Bureau of Labor Statistics
As a division of the U.S. Department of Labor, the Bureau of Labor
Statistics (BLS) web site presents up-to-date U.S. economic statistical
information in a comprehensive and clearly organized format. Information
is arranged under broad categories such as "Inflation and Spending"
and "International Statistics." The latest numbers for
the Consumer Price Index, unemployment rate and the Producer Price
Index are prominently positioned on the home page. The BLS site
provides past and current statistics for the U.S. economy as a whole,
but individual state economic data can be obtained easily by clicking
the state on a color-coded map. The gem of this web site is the
"Economy at a Glance" section. A handy tool bar on the
home page provides quick links to this section as well as 1999 MARSBEST
winners Occupational Outlook Handbook and FEDSTATS. Overall, the
Bureau of Labor Statistics site is a one-stop web resource for finding
current U.S. economic data.
