It is very likely that the sic_classification dataset is outdated, as it was first merged 4 years ago.

Possible actions (not mutually exclusive): Determine if the dataset is referring to some different SIC classification system Deprecate the sic_classification dataset Update the sic_classification dataset to the latest version
