这一天通常被认为标志着圣诞采购季节的正式开始，由于这一天的零售数据几乎占据了美国全国零售商全年销售总额的１０％，“黑色星期五”成为华尔街分析师观察美国零售业的重要指标。
由于汽油价已经跌破每加仑2美元；分析师们曾指望人们将把从汽油花费里省出来的钱用于圣诞采购季节。
根据总部位于芝加哥的零售业信息分析机构“购物者跟踪”提供的初步统计数据，今年“黑色星期五”的美国零售业实现销售额１０６亿美元，较去年同期相比增长３％。虽然这个数字乍看起来不错，但是，“如果扣除通货膨胀因素的话，今年这个销售数字几乎与去年持平”，一家咨询公司分析师费尔德曼说，“这个结果无法令人满意，今年零售业的销售将持平于去年甚至下滑。”但华尔街分析师认为这已达到了最好的最低预期。（ holiday season appear at best in line with stores' low expectations.）
如果零售业绩在圣诞采购季节的关键一个月里见不到提升，预计中的近7千家零售店将在2009年1月里关闭。
美国第二大家用电器零售业商 Circuit City上周宣布申请破产保护，将关闭全美155家分店，裁减17%员工。
每年零售业最期待的就是感恩节，因为感恩节过後就是零售业者最重要的圣诞购物季，但今年9月以来所有经济数据都不好，10月零售业销售，只有Wal-Mart营收增加2.2%，其他零售业全部下滑，创下35年单月最低的纪录。
而8月开始，CPI消费者物价指数已经连续两个月下跌！10月CPI指数变成负1%创下61年最大降幅，美国整个零售市场研究单位（TNS Retail Forward）更预测，到明年底为止将会有的超过25%以上的零售业总计约1.48万家被迫关门。
根据美国消费调查报告，高达84%的民众圣诞节计划节省开销，另外59%的人会减少圣诞礼物的支出。
