Abstract
Often times we get stuck in our silos with project demands and little time and resources to explore new data and tools. There is a world of public data available from state and federal agencies – in addition to the primary statistics agencies like Census and BLS – and this webinar will explore sources that can add value to your research and analysis. We’ll focus on public data with small area statistics and also explore examples of sites specializing in data aggregation and presentation.
