How Are Recent Changes to Federal Statistical Data Affecting Your Work?
If you rely on federal statistical data in your work-from Census data to BLS employment figures to NCHS health statistics-SSRS wants to hear from you.
With support from the Knight Foundation, SSRS, ICPSR, and APDU are conducting a brief survey (less than 5 minutes) to understand how recent changes to federal statistical agencies have impacted professionals across sectors.
Why this matters: Recent disruptions at the 13 federal statistical agencies-including staff reductions and budget cuts-are creating potential gaps in the data infrastructure that researchers, policymakers, journalists, state administrators, and business leaders depend on daily.
Your responses will directly inform the development of the EMERGE Initiative (Emergency Mobilization for Essential Research and Government-Data Equivalents)-an effort to explore independent solutions for maintaining access to reliable, publicly accessible statistical data.
