For economics and sociological research, lists of industries and their branches are widely used in research to categorize data and get an overview on different types of industries. However, many different taxonomies and ordering schema exist, due to different research focus but also due to different national scenarios and interests. In this paper, we will focus without loss of generality on regional data from Germany. Manual annotation of textual data is time-consuming and tedious, naturally giving rise to our initial research question, also highly inspired by questions from computational social sciences: How can we automatically categorize textual data, e.g. job advertisements or business profiles, by industrial sectors? We will present an approach towards classification using a pre-trained domain-adapted Transformer model. We find that domain-adapted models generalize better and outperform state of the art non domain-adapted Transformer models on Out-Of-Distribution data. Additionally, we open source two novel data-sets mapping textual data to WZ2008 sections and divisions, enabling further research.
