State profiles

Economic and demographic data for each U.S. state are presented using charts, tables, and interpretive text. Each state is covered by a compact, standardized chapter that allows for easy data comparisons between states and with national and regional averages. A 10-page profile for each U.S. state plus the District of Columbia provides reliable, up-to-date information on a wide range of topics, including: population and labor force; income and poverty; government finances; economic structure; and education and health. The easy-to-use format also allows you to compare data across states, as well as with the national average.
