Résumé
The Annual Wholesale Trade Survey (AWTS) provides detailed industry measures of sales and inventories for wholesale trade activities. Title 13 of the United States Code authorizes the Census Bureau to conduct this survey and provides for mandatory responses. Merchant wholesalers and manufacturers' sales branches and offices (MSBOs) provide estimates on annual sales, end-of-year inventories, inventory valuation, purchases, operating expenses, and e-commerce data. The AWTS also began collecting sales, commissions, and operating expenses data for agents, brokers, and electronic markets (AGBRs) in 2005. The survey covers companies with employment that are primarily engaged in wholesale trade in the U.S., including MSBOs and agents, brokers, and electronic markets. Use of these data requires Internal Revenue Service (IRS) approval. The Census Bureau will coordinate all additional necessary reviews.
