The Quarterly Services Survey (QSS) is the only source of service industry indicator performance providing, for selected service industries, quarterly estimates of total operating revenue and the percentage of revenue by class of customer (government, business, household consumers/individual users). The survey also produces estimates of total operating expenses from tax-exempt firms in industries that have a large not-for-profit component. Selected service industries (using NAICS sectors (2-digit NAICS codes) and subsectors (3-digit NAICS codes)) include the NAICS sector 71: Arts, entertainment, and recreation. The QSS is conducted quarterly with the mail-out occurring at the end of each calendar quarter. The survey form is due 14 days after the end of the reference period. A new sample will be selected about every five to seven years. The Advance Quarterly Services Report is released online approximately 50 days after the calendar quarter, while the Full Quarterly Services Report is released online approximately every 75 days after each calendar quarter. The QSS is a sub-sample of the Service Annual Survey (SAS). All previously published reports can be found on the QSS Historical Data page.
