Where the action is...

You’ve probably seen BLS data in textbooks, heard about it on TV, or used our numbers while conducting research for a paper.  To disseminate our data, we publish numerous articles, news releases, reports, and periodicals.  We receive many web site visits and e-mail inquiries each day.  In addition, we respond to numerous inquiries by telephone in our Washington and regional offices.  The amount of economic information that you’ll be exposed to firsthand is vast.
