As the gold-standard source of information on labor market activity, working conditions, price changes, and productivity in the U.S. economy, the Bureau of Labor Statistics has, for over 136 years, embodied the ideal of “connecting the world with data we can trust”.

Watch BLS Commissioner William Beach and others as they discuss their favorite statistics and consider the importance of statistics in our daily lives.

We also invite you to read about the Bureau’s participation in statistical activities around the globe in a Commissioner’s Corner blog entry celebrating World Statistics Day 2020.
