Online tables and charts of basic statistics about the social, political and economic conditions of the United States.
In print, the Statistical Abstract of the United States is a one-volume, comprehensive summary of statistics on the social, political, and economic organization of the United States. Online it is 1400+ individually indexed tables (with attached spreadsheets), both searchable and browsable. Online edition includes:
-Line-item access to tables
-Updated monthly instead of annually
-Table-specific capabilities for narrowing results by source, data date, subject, type of data breakdown
The Statistical Abstract is a great place to begin a search for statistical information since the footnotes lead you to the original source, which most frequently is more comprehensive.
You will want to evaluate sources for credibility prior to use. The CRAAP (currency, relevance, authority, accuracy, and purpose) framework can assist you in the evaluation process.

• Business/SPEA Citation Guide
Examples of how to cite business information in both MLA and APA citation formats. The Purdue OWL is a good source of general citation information. Citing sources often involves knowing whether evidence is common knowledge. MIT's "What is Common Knowledge" can help you explore this concept. The Writing Tutorial Services guide for "How to Use Evidence" can also be helpful for citation.
