The pdf is lengthy, but it contains several reports (I am paraphrasing BLS’ descriptions of each report below):

  • The births and deaths of business establishments in the United States- Basically a report that discusses the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ (BLS) attempt to better measure business start-ups and failures (as an indication of entrepreneurship).  The bonus is that they provide lots of statistics on this topic.
  • Expenditure patterns of young single adults: two recent generations compared- A report comparing the spending habits of “young, never-married adults in 2004-05 and their counterparts in 1984-85.”
  • Business Processes and Business Functions: a new way of looking at employment- BLS created a new classification system and combined it with their Mass Layoff Statistics to gain a new perspective on employment.
  • Service-providing occupations, offshoring, and the labor market- An analysis of service-providing occupations’ susceptbility to offshoring.

The Monthy Labor Report is produced by the U.S. Department of Labor: Bureau of Labor Statistics.  I am linking you to the December 2008 report.

Gallup Poll News Service       

Description: The Gallup Poll News Service is the internet’s leading polling-based news source.  The Gallup Poll News Service provides news centered on public opinion. Published each business day, articles from the Gallup Poll News Service analyze findings and trends in politics, business, social issues, and Americans’ lifestyles.

 

Gallup Poll Tuesday Briefing  

Description: The Gallup Poll Tuesday Briefing is Gallup’s premier weekly online news publication.  Each Tuesday, the Gallup Poll Tuesday Briefing publishes in-depth articles on the opinions and issues Gallup is investigating in government, in the workplace, in schools, in hospitals, and in faith communities.

 

Those needing opinion poll data should also try using the Polls & Surveys SmartIndexing term in combination with news searches run from the Power Search form or the News search form. This will retrieve news stories that report on the contents of public opinion polls.

 

To only search a specific publication, you can click on the Source tab in LexisNexis Academic and then search for Gallup Polls in the “Find a Source” search box.  You must then select the publication title, click the “Ok-Continue” box, and it will allow you to search only within the publication you selected.
