The U.S. Bureau
of Labor Statistics (BLS) is perhaps the
richest source of domestic labor statistical data. As the
Federal Government's principal data gathering agency in
the field of labor economics with publications relating
to employment and unemployment, productivity, prices,
family expenditures, wages, industrial relations, and
industrial safety, the BLS home page provides numerous
links for obtaining data in a variety of ways. In some
instances, the link leads to a table. In other cases,
users must complete a form for the system to extract and
produce a table of the desired data. Some of the useful
links from the BLS home page are:
Economy at a Glance
Quick access to tables or graphs of current monthly
economic indicators such as labor market, hours,
earnings, productivity and prices on a monthly basis;
Publications and Research Papers
Which links to the Monthly Labor
Review onlin from
1990, the Occupational Outlook
Handbook, and Compensation and Working
Conditions online from 2001;

OECD in Figures, which offers a snapshot
of OECD economies through various subject categories,
including employment, can be found through the
Free Documents link on the OECD main
page, as well as through the Statistics
link. The other links under Statistics
may more often refer only to publication information for
the print or electronic product and not actually provide
actual text or data. Also, the currency of the data
varies depending on the link chosen. For example, the
Standardized Unemployment Rates graph
and table listed as the newest update under the
Labour Force Statistics link dates to
April 1997. Under the Frequently Requested
Statistics link, one can find an archive of
these figures dating back to the March 1996 news release
and as current as December 1998. The country graphs found
on the Main Economic Indicators page
include a graph for Labour Market
showing the unemployment rate for the selected country
over four years. The figures and some of the text are
available in PDF format.
