Finding Economic Data & Statistics

Data Compilations

The database and ebooks on this page compile economic data and statistics from multiple sources.

Use compilations to: 

• Quickly finding key statistics on a variety of economic and market issues. 
• Seeing statistics on the same topic from various statistics-generating agencies pulled together in one place. 
• Identifying sources of economic data and statistics.

Good compilations will point you to where they got their data from. 

This allows you to go there yourself for complete, up-to-date, and often downloadable data. They can help you identify not only statistical organizations but individual reports and surveys created by those organizations that will help you answer your economic questions.
