Notes

The Monthly State Retail Sales (MSRS) report is a blended data product combining Monthly Retail Trade Survey data, administrative data, and third-party data. Data are available for year-over-year percent changes for Total Retail Sales excluding Nonstore Retailers as well as 11 North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) retail subsectors. For more information on the MSRS view the methodology (https://www.census.gov/data/experimental-data-products/monthly-state-retail-sales.html). This is the first version of these experimental data. This series measures retail sales for gasoline stations. The listed retailers correspond to 4471 in the 2017 NAICS manual.	2020-09-30	2026-08-20
