State of Working America Data Library

The Economic Policy Institute (EPI) has a great employment statistics website called The State of Working America Data Library. This website contains information that may be of interest to letter carriers who are looking at economic trends.

Examples information on this website includes: wage data, unemployment statistics, calculations of wage gaps, labor-force participation rates, and other economic information.

What is the unemployment rate? What is the under-employment rate? What is the gender wage gap?

You can find answers to these and other questions at the State of Working America Data Library at http://www.epi.org/data/.
