Definition

Monthly sales of nonstore retailers (NAICS 454) in the United States, in millions of US dollars at current prices, seasonally adjusted. Census Bureau Monthly Retail Trade Survey, from January 1992.

Sales by kind of business: Census classifies each business by its main activity, so all its sales count there whatever the product (groceries sold by supercenters count under general merchandise stores, not grocery stores). Not consumer spending, which BEA measures by product and which includes services such as housing and health care. Adjusted for seasonal variation and holiday and trading-day differences, but not for price changes, so changes include inflation.
