Socioeconomic Data Website Up
The Economic Development Administration has funded the creation of EconData.Net (http://www.econdata.net/), a website providing a searchable database with approximately 400 links to web-related socioeconomic data resources. EconData.Net provides a single site for referencing many materials used for developing science and technology indices or for comparing a state or region’s economic posture with other jurisdictions.
More than 300 information links are sorted across ten subject categories, including:
- demographics
- employment
- occupation
- income
- trade & output
- prices
- economic assets
- quality of life
- industry sectors
- firm listings
These same resource links are also organized by provider. An additional 75 sites containing on-line data sets and statistical references are collected under a third grouping on EconData.Net.
