    THE ECONOMIC IMPACT OF THE U.S.RETAIL INDUSTRY

    EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

    The National Retail Federation engaged PwC to quantify the impact of the retail industry

    on the U.S. economy. In evaluating the retail industry's economic impacts, this reportconsiders three separate channels -- the direct, indirect, and induced impacts -- that inaggregate provide a measure of the total economic impact of the retail industry:

    Direct impact is measured as the jobs, labor income, and gross domesticproduct ("GDP") within the retail industry.

    Indirect impactis measured as the jobs, labor income, and GDP occurringin other industries due to the retail industry's purchases of inputs other thanmerchandise intended for resale.

    Induced impactis measured as the jobs, labor income, and GDP resultingfrom household spending of income earned either directly or indirectly fromthe retail industry's economic activities.

    This report finds that there are over 3.6 million retail establishments (including foodservices and drinking places) across the country, accounting for 11.9 percent of all

    business establishments in the country. These retail businesses directly provided28.1 million full-time and part-time jobs in 2009. The industry's direct labor incomeimpact was estimated to be $770 billion or 8.7 percent of the national labor income in2009. The industry directly added $1.2 trillion to GDP, accounting for 8.5 percent ofU.S. GDP in 2009 (see Table E-1).

    The Economic Impact of the U.S. Retail Industry

    1

    THE ECONOMIC IMPACT OF THE U.S.RETAIL INDUSTRY

    I. IntroductionThe National Retail Federation engaged PwC to quantify the impact of the retail industryon the U.S. economy. The retail industry comprises establishments engaged in retailingmerchandise and rendering services incidental to the sale of merchandise. The retailingprocess is the final step in the distribution of merchandise. The industry comprises twomain types of retailers: store and nonstore retailers.

    1. Store retailers, as defined by the North American Industry ClassificationSystem (NAICS), operate fixed point-of-sale locations, located and designed toattract a high volume of walk-in customers. In general, retail stores haveextensive displays of merchandise and use mass-media advertising to attractcustomers. They typically sell merchandise to the general public for personal orhousehold consumption, but some also serve business and institutional clients.In addition to retailing merchandise, some types of store retailers are also

    engaged in the provision of after-sales services, such as repair and installation.

    2. Nonstore retailers, like store retailers, are organized to serve the generalpublic, but their retailing methods differ. As defined by NAICS, theestablishments of this subsector reach customers and market merchandise withmethods such as the broadcasting of "infomercials," the broadcasting andpublishing of direct-response advertising, the publishing of paper and electroniccatalogs, door-to-door solicitation, in-home demonstration, selling from portablestalls (street vendors, except food), and distribution through vending machines.

    In evaluating the retail industry's economic impacts, this report considers all threeimpacts -- direct, indirect, and induced -- that in aggregate provide a measure of the total

    economic impact of the retail industry.

    Four main metrics are used to quantify the direct economic impact of the retailindustry:

    1. Number of establishments: An establishment is a single physical location atwhich business is conducted. A business may consist of more than oneestablishment.

    2. Employment: Jobs are positions filled by part-time and full-time employees orby self-employed individuals.

    3.

    Labor income: This includes wages and salaries, commissions, vacation andsick-leave pay, fringe benefits, and all other forms of compensation, includingemployer contributions for employee pension and insurance funds andgovernment social insurance. It also includes proprietors income for self-employed individuals and partnerships.

    4. Gross Domestic Product (GDP): Also known as margin or value added,the retail industry's GDP refers to the difference between receipts or revenuesand the cost of goods sold.

    The Economic Impact of the U.S. Retail Industry

    The economic impact of the retail industry extends beyond the industry itself. In its roleas the distributor of merchandise to the final consumer, the retail industry requires otherinputs from various industries (such as Real Estate, Business Services, Finance,

    Accommodation, Communication Services, Transportation, and Wholesale Trade) for itsoperations. These industries, in turn, purchase goods and services from their supplychain, spurring further economic activities. These supply chain effects represent the

    retail industry's indirecteconomic impact.

    Additionally, the employees and business owners in the retail industry and its supplychain, in their role as consumers, purchase an array of goods and services, generatingfurther demands that ripple through the economy. These represent the retail industry'sinducedeconomic impact.

    This study separately quantifies the industry's operational impact (due to itspurchases of intermediate inputs other than merchandise intended for resale) andcapital investment impact(due to its investment in new structures and equipment)at the national level. It further breaks out the industry's operational impactat thestate and congressional district level.1

    The rest of this report is organized as follows. Section II defines the retail industry forthis study. Section III presents the retail industry's national economic impact.Section IV presents the industry's economic impact at the state level. Section Vhighlights the industry's economic impact at the congressional district level. A summarytable for each state with its full congressional district level results is included in

    Appendix A. The data sources and methodology used in the impact analysis arediscussed inAppendix B.

    1 The industry's capital investment impact is not quantified at the state level due to datalimitations.

    II. Industry DefinitionIn the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS), the retail industry isdefined by two 2-digit NAICS codes: 44 and 45. In the Standard Industry Classification(SIC) system, the predecessor to the current NAICS system, the retail industry also

    included food services and drinking places, now classified as a service sector underNAICS 722.

    For this study, the retail industry is defined to include NAICS codes 44, 45 and 722, asshown in Table 1, below. Detailed NAICS descriptions follow the table.

    Total Economic Impact

    The total economic impact we have measured includes the direct impact (the jobs,labor income, and GDP within the retail industry), the indirect impact(the jobs, laborincome, and GDP occurring in other industries due to the retail industry's purchases ofinputs other than merchandise intended for resale), and the induced impact(the jobs,

    labor income, and GDP resulting from household spending of income earned eitherdirectly or indirectly from the retail industry's economic activities).

    PwC estimates that at the national level, the retail industry's operations directly andindirectly generated 41.0 million full-time and part-time jobs, provided $1.45 trillion inlabor income (including wages and salaries and benefits, as well as proprietors' income),and added $2.42 trillion to the national GDP in 2009. Further, the industry's capitalinvestmentof $69.8 billion in 2009 supported an additional 0.6 million jobs, with anassociated $36.1 billion in labor income and $60.4 billion in GDP. Combining bothoperational and capital investment impacts, the retail industry's total employmentimpact to the national economy amounted to 41.6 million full-time and part-time jobs in2009, accounting for 24.1 percent of the total employment in the country (see Table 5).

    The industry's total impact on labor income through its operational spending and capitalinvestment was estimated to be $1.49 trillion, or 16.9 percent of national labor income.The industry's total GDP impact was $2.48 trillion, accounting for 17.6 percent of U.S.GDP in 2009.
