Even the federal government has a Web site these
days. Check out http://www.fedstats.gov to find out how many people
moved to your state last year, how many tons of coal were burned or
where the fastest-growing job market is. Easy to use, even for
Luddites, the cyberspace site highlights often-requested data and
offers key word searches to locate information collected by 70
federal agencies – and you don’t need an agency’s name to search.
The site also includes The Statistical Abstract of the United
States and can connect users to agency press releases and
contacts.
