health care, for example, where "high
- tech" machines and materials are important collaborating inputs to labor skills in the production of health care.
- Thus, the establishments classified in this subsector sell expertise. Much of the expertise requires degrees, though
- not in every case.
