Latest Annual Retail Trade Report
With the release of the 2010 Annual Retail Trade Survey (ARTS) estimates in March 2012,
estimates for 2009 and all previous years will be revised to reflect improvements in the coverage
of nonemployer businesses (i.e., businesses with no paid employees) that were implemented with the
release of the 2009 Nonemployer Statistics. For additional information on these improvements and
their effect on the nonemployer totals, see the Nonemployer Statistics home page at
http://www.census.gov/econ/nonemployer/index.html.
Revisions to published estimates may also occur because of corrections made to previously reported data
and the replacement of imputed data with reported data obtained from the company. Because ARTS does not
publish employer plus nonemployer estimates of total expenses or accounts receivable, estimates for these data
items will not be affected by the changes implemented with the release of the 2009 Nonemployer Statistics.
The 2009 Annual Retail Trade Report was released on March 31, 2011.
A Summary of Changes provides comparability with previous surveys.
