STATISTICAL SOURCES The U.S. Government is the largest
producer of statistical information in the world.
Data is needed in many kinds of research projects.
Statistical Abstract first
It can be helpful to ask, “Who would be interested in this data? Who would collect it?”
![Page 19: AIHEC Presentation](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062614/546d58b7af7959693c8b5e2d/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
CENSUS BUREAU Data on most aspects of American life,
from basic demographics, to economics, to household characteristics.
Historical data on ethnicity, religion, finances, and more.
Census Bureau A to Z is good for pointing in the right direction.
