What is FedStats?
FedStats is the new window on the full range of official statistical information
available to the public from the Federal Government. Use the Internet's powerful
linking and searching capabilities to track economic and population trends,

and more. Access official statistics collected and published by more than
100 Federal agencies without having to know in advance which agency
produces them.
Note: All of the statistical information available through FedStats is maintained and
updated solely by Federal agencies on their own web servers.

other techniques of observation and data collection

evaluation

Some principal statistical programs,

by agencies (the Bureau of Labor Statistics and
the Energy Information Administration, respectively) whose sole missions are
statistical. In other cases, agencies have statistical programs that support
their program planning and evaluation functions.
