Figured I might as well put together a list of websites that have useful information on the economy. Anyone who has similar sources, feel free to put them up too.

US Gov't Agencys-

CBO: The Congressional Budget Office
US Trade Representative- The US office responsible for, "developing and coordinating U.S. international trade, commodity, and direct investment policy, and overseeing negotiations with other countries. "
US International Trade Commission- An independent federal agency determining import injury to U.S. industries in antidumping, countervailing duty, and global and China safeguard investigations; directing actions against unfair trade practices involving patent, trademark, and copyright infringement; supporting policymakers through economic analysis and research on the global competitiveness of U.S. industries; and maintaining the U.S. Harmonized Tariff Schedule.
OMB: The Office of Management and Budget.
CIA World Factbook - Not an authoritative source, but has some useful quick facts in the economy section, and is also useful to do comparisons with the rank function.
US Census Bureau - Provides information on population which goes into producing a lot of economic statistics.
BLS - labor statistics
Bureau of Economic Analysis - Source for GDP and other related figures and estimates as they come out.
Economics and Statistics Administration - Provides a lot of links to economic information from other sources.

Detailed Info:
GDP Price Index
That's the Price Index (which is the techie-way to talk about inflation) for 1947 to 2004 in the US, you can set it to run from 1929 to 2004, if you want, but I don't know the code to put into the address bar to get it.
Stat-USA - Good source of detailed information and reports if you can work your way around the security system (or if you want to shell out 75 bucks).

International Groups:
Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development- The OECD groups 30 member countries sharing a commitment to democratic government and the market economy. With active relationships with some 70 other countries and economies, NGOs and civil society, it has a global reach. Best known for its publications and its statistics, its work covers economic and social issues from macroeconomics, to trade, education, development and science and innovation.
World Bank - Provides data and statistics on countries around the world.
United Nations Statistics Division - More international indicators.
IMF- if we put in the World Bank, a link to the IMF is only fair, no?

Misc
X-Rates- Exchange rates, pretty simple.
economics.about.com - pretty useful for some things.
FreeLunch.com - it has a ton of stuff.
EconomicIndicators.gov - probably just a combination of other sources, but it looks pretty good.

I use the CIA factbook alot when I'm doing research, I highly recommend it. Anyways, good links and good idea, thanks!


:maddox:

To add to that, some other government sources:

CBO: The Congressional Budget Office

and

OMB: The Office of Management and Budget.

ENJOY

I don't have the time to sift through the links right now so can anyone tell me if any of those links have inflation statistics for the past 60 years?
