Historical Statistical Abstracts This link opens in a new windowFully searchable data tables from the U.S. government’s annual publication from 1878 to 2012. The first edition contained a mere 150 tables, but that had grown by almost ten times by 2011. Make sure you choose All Editions in the Select Edition pull-down box. NOTE: A commercial publisher took over producing the annual volume after the U.S. government stopped in 2012. While the database contains these additional years, Hiram College does not have access to those tables.
