The United Nations General Assembly
designated Oct. 20, 2010, as the first-ever World Statistics Day to highlight
the importance of official statistics and the many achievements of national
statistical systems. Statistical organizations throughout the world will
celebrate World Statistics Day today at the national and regional level. The
Commerce Department’s U.S. Census Bureau, Bureau of Economic Analysis and 12 other principal federal statistical agencies together have been collecting statistics about the nation’s
people, economy and society since the first national census in 1790. Check out the
Census Bureau’s Facts for Features special edition on World Statistics
