Social Science Data

A method for novices to become more acquainted with data and statistics would be to subscribe to the e-mail newsletters from the Census Bureau and from FRED St Louis. (That is the Federal Reserve Bank of St Louis). Governments collect a lot of data and statistics about various industries and sectors of the country and the world. Citizens can take advantage and access much of this data. The newsletters often inform people about the the data and statistics and present interesting analyses. Students asked to work with data may get ideas of what data is available and how it could be used for their own purposes.

Federal Reserve Bank of St Louis is the one closest to Terre Haute, IN, and the one most likely to be supplying analyses relevant to the Terre Haute.  

It can be interesting to skim down the newsletters to see what's new in data analysis.
