ARTS provides estimates that are more timely than those generated via the Economic Census which is a periodic program that collects data every 5 years in years ending in “2” and “7”, and more detailed than those produced through the Advance Monthly and Monthly Retail Trade Surveys, which are conducted each month. Learn about scope, historical trends for certain sectors, and what’s coming up next for this current annual survey. Retail data are waiting for you.
