Document Summary
Each correct answer is worth 10 big points! This exercise is going to focus on a resource call statistical abstract of the united states. Abstract was once upon a time compiled and published by the federal government. For whatever reason, the government isn"t doing it anymore, and the stat-ab is now privately published. Used to be a free publication: now you have to pay for it. Anyway, you don"t have to pay for it. The library makes it available to you for nothing, and it"s online. The reason you want to be familiar with statistical abstract is it pulls together statistics on numerous subjects from a variety of sources and saves you the trouble of having to chase down these numbers all over everywhere. Also, the government is considered an honest broker when it comes to information, and so it reports the stats it gathers without bias.
