Government Resources
A useful starting point when searching for government data.
Run by the National Technical Information Service (NITS), a branch of the
U.S. Commerce Department, this site indexes all sorts of government data
available on the Internet.
A great site for statistical information. The data included
in the statistical abstract tends to be the types of things that are of
interest to many people. More in-depth data (e.g. details by state, detailed
price indices, etc.) can be found at other government web sites.
Another good source for general economic data.
These two government sites are the most useful if you are looking
for detailed statistical tables. Be warned, however. Greater detail means
it can take longer to find what you are looking for!
