Section 7.3- Government & Official Agencies Data
There's tons of data produced by various govenment departments, although
it often takes a bit of digging to find it.
The
World Factbook - produced by the CIA.
Lots of statistics for each country in the world. Similar information
could be found in a good almanac, but students seem to like browsing for
it on the Web.
Bureau of Labor Statistics
- lots of economic data -- an especially good source for time series data.
