 Statistical Abstract of the United States

Source notes are at the foot of each table; a useful "Guide to Sources of Statistics " (at end) lists important statistical publications arranged by subject; there is also a "Guide to State Statistical Abstracts," and a "Guide to Foreign Statistical Abstracts."
