The most valuable reference tool in existence. The Statistical Abstract is the recognized authority for U.S. statistics and directs users to where they can find more detail in an easily readable format. Included are hot button topics of broad interest such as data on mortgages, student loan debt, religion, same sex households, child obesity, U.S. trade with China, and much more.
Reviews / Votes
ProQuest and Bernan made a splash in 2012 when they took over the government's long-running publication of Statistical Abstract. If you bought the title back then are thinking that edition will suffice for a while longer, you might want to reconsider. This year's edition includes a number of new tables on topics that have been running through the media lately and which your patrons might be seeking statistics - for example, rape and sexual assault among college-age women; terrorism deaths, injuries, and kidnappings of private U.S. citizens by country; and veterans' income, education, and poverty and disability status compared to nonveterans. The majority of the data is annual...so that skipping a year means missing out on new and revised data for about 1,200 of the 1,400 tables in the book. * Library Journal * Following the earlier editions, this venerable reference source is still one large volume of ready-reference statistical information. The majority of the data in the book has been updated, with about 1,200 of the 1,400 tables new and revised. New information includes data on such 'hot topics' as terrorism deaths, injuries, and kidnappings of private U.S. citizens by select countries; tables on earnings by sex and women's earnings as a percent of men's earnings by occupation; figures on sexual assault among college-age females; and veterans' income, education, and disability status compared to nonveterans. This remains a classic and important reference work, suitable for most public and academic libraries. * Booklist *More details
