NOTICE OF CORRECTION: The Manufacturing and Trade Inventories and Sales (MTIS) release for November 2009 was revised on January 28, 2010 to reflect revisions issued to the November 2009 Manufacturers' Shipments, Inventories, and Orders (M3) release on January 15, 2010. As a result, the seasonally adjusted November 2008 estimates for manufacturers and total business were updated in the November 2009 MTIS release. Updates to the MTIS release impacted the level estimates and the November 2009 to November 2008 year-to-year change estimates for manufacturers and total business sales and inventories and the November 2008 inventories/sales ratio. Historic time series were updated to reflect revised information back to January 2001. For further information on the M3 revision, please see http://www.census.gov/m3.
*Be advised, due to inclement weather, the December 2009 MTIS release is rescheduled from Thursday, February 11 at 8:30 am EST to Friday, February 12 at 8:30 am EST.
