Finding Business and Economics Statistics

Statistics related to business and economics can take you in a wide range of directions, depending on your inquiry.

You can also find statistics within scholarly literature, so pay attention to any statistics you come across and track down where the researcher found them (or if the researcher generated the statistics through their own scholarship).

Be sure to visit the library's Business and Management research guide for more ideas. And please reach out to a librarian for help, too. We enjoy helping you identify and track down statistics. Remember that if you google "business statistics" that you make sure you're evaluating the site so you know what you're looking at and where the data originated. Librarians can help you vet sites, too, and are happy to take a look at what you've found.
