Intention to Revise: Monthly retail sales, inventories, and inventories-to-sales ratios estimates will be revised to reflect historical corrections and will reflect the restated results of the 2022 Annual Retail Trade Survey and the Service Annual Survey.  Estimates will be restated to incorporate the 2017 North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) changes.  In addition to the 2017 NAICS changes, the restated data will represent employer-only firms to be aligned with the Annual Integrated Economic Survey (AIES) and the Economic Census.  For a detailed description of these changes, please see the Restatement Summary. Publication tables will be reformatted to incorporate the 2017 NAICS definitions. Revised not adjusted estimates and corresponding adjusted estimates are scheduled for release on April 25, 2025 at 10:00 a.m. EDT.

(*)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.
