Special Notice
Beginning with the fourth quarter 2008 QFR press release, scheduled for Monday, March 30, 2009, at 10:00 am eastern time, the QFR program will issue separate press releases for Retail Trade, and for the combined Manufacturing, Mining, and Wholesale Trade. This change is effective only for fourth quarter QFR press releases, since separate press releases for Retail Trade and for the combined Manufacturing, Mining, and Wholesale Trade already are issued for the first, second, and third quarters.
In addition, beginning with the first quarter 2009 QFR press releases, the press release for Retail Trade will be issued earlier, approximately one week after the press release for the combined Manufacturing, Mining, and Wholesale Trade. This change is effective only for first, second, and third quarter QFR press releases, since for the fourth quarter, QFR press releases for both Retail Trade and the combined Manufacturing, Mining, and Wholesale Trade will occur on the same day. The calendar year 2009 QFR press release schedule is as follows:
| QFR Quarter | Manufacturing, Mining, and | Retail Trade |
| | Wholesale Trade | |
| | | |
| Fourth Quarter 2008 | March 30, 2009 | March 30, 2009 |
| First Quarter 2009 | June 15, 2009 | June 22, 2009 |
| Second Quarter 2009 | September 14, 2009 | September 21, 2009 |
