Social indicators time series archive for the United States, 1946-1980

About this book

This study contains a thirty-five year time series of general social indicators. The file includes data on vital statistics, household characteristics, population, labor force and unemployment characteristics, income and economic indicators, health, education, time use, and leisure activity. Most of the data are reported on an annual basis extending from 1946 through 1979. Some of the series are based on a less frequent observation cycle (e.g. some education series), and some do not extend back to 1946 (e.g. some of the health data.)
