2013 SUMMER EXPERIENCE REPORT
Distribution by Industry The chart on the following pages shows the range of industries represented in the summer experiences reported by students for the summer of 2013. Industries listed in the chart below are based on the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS), a standardized industry classification system used by federal statistical agencies and the Hoover’s Business Database to analyze and publish data related to U.S. businesses and the economy. This system offers comprehensive industry categories and subcategories and illustrates the wide range of industries in which our students pursue summer experiences. There are 19 primary industry categories and 68 industry subcategories represented in the summer experiences of Princeton students (a sample of subcategories appears in the chart below). The nonprofit sector is incorporated in the industry categories below and does not appear as a separate category.
