Validity of data isn't clear

[kevindecapite]

In comparing your list with this one:

https://www.sec.gov/info/edgar/siccodes.htm

I'm noticing that your first entry for "Wheat, 0111" can't be found on the SEC.gov website. Which is correct?

Your source repository is from here:
https://www.osha.gov/pls/imis/sic_manual.html

Which doesn't seem to match the SEC's. How do we decipher this exactly?

Hey, I'm curious to know if there are any utilities available which will return the SIC code for a particular business. More precisely: business name/address/ZIP code would be the input and SIC code would be the output.

I am not sure this is a valid issue -- I am guessing the SEC list is for the various codes and their corresponding departments, which is probably a subset of the larger overall list. @kevindecapite have you confirmed that this is not the case? If it is, it would be great to close this issue.

Thank you for following-up. Unfortunately, I don't recall why I considered this a problem in the first place. Most likely I was trying to determine whether or not to use your CSVs or perhaps pull from the SEC directly. I am guessing at even that, however, since the project for which these codes were needed hasn't received any updates in a couple of years.

Feel free to close if you like.
