Greetings from Tampa/St. Pete: We've been hearing a lot about the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) for the last couple of years. No mystery as to why. As the "(p)rincipal fact-finding agency for the Federal Government in the broad field of labor economics and statistics," It's the source of all those anxiety-producing economic news releases. You know...the unemployment rate, the consumer price index, import/export prices, salaries/wages/benefits... Besides raw numbers, the BLS also churns out a lot of reports, and we try to post most of them on DocuTicker. Some recent examples: * National Compensation Survey: Health and Retirement Plan Provisions in Private Industry in the United States, 2009 <http://digbig.com/5bcarw> * Fact Sheet: Workplace Shootings <http://digbig.com/5bcarx> * Issues in Labor Statistics: Illness-related work absences during flu season <http://digbig.com/5bcary> * National Compensation Survey: Occupational Earnings in the United States, 2009 <http://digbig.com/5bcasa> The BLS website itself is particularly content-rich. Among other things you'll find here are such well-known resources as the Occupational Outlook Handbook <http://digbig.com/5bcasb> and the Career Guide to Industries <http://digbig.com/5bcasc>. Have a great week. sdk Join 1,400+ plus other folks and follow us on Twitter: * Combined ResourceShelf and DocuTicker feed: <http://www.twitter.com/resourceshelf> * DocuTicker only feed: <http://www.twitter.com/docuticker> * Shirl tweets here: <http://twitter.com/webdoyenne> And we're on Facebook, too: * DocuTicker: <http://www.facebook.com/pages/DocuTicker/44566289460> * ResourceShelf: <http://www.facebook.com/pages/ResourceShelf/45783383771> * Gary: <http://www.facebook.com/people/Gary-Price/580249905> * Shirl: <http://www.facebook.com/people/Shirl-Kennedy/566607461> ++ Your DocuTicker and ResourceShelf Editorial Team ++ Shirl Kennedy Senior Editor <shirl.kennedy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Gary Price Founding Editor <gary.price@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Adrian Janes Contributing Editor Steven Cohen Contributing Editor Dan Giancaterino Contributing Editor Laura Gordon-Murnane Contributing Editor Stuart Basefsky, MLIS Contributing Editor
