STatistical Abstracts for Reference

Abstract

The United States government is widely acknowledged as an inveterate collector and disseminator of statistical information. The various agencies of the government gather statistics on virtually every aspect of American life, as well as world affairs. The impact and use of these data are immeasurable, since U.S. government statistics on such topics as economics, society, and labor supply the bases for all forms of statistical research and analysis.
