Section 29 Distribution and Services This section presents statistics relating to retail and wholesale trades and selected service industries. Data shown for the distribution trades, classified by kind of business, and for the various categories of services (personal, business, repair, amusement, hotel, etc.) cover sales or receipts, establishments, employees, payrolls, proprietors, and other items. Also included are several tables on advertising expenditures The principal sources of these data are the reports of the Census of Business and of annual and monthly surveys conducted by the Bureau of the Census. Data on retail sales, wholesale inventories and sales, consumer expenditures for services, etc. appear in the monthly Survey of Current Business, issued by the Bureau of Economic Analysis (formerly the Office of Business Economics). Financial data for tax-filing and securities-listed corporations engaged in retail, wholesale, or service trades, and for sole proprietorships and partnerships similarly engaged, appear in the annual Statistics of Income, published by the Internal Revenue Service, and are also available from the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Federal Trade Commission collects operating statistics on firms and chains in various kinds of business. Censuses and current surveys.-Censuses of business have been taken at intervals since 1929. Present legislation provides for a quinquennial census to be conducted for years ending in "2" and "7." Data from the 1967 census on establishments, sales or receipts, personnel, and payroll are available in a series of State reports. Current sample surveys conducted by the Bureau of the Census cover various aspects of the retail and wholesale trades and selected service industries. Estimates of weekly sales in retail stores are shown for the United States, by kind of business, in the Bureau's Weekly Retail Sales Report. Its Monthly Retail Trade Report contains monthly estimates of sales and end-of-month accounts receivable of all retail stores, and of retail organizations operating 11 or more stores, for the United States, by kind of business. Also included are monthly retail sales data for census regions and divisions, 15 large States, and 20 large standard metropolitan statistical areas. Annual figures on sales, sales-stock ratios, merchandise purchases, and year-end inventories and accounts receivable data, classified by kind of business, are presented in the Annual Retail Trade Report. Statistics from the Bureau's monthly wholesale trade survey include merchant wholesalers' sales, inventories and stock-sales ratios by kind of business, for the United States, as well as sales, and inventory trends by kind of business and by geographic divisions. Monthly sales estimates are also shown by geographic divisions for the summary groups-durable goods wholesalers, nondurable goods wholesalers, and all wholesalers combined. These data, based on reports submitted by a sample of firms representing merchant wholesalers in all kinds of business, appear in the Monthly Wholesale Trade Report. The monthly Selected Services Receipts Report provides monthly estimates of receipts for six major kind-of-business groups for the United States as a whole. The monthly retail, wholesale, and service trades data are adjusted by the Bureau of the Census for seasonal variations and, in the case of sales, also for trading day differences. These data are also published in the Survey of Current Business. The Bureau of the Census issues a quarterly report on green coffee inventories in the United States as well as total coffee roastings and roastings for soluble use. The Bureau's Canned Food Report, issued five times a year, provides canner and distributor stocks of various canned foods as well as canners' data on pack and shipments. Estimates obtained from annual and monthly surveys are based on sample data and are not expected to agree exactly with results that would be obtained from a complete census of all establishments. Data include estimates for establishments not reporting; however, measures of sampling variability, shown in the source reports, exclude biases arising from differences of response or from nonreporting. |
