' Shipments and new orders are the totals for the period and are adjusted for trading-day and calendar-month variations.

(n) When new orders for a prior month are negative because of cancellations, the percentage change calculation is algebraically negative, even though there is a net ¢
increase from the prior month to the current month,

Note : Estimates of manufacturers’ shipments, inventories and orders are subject to survey error and revision. One major component of survey error is nonsampling «
which includes errors of coverage, response, and nonreporting. Since the survey panel is not a probability sample, estimates of sampling error cannot be calculated. Fu
details on survey design, methodology, and data limitations are contained in our most recent annual benchmark publication, Current Industrial Reports: M3-1
“Manufacturers’ Shipments, Inventories, and Orders: 1987-1996."
