Web site - Bureau of Labor Statistics

Two books in the Library's reference collection, the Handbook of U.S. Labor Statistics 2005 and Employment, Hours, and Earnings; States and Areas 2005, were covered in a recent post here. The data in these handbooks are from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). For the full range of BLS statistics, in such categories as Inflation & Consumer Spending, Safety & Health, Occupations, and Industries, to name just a few, go to the comprehensive BLS website. Besides national, state and local statistics, the site includes customized table options; detailed and most frequently requested statistics; surveys and programs; and proposed changes to adjustments.
