A panel will review recent changes in retail trade and assess how they affect measures of employment and productivity in retail-related industries. The panel will consider whether a special account in the national accounts (a “satellite account”) could be designed to capture this retail transformation better than current measures by adding data from related industries, such as warehousing and trucking. The panel will hold a public workshop and produce a consensus report with conclusions about the value of a satellite account for retail and possible improvements for measuring employment, hours, and productivity in retail-related industries.
