Abstract:

The U.S. Census Bureau has conducted retail and wholesale trade censuses and sample surveys for many years. In keeping with the Bureau's long-standing commitment to produce quality data that is relevant, responsive to customer needs, and attentive to minimizing respondent burden, several projects are underway which will further expand and improve these retail and wholesale programs. This paper will discuss motivation, research, and implementation for: (1) expansion of the annual wholesale trade survey, (2) methodological and procedural improvements for the 2006 business sample revision, (3) restatement of historical time series to reflect the 2002 North American Industry Classification System, and (4) expansion of data collection integration for the 2007 Economic Census.
