Good site for unemployment data (cities or states)

Jan and Lucia found this source which might be of use if you are asked for the unemployment rate for states or cities. Link to the site:

Economy at a glance

The "at a glance" feature allows you to click on a state, or drill down to a census designated metro area (we are in Santa Cruz - Watsonville), to see labor force statistics including the unemployment rate. Data is monthly, for the preceding 6 months. June is in there right now.

Kerry's business resources guide

Many thanks to Jess for successfully moving Kerry's invaluable Business Resources guide into Drupal. You can access it here:

http://library.ucsc.edu/help/howto/business-resources

or from the list of "How to" guides.

Economist Intelligence Unit Profiles and Reports database

There is an additional step once you get into this database to be able to have access to country profiles, reports, profiles, etc. Click on "Enterprise Client Access" in the lower left part of the screen. That is the only way you get to the data. I have added this note to the database description in Drupal.
