Statistical Abstract of the US on the chopping block!
This is an outrage to data lovers everywhere: The Statistical Abstract of the US (as well as other compendia of statistics created by the census department) is on the chopping block and will be eliminated after the 2012 edition is published. Robert J. Samuelson, economics columnist for the Washington Post, writes about this travesty here. This is just ridiculous. The Stat. Ab. is an essential data book for US researchers, and it can’t be replaced by other sources. Write to Congress, folks!
