VANITY - need help finding a website
Today | Me-o-my-o

Posted on 09/23/2004 8:01:47 AM PDT by jcb8199

I realize this is probably in the wrong place, and is quite a waste, but I am looking for a gov't website I found a while back. It deals with $$$ and statistics, if I recall correctly, and was not an office of which I had heard before. Wasn't budget or expenditures, but was kind of a "hole-in-the-wall" office with a WEALTH of knowledge - statistics, graphs, etc. Any clues? Or is this a worthless post -- "I need to know the name of a gov't office--there are only 10,000 of 'em..."

Minneapolisfed.gov for market statistics, Department of Labor Statistics for almost anything else.

Simple, just go to google and search for:
- - -
government + website + statistics + "not an office" - budget - expenditures + "hole-in-the-wall" + "wealth of knowledge" + graphs
- - -
If that does not work try this:
- - -
stupid + vanity + post
- - -

Not sure if this is what you are looking for, but an interesting wellspring of numbers nevertheless.

You have to be more specific. "It deals with $$$ and statistics" is no good. Is it related to immigration, farms, weather, government budgets, state employees, cost of living, preservation of historical documents....

You don't give enough information about the site you're looking for.

U Michigan has an excellent list of sites of that type: HERE.

That was rude and un-called for.

What kind of stats? Spacebar's link in #4 is the best place to start.

BUREAU of Labor Statistics, that's the one I meant. See #6. Also, the BLS people are very nice on the phone. And don't let flames get you down. You should try some of the searches I've done on scanty information.
