Table note 1
The relative importance is calculated by dividing the weight of each component by the total weight. This weight corresponds to the aggregate revenue of establishments at the time of sample selection, derived from the Annual Wholesale Trade Survey (2445). The total does not equal 100 as the business-to-business electronic markets, and agents and brokers subsector (North American Industry Classification System code 419) was not surveyed.
