C-SPAN's America by the Numbers

Every Friday on C-SPAN's "America by the Numbers," experts inside and outside the federal statistical system join together to offer engaging interviews about the numbers that measure our nation. Compelling statistics highlight the issues affecting life in America. The 45-minute program focuses on issues of the day through the lens of public insights into the federal statistics that may help them form their views. Furthermore, it helps build statistical literacy so that viewers can recognize the importance of federal statistics and trust the methods of collecting, analyzing and disseminating the information products that result. Audiences participate through social media and call-in questions. If you would like to keep the conversation going on Twitter or ask a question during a segment, use #ABTN.
