Blog - Check out our latest blog post, Economic Impacts of "Safer-at-Home" Visible from Census' Quarterly Services Survey.
Intention to Expand Seasonal Adjustment - Beginning with the March 2021 release for the fourth quarter of 2020, we anticipate the introduction of new seasonally adjusted estimates of revenue for selected industries within NAICS sectors 48-49, 51, 54, 61, 81, and subsector 721 into the Full Quarterly Services Report. For more information, please visit our seasonal adjustment FAQs and view the proposed Table 1a and Table 2 shells [47KB]. In addition, we anticipate including an additional row to Advance Quarterly Services Report tables effective with the February 2021 advance release for the fourth quarter of 2020. This update to add NAICS industry group 5111 will better align tables with the presentation of codes in the NAICS manual.
The proposed shells [54KB] are available for review.
Upcoming Benchmarking - Effective with the February 2021 advance release for the fourth quarter of 2020, not seasonally adjusted quarterly services estimates will be revised to reflect historical corrections and results of the 2019 Service Annual Survey. The seasonally adjusted Selected Services Total will be revised to reflect historical corrections, results of the 2019 Service Annual Survey, and new seasonal factors.
