Employment/Unemployment and Earnings Statistics: A Guide to Locating Data in U.S. Documents

by John Munder Ross

Overview

The first reference work to provide librarians, students, and researchers with a single bibliographic tool to locate statistics on employment and income in the multitude of U.S. government documents. This bibliography is divided into three sections: comprehensive reports with general data on employment and income; reports with information on employment only; and reports with material on income only. The extensive, two-part subject index helps locate labor statistics on specific population groups, specific locations, specific industries and occupations, and other subject areas. The detailed reports on employment and income are analyzed in a grid format by geographic area (subdivided by age, sex, and race), congressional district, zip code, industry, and occupation.
