State Stats

State Stats from CQ Press is a new database that makes available in an online, interactive format a wealth of statistical information from over 80 different government agencies and nongovernmental groups and organizations, including foundations, nonprofit entities, and trade associations. While most of this data is freely available in other sources, State Stats’ easy-to-use and intuitive interface, as well as its ability to easily compare and export data, make State Stats worthwhile for libraries with patrons in need of statistical and demographical data on a regular basis. Libraries where CQ Press statistical reference book titles, the basis for this database, are popular and well-used will especially benefit from the increased accessibility and functionality of this online version.
