8 0 0 Domestic Trade and Services
Statistics from the Bureau’s monthly wholesale trade survey include national estimates of merchant
wholesalers' sales, inventories, and stock-sales ratios by major summary groups— durable
and nondurable—and selected kinds of businesses. These data, based on reports submitted by a
sample of firms, appear in the Monthly Wholesale Trade Report. Annual figures on sales, salesinventory
ratios, and yearend Inventories appear in the Annual Wholesale Trade Report.
The Service Annual Sun/ey provides annual estimates of receipts for selected.kind-of-buslness
groups and professions for the United States as a whole.
For the current sample survey programs, retail trade coverage is the same as for the census;
wholesale trade coverage is limited to merchant wholesalers; and selected services coverage is
less inclusive than the census.
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.
