International Collaboration Helps Us Transform To Build Our Nation?s 21st Century Data Infrastructure [ [link removed] ]

*Written by: Dr. Ron Jarmin, Deputy Director*

Good data ? comprehensive, timely and accurate ? are an essential part of the world we live in. And it doesn't matter where we live, "good" data are the key to tracking and improving the quality of life at the local, national and global scales. Good data help strengthen economies and build cities and are critical to the growth of both developed and developing countries. The organizations, methods, systems and legal frameworks employed to collect, process and disseminate statistical data products make up our data infrastructure. That infrastructure is just as critical for modern societies as is the physical infrastructure of roads, bridges, airports and so on.

The U.S. Census Bureau?s many contributions to this infrastructure serve countless different uses and users. Our data are used by governments (big and small) to decide where new roads will go, how much money school districts will receive, and how federal funds are distributed. Economic indicators produced by the Census Bureau [ [link removed] ], Bureau of Labor Statistics [ [link removed]. ], Bureau of Economic Analysis [ [link removed] ] and other federal statistical agencies provide critical data for policymakers to help monitor and improve the performance of the U.S. economy.
