 The most extensive book of business statistics published in Georgia is now available for 2000, accompanied for the first time by a special CD-ROM.
Published every two years by the Selig Center for Economic Growth in the Terry College of Business, the Georgia Statistical Abstract contains economic and demographic information ranging from consumer prices to crop yields.
“The new CD-ROM format gives users the option of having an electronic version of the abstract, with downloadable Excel and text files for all of the tables, which they can manipulate to suit their needs,” says editor Lorena Akioka. “The CD-ROM also includes files for the Selig Center’s most requested data series on buying power. The buying power series, spanning 1990 to 2001, provides disposable-income data broken down by racial and ethnic groups for all 50 states and every county in Georgia.”
The indexed volume provides statistical information for every county and metropolitan area in Georgia. Wherever useful, the abstract also lists figures for neighboring states and the nation for comparison.
In addition to several sections on the state’s economic resources, the reference book includes chapters on law enforcement, natural resources and transportation.
