Answer to Question 1

The Encyclopedia of Associations identifies industry-related trade associations that collect and disseminate data that are related to their industry. This publication is also an excellent source for identifying private organizations having special interests that may be related to the business researcher's information needs.

Answer to Question 2

The Census of Population is the research for which the Bureau of the Census is probably best known. It is conducted every 10 years and provides detailed information on the U.S. population, including age, education, employment, gender, and a broad range of other demographic characteristics.
