Books of Reference I. Statistical Information
Within the federal government of the U.S.A., responsibilities for the collection, compilation, analysis and publication of statistics are decentralized among a number of agencies, with specified responsibilities for general-purpose statistics in particular areas. In addition, most agencies of the Government collect statistical data as a by-product of their administrative or operating responsibilities in specific fields. Responsibility for co-ordinating the decentralized statistical activities rests in the Office of Statistical Standards, Bureau of the Budget, Washington 25, D.C., as a part of the Executive Office of the President. This Office reviews all proposed collections of statistical data to avoid duplication or overlapping; promotes the use of improved statistical techniques; develops standard definitions and classifications so that the data collected by different agencies are comparable; serves as liaison between federal agencies and international organizations and as an information centre on government statistical programmes. The Division does not itself collect-or publish statistics.
The major general-purpose statistical agencies and their principal areas of responsibility are
(1) Bureau of the Census in the Department of Commerce (Dr Robert W. Burgess, Director). Decennial censuses of population and housing and quinquennial censuses of agriculture, manufactures and business; current statistics on population and the labour force, manufacturing activity and commodity production, retail and wholesale trade and services, foreign trade, and state and local government finances and operations.
(2) Bureau of Labor Statistics in the Department of Labor (Ewan Clague, Commissioner). Current statistics on employment, earnings, man-hours, labour turnover, industrial accidents, work stoppages, wage rates; collective bargaining agreements; construction; industrial productivity; wholesale prices, retail prices and urban consumers’ price indexes; income and expenditures of urban families.
(3) Bureau of Agricultural Economics in the Department of Agriculture (Oris V. Wells, Chief). Statistics on crop and livestock production ami inventories; crop forecasts; food processing and food consumption; farm population, labour and wages; farm management; farm ownership values, transfers, taxation and finance; prices farmers pay and receive; farm income.
(4) National Office of Vital Statistics in the Public Health Service, Federal Security Agency (Haibert L. Dunn, Chief). Current statistics oil births, deaths, marriages and divorce.
(5) Bureau of Mines in the Department of the Interior (James Boyd, Director). Statistics on production, consumption and stocks of metals and minerals, and on injuries in mineral industries.
Other agencies in which statistics are an important by-product of regulatory or other administrative functions include: Social Security Administration in the Federal Security Agency; Bureau of Internal Revenue in the Treasury Department; Federal Power Commission; Federal Trade Commission; interstate Commerce Commission, and the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Among the more important statistical publications of a fairly general nature are
