Data for this line not included in any aggregate kind-of-business totals.\ (3) Estimates are adjusted for seasonal variations and holiday and trading-day differences, but not for price changes.\ Cumulative seasonally adjusted sales estimates are not tabulated.\ (4) With the introduction of a new sample with estimates for the September 2006 data month, we have identified a change in the seasonal pattern for estimates in Men's clothing stores\ (NAICS 44811). As a result, we have temporarily suspended the release of seasonally adjusted estimates for this industry. Because of the seasonal adjustment methodology, we have\ also suppressed from publication all estimates back through the January 2001 data month for this industry. We will continue to provide estimates not adjusted for seasonality; however,\ these estimates should be used with caution, as the new sample estimates may not be comparable with estimates from the old sample.\ Note: Retail and food services total and other subsector totals may include data for kinds of business not shown.
