StatUSA

A service of the Economics and Statistics Administration of the U.S. Department of Commerce, is the site for the U.S. business, economic and trade community, providing authoritative information from hundreds of separate offices and divisions of the Federal government.

Two separate areas of information are provided: State of the Nation and GLOBUS & NTDB.

State of the Nation provides various financial and economic data from throughout the federal government and other related entities. Unlike the "GLOBUS & NTDB" section, SOTN concerns itself with the United States' domestic economy.  Basic areas of interest include:  General Economic Indicators; Housing and Construction; Employment; Manufacturing and Industry; Monetary Statistics; and Economic Policy.

GLOBUS (Global Business Opportunities) offers daily trade leads from the Trade Opportunities Program (TOPS), as well as the Department of Agriculture. GLOBUS also offers daily procurement activity from the Defense Logistics Agency, the United Nations, and the Commerce Business Daily leads.

The NTDB (National Trade Data Bank) provides access to Country Commercial Guides, Market Research reports, and Best Market reports. The NTDB also provides U.S. import and export statistics, as well as over 75 other various reports and programs.  The International Trade library is a comprehensive collection of over 40,000 documents related to international trade. All are full text searchable, as well as keyword searchable by country or product.  Historical trade leads are available for up to three months. Historical TOPS leads are provided for up to two years.
