Notice of Revision: Monthly retail estimates were revised on April 25, 2025 to reflect historical corrections and reflect the restated results of the 2022 Annual Retail Trade Survey. Estimates were restated to incorporate the 2017 North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) changes. In addition to the 2017 NAICS changes, the restated data represent employer-only firms to align with the Annual Integrated Economic Survey (AIES) and the Economic Census. For a detailed description of these changes, please see the Restatement Summary. Revisions to the monthly retail estimates were reflected as of the March 2025 Advance Economic Indicators released on April 29, 2025.

(*)The 90% confidence interval includes zero. The Census Bureau does not have sufficient statistical evidence to conclude that the actual change is different from zero. 

(r) Revised.

Estimates are adjusted for seasonal variation and holiday and trading-day differences but not for price changes.
