Major government study highlights surge in e-commerce

摘要

A closely watched government study of freight confirms the huge growth in e-commerce that we already knew anecdotally was happening. Conducted every five years by the U.S. Census Bureau, the Commodity Flow Survey (CFS) is a study of how much freight is moved and in what ways - i.e., mode, distance, weight, commodity, and industry. Preliminary data from the 2017 CFS was released in December.
