Statistics Sources

Statistics Sources
Statistics Sources provides listings of government and nonprofit organizations that have key statistics based on the topic listed. The best way to use this resource is after you enter your search terms and view listings, copy and paste the title of the statistics table (labeled as SOURCE) and then in Google put that phrase within quotation marks. If it does not lead you to anywhere, copy and paste the URL of the organization that hosts the statistics table. When you are viewing a statistcs table, always look at the legend with it. Sometimes numbers may stand for hundreds, thousands, or even millions. The legend will let the student know what those numbers actually stand for.
