************************************************************************************************ ADVANCE MONTHLY SALES FOR RETAIL AND FOOD SERVICES SUMMARY - JUNE 2005 ************************************************************************************************ The U.S. Census Bureau announced today that advance estimates of U.S. retail and food services sales for June, adjusted for seasonal variation and holiday and trading-day differences, but not for price changes, were $350.8 billion, an increase of 1.7 percent (±0.7%) from the previous month and up 9.6 percent (±0.8%) from June 2004. Total sales for the April through June 2005 period were up 8.4 percent (±0.5%) from the same period a year ago. The April to May 2005 percent change was revised from –0.5 percent (±0.7%)* to –0.3 percent (±0.2%). Retail trade sales were up 1.8 percent (±0.7%) from May and were up 9.8 percent (±0.8%) above last year. Gasoline station sales were up 16.2 percent (±3.1%) from June 2004 and sales of motor vehicle and parts dealers were up 14.3 percent (±2.8%) from last year. The advance estimates are based on a subsample of the Census Bureau’s full retail and food services sample. A stratified random sampling method is used to select approximately 5,000 retail and food services firms whose sales are then weighted and benchmarked to represent the complete universe of over three million retail and food services firms. Responding firms account for approximately 65% of the MARTS dollar volume estimate. For an explanation of the measures of sampling variability included in this report, please see the Reliability of Estimates section on the last page of this publication. The Advance Monthly Sales for Retail and Food Services for July is scheduled to be released August 11, 2005 at 8:30 a.m. EDT. For information, visit the Census Bureau’s Web site at . This report is also available the day of issue through the Department of Commerce’s STAT-USA (202-482-1986). * The 90 percent confidence interval includes zero. The Census Bureau does not have sufficient statistical evidence to conclude that the actual change is different from zero. TABLE 1A.
