Introduction
Datapedia of the United States: American History in
Numbers, Third Edition, is a comprehensive desk reference that continues and enhances Historical Statistics of
the United States from Colonial Times. Datapedia brings
together into one source a compendium of the most significant historical statistics of the United States from
1789 to 2003, as well as demographic and other select
data projections through 2050. Datapedia provides a
complete and convenient profile of the United States
covering all its vital sectorsincluding the labor market, social welfare, and national defense.

marized effectively. Of course, in the early part of many


series, the data are limited to the geographic area of the
original 13 coloniesi.e., the Atlantic seaboard.
In general, only absolute rather than derived data are
included because one-dimensional aggregates at gross
levels offer somewhat greater flexibility to the user.
Criteria for inclusion vary, but in most cases are based
on the quantity and quality of the data available and
the extent to which they enhance our understanding of
historical trends. Additionally, certain series are presented only for years in which a national census was held.

New to the Third Edition


History of Statistics
Datapedia retains the features of its previous edition,
but has been expanded to include 31 selected areas.
Expanded areas of coverage include statistics and
analyses on the following topics:

Prior to the first census of 1790, the collection of statistics was not considered as a primary function of the U.S.
government. The accuracy of the limited data that was
collected, however, was much higher, given that our
nation was significantly smallerliterally and figurativelycomparative to today. Although some of this
datafrom the early years of our republichave been
lost, much of the data have been gathered from fugitive
documents. Further, the quality of the statistical tables
spanning over two centuries is remarkably even.

As our country developed, the complexity of statistical


operations grew as well as the techniques for data collection and analysis. Data collection and analysis
became a routine function of the government as well as
independent researchers and scholars. Statistics began
to be viewed as not only a means to measure and analyze the current state of our society but also to predict
future trends, which is one of the intended uses of
Datapedia.

The historical context of the statistical data included in


this edition is emphasized by Datapedias new subtitle
American History in Numbers. The new subtitle further
links Datapedia to Historical Statistics and speaks to this
editions depth and scope of coverage.
Publication Features
Those familiar with Historical Statistics will find that
Datapedia is organized similarly, but presents the most
important of the time series data in a reader-friendly
format, balanced by highlights and graphics in each section. Datapedia includes approximately 280 data tables
that have been expertly selected, compiled, and analyzed. For the period of 1790 to 1970, the data is based
entirely on Historical Statistics. For the time period following, Datapedia is based on the annual Statistical
Abstract of the United States as well as other government data from several sources.

Projective statistics and number crunching, in general,


have been greatly facilitated by the introduction of
computers in the twentieth century. Although data
experts still are, and will continue to be, an integral part
of data gathering and interpretation, automated computer processes have provided us with raw and refined
data of exceptionally high quality. Technological
advancements have also resulted in increased access to
government statistics via the posting of a myriad of data
on many government Web sites.
Most, if not all, of the data organized in this edition is
publicly available online. However, the task of gathering
them from a number of sources within the government
and assembling them into a logical and understandable
format is impractical for most data users. Additionally,
even though current statistics are readily available,
obtaining historical time series data often is time-consuming and difficult. Definitions and other documentation can be inconvenient to find as well. Continuing the
tradition of Historical Statistics, Datapedia greatly sim-

As in Historical Statistics, Datapedia is arranged by


macro subjects in numbered chapters. However, the
chapter divisions are modified slightly from those in
Historical Statistics. The original series numbers have
been maintained, where applicable, in the Datapedia
table titles. Generally, only national data are shown.
Some exceptions are made where regional or state statistics are useful for the correct interpretation of data or
where national data in the subject field cannot be sumxv

DATAPEDIA OF THE UNITED STATES

plifies the task of researching and analyzing data from


an historical perspective; and, according to American
Reference Books Annual, presents a plethora of interesting and often hard-to-find data in a user-friendly format.
The data in this edition meet the publication standards
of the federal statistical agencies from which they were
obtained. Every effort has been made to select data that
are accurate, meaningful, and useful. All statistical data
are subject to error arising from sampling variability,
reporting errors, incomplete coverage, imputation, and
other causes. The responsibility of the editor and publisher of Datapedia is limited to reasonable care in the
reproduction and presentation of data obtained from
established sources.

Acknowledgements
Datapedia of the United States: American History in
Numbers, Third Edition, would not have been possible
without the foresight of founding and current editor
George Thomas Kurian. Recognizing that a compilation
of historical statistics was too valuable to be lost to the
public, Mr. Kurian first collaborated with Bernan Press
in 1994 in the publication of the first edition of
Datapedia and again in 2001 for the second edition. So,
first and foremost, thanks are due to Mr. Kurian for his
role in ensuring the continuity of the Datapedia series
and for his guidance in the production of the third edition.
Special thanks are also due to Katherine DeBrandt of
Bernan Press. In her role as senior data analyst,
Katherine directed the efforts of the Bernan Press
research team in updating Datapedia. The Bernan Press
team who tirelessly searched for and logically organized
often hard-to-find data consisted of data analyst Mary
Meghan Ryan and research editor Mark Siegal, as well
as Bernan Press County and City Extra Series editor
and data use expert Deirdre Gaquin. Additionally, economic consultant Gaston Gahou, who also worked on

the second edition of Datapedia, provided research support. The research teamwith overall oversight from
Mr. Kurianput forth a tremendous effort to bring you
authoritative data and expert analysis on the history of
America.
Finally, thanks also to the editorial and production
departments of Bernan Press, who did the copyediting,
layout, and graphics preparation. Jacalyn Houston edited the manuscript; Kara Prezocki prepared the layout
and graphics; and Christopher Jorgenson provided Kara
with production support. Jacalyn, Kara, and Christopher
capably handled all editorial and production aspects of
Datapedia.

When the United States became a republic, its
boundaries were unclear. Its territorial claims were
based on several treaties that were subject to interpretation. The boundaries themselves were poorly marked
and expanded or receded depending on the status of
the Indian Wars. From 1781 to 1867, the federal government acquired millions of acres of public domain. From
1781 to 1902, 7 of the original 13 states relinquished
their claims to the so-called Western lands to the federal government. In 1788, the state of Maryland ceded
the present area of the District of Columbia. Between
1810 and 1867, title to the remaining area west of the
Mississippi River (except the state of Texas) and to
Florida passed to the federal government. The annual
report to the General Land Office in 1850 contained

the first reference to the areas of the states and territories, although the methods used to obtain the measurements was not indicated. In 1881, the Bureau of the
Census initiated the first effort to obtain an accurate
and detailed area measurement of the United States.
This was revised in 1940 in Areas of the United States
and presented land and water areas, as well as state,
municipal and county boundaries. Differences in land
area figures over time reflect improvements in cartography that made possible a more accurate determination
of the outer limits as well as inclusion or exclusion of
certain bodies of water. For the 2000 census, area measurements were calculated by computer based on the
information contained in a single database, the TIGER
(Topologically Integrated Geographic Encoding and

SECTION 1: LAND, WATER, AND CLIMATE


Referencing) File. As result, the number of inland water
areas increased when coverage was extended to inland
bodies of water of at least 40 acres and streams with a
width of at least one-eighth of a statute mile. An inventory of the nations land resources by type of use/cover
was conducted by the Soil Conservation Service from
1982 to 1987, and its results were published in 1987 in
the National Inventory of Land Resources.

The state with the largest land area and largest


water area is Alaska. Alaskas water area of 91,316
square miles is larger than the land area of all but 11
states.

The highest point in the United States is Mount


McKinley in Alaska at 20,320 feet (6,198 meters). The
lowest point is Death Valley in California at -282 feet
(-86 meters).

The five Great LakesMichigan, Superior, Huron,


Erie, and Ontario (including only those portions under
the jurisdiction of the United States)account for
60,178 square miles of water areas. The largest inland
lakes outside the Great Lakes are Great Salt Lake
(1,836 square miles) and Green Bay (1,396 square
miles).

The Mississippi, Americas longest river, is 2,340


miles long. It has an average discharge at its mouth of
593,000 cubic feet per second and a drainage area of
1,150,000 square miles. There are nine other rivers
longer than 1,000 miles: Missouri (2,540 miles), Yukon
(1,980 miles), St. Lawrence (1,900 miles), Arkansas
(1,460 miles), Atchafalaya (1,420 miles), Ohio (1,310
miles), Red (1,290 miles), Columbia (1,240 miles), and
Snake (1,040 miles).

Of the 2,271,343,000 acres of land in the United


States, 674,267,000 acres or 29.7 percent is federal land.
The percentage of federal land is highest in Nevada
(91.7 percent), Alaska (67.7 percent), Utah (66.5 percent), Idaho (65.0 percent), and Wyoming (50.6 percent). It is lowest in Connecticut (0.5 percent), Maine
and Rhode Island (0.8 percent each), Iowa (0.9 percent), New York and Kansas (1.1 percent each), Ohio
(1.1 percent), Texas (1.9 percent).

7 In 1995, total water withdrawal (all water withdrawn


from natural reservoirs, lakes, rivers, and so on for
human consumption and industrial use) per day in the
United States was 401.5 billion gallons, or 1,280 gallons
per capita. The largest water use was for electric utilities
(190 billion gallons per day), followed by irrigation (134

billion gallons per day), public supply (43 billion gallons


per day), and industrial use (26 billion gallons per day).
Of total water withdrawals, 18.7 percent is ground water
and 81.3 percent surface water.

In 2000, 8,354 oil spills were reported, 1,838 in the


Gulf of Mexico, 623 in the Pacific Ocean, 150 in the
Atlantic Ocean, 96 in the Great Lakes, and 1,816 in
rivers and canals.

The principal agency for environmental monitoring
in the United States is the Council on Environmental
Quality (CEQ), and the principal agency for pollution
abatement and control activities is the Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA). CEQ reports data on environmental conditions in its annual Environmental
Quality. The National Ambient Air Quality Standards
(NAAQS) are set by the EPA for particulate matter,
sulfur dioxide, petrochemical oxidants (now called
ozone), carbon monoxide, and nitrogen dioxide.
Environmental quality has steadily improved in the
United States since the 1970s. In 2001, sulfur dioxide
decreased to 15,790,000 tons from 31,161,000 tons in
1970; volatile organic compounds to 17,963,000 tons
from 30,982,000 tons; carbon monoxide to 120,759,000
tons from 129,994,000 tons, lead to 2,627,000 tons (in
1996) from 220,869,000 tons; and particulate matter
(PM-10) to 9,442,000 tons from 13,042,000 tons. Only
nitrogen dioxide increased, rising from 20,928,000 tons
in 1970 to 22,349,000 tons in 2001.

Between 1980 and 1995, there were 252 violations nationwide of fecal coliform bacteria count in
rivers and streams, and 21 violations relating to levels of
dissolved oxygen below 5 milligrams in water. The number is indicative of the amount of sewage contained in
drinking water.

11
In 2001, 229.2 million tons of waste were generated nationwide, or 4.4 pounds per capita per day. Of
these, 68 million tons were recycled and recovered.
Paper and paperboard accounted for 35.7 of recycled
and recovered materials. The Northeast leads in curbside recycling programs, serving 83 percent of the population. The percentage of population served through
recycling programs is lowest in the South at 35 percent.

12

In 2002, there were 1,291 hazardous waste sites


in the United States, of which New Jersey had the most
at 115 sites, followed by California (98), Pennsylvania
(96), and New York (91).

In 2003, the United States had 599 species of


endangered (those in immediate danger of becoming
extinct) plants, 65 species of endangered mammals, 78
species of endangered birds, and 14 species of endangered reptiles. On the threatened species list (those
likely to become endangered in the foreseeable future),
there were 9 species of mammals, 14 species of birds, 22
species of reptiles, and 147 species of plants.

14
The number of tornadoes and storms have
increased in the past 20 years. In 1997, there were 1,148
tornadoes (compared with 656 in 1987 and 701 in 1988)
and 117 flash floods (compared with 70 in 1987). The
number of North Atlantic tropical storms and hurricanes varied widely over the years. Between 1987 and

1997, there were 113 tropical storms and hurricanes in


the Atlantic coastal states.

15
The lowest temperature on record in the United
States was -44F in Bismarck, North Dakota. The city
with the most precipitation is Mobile, Alabama, with
66.29 inches, but Juneau has the most rainy days224
in a year. Sault Ste Marie (Michigan) holds the record
for the highest average annual snowfall: 117.4 inches.

The Census of the United States was authorized by


an Act of Congress, dated March 1, 1790, providing for
the enumeration of the United States. The first census
cost $44,377 and utilized the services of 17 marshals and
650 assistants. It counted a population of 3,939,326 in 16
states and the Ohio Territory. Virginia was the most
populous state with 746,610 inhabitants, and Rhode
Island the least with 68,825 inhabitants. New York City
had a population of 33,131, Philadelphia 28,522, and
Boston 18,320.

SECTION 2: POPULATION

Until 1830, people who were deaf, mute, and blind


were excluded from the census.

The fifth census in 1830 was the first in which the


population of the United States exceeded 10 million;
the first census in which the count exceeded 100 million
was that of 1920; and the first in which the count
exceeded 200 million was that of 1970.

The 1890 census was the first to utilize enumerating machines.

The first states to exceed one million in population


were New York, Virginia, and Pennsylvania in 1820. The
first state to exceed five million in population was New
York in 1880. New York was also the first state to
exceed 10 million, in 1920. California became the first
state to exceed 20 million, in 1980, and 30 million, in
2000.

New York City was the first city to exceed one million in population (exceeding Brooklyn, which was then
an independent city) in 1880. In 2000, nine cities
exceeded one million in population

Census counts are subject to a margin of error,


which has been measured since 1940. Estimated
between 1.2 percent and 5.4 percent, the errors generally result from an undercount of certain segments of
population.

Data on urban population were first published in


1870. Urban centers were defined as locations with a
population of 8,000 or more. In 1880 and 1890, that figure was reduced to 4,000, and in 1900, to 2,500. This definition, with minor modifications, was accepted in later
censuses up to and including 1940. In 1950, the Census
Bureau adopted the concept of the urbanized area and
delineated boundaries for unincorporated places. The
urban population was defined as all persons living in
urbanized areas and, outside these areas, in all places
incorporated or unincorporated, which had 2,500 inhabitants or more. This definition has remained substantially unchanged in subsequent censuses. Minor modifications of this definition are employed in some states. For
the 2000 Census, a population density threshold was
added.

10
Rural population is subdivided into two categories: rural farm and rural nonfarm. The definition of
rural farm is based on the size of the farm and the cash
value of the farm produce.

15

11
The first attempt to define metropolitan population was made in the 1910 census. Metropolitan districts
were defined for cities of 200,000 or more. Each metropolitan district included contiguous minor civil divisions
that met certain rules of proximity and population density. In 1950, metropolitan districts were replaced by
Standard Metropolitan Areas (SMAs), and the name
and definitions were revised each decade through the
twentieth century. Metropolitan Areas were defined in
terms of entire counties, except in New England where
the definitions were in terms of cities or towns. In general, an urbanized area is defined as a city (or twin
cities) of 50,000 or more and the surrounding closely
settled areas. From time to time, new metropolitan
areas were created and boundaries of others changed.
As a result, data over time may not be comparable. In
2003, a new set of standards was developed to define
Core Based Statistical Areas, which include
Metropolitan Statistical Areas and Micropolitan
Statistical Areas, smaller areas including cities with
cohesive groups of counties. The new system is defined
in terms of entire counties, even in the New England
states.

12
The classification by race in censuses reflects
common usage rather than strict biological stock. The
data are obtained primarily through self-classification.
The standard racial categories are White, Black, Native
American, Asian and Pacific Islander, and Hispanic
(who may be Black or White). The 1990 census was the
first to include an other race category that provided
for a write-in entry. The census of 1860 was the first in
which Native Americans were distinguished from other
ethnic groups; however, it excluded those Native
Americans living on reservations. The 2000 census was
the first that permitted individuals to specify more than
one race, resulting in specific data for multi-racial persons.

13
Americans resident outside the United States
numbered 6.269 million in 1990. The countries with the
largest number of resident U.S. civilians were Mexico
(495,000), Canada (278,000), the United Kingdom
(213,000), France (126,000), Israel (124,000), Germany
(107,000), the Philippines (109,000), Italy (102,000), the
Dominican Republic (87,000), and Australia (65,000).

14
The population of the United States doubled
five times between the first decennial census of 1790
and the seventeenth census in 1950. The first three doublings took 25 years each through 1865. The fourth
required 35 years from 1865 to 1900. The fifth doubling
took half a century, to 1950. A sixth doubling is projected to occur by about 2010, 60 years since the last doubling.

16

DATAPEDIA OF THE UNITED STATES

15
Between 1790 and 1860, the annual increase of
population exceeded 3 percent, with the highest being
3.6 percent from 1800 to 1810, and again in the 1840s
and the 1850s. In the remaining four decades of the
nineteenth century and the first decade of the twentieth
century, the rate of growth ranged from 2.7 percent to
2.1 percent. The growth rate slumped to 1.5 percent
between 1910 and 1920, rose to 1.6 percent in the following decade, and then plummeted to 0.7 percent during the Depression in the 1930s. It rebounded to 1.9
percent in the 1950s (known as the Baby Boom) and
was followed by a rate of 1.3 percent in the 1960s as the
Boom ended. In the 1970s (the Baby Bust), the growth
rate fell to 1.1 percent and remained at 1.0 percent
through the 1980s. During the 1990s, the growth rate
jumped back to 1.3 percent, but the first few years of
the twenty-first century have seen a return to a slower
growth of 1.1 percent.

16
The highest decennial jump in population was
36.4 percent reported in the third census in 1810, followed by 35.9 percent in 1850, 35.6 percent in 1860, and
35.1 percent in 1800. The lowest was 7.3 percent reported in 1940, followed by 9.8 percent in 1990, and 11.4
percent in 1980.

17
The United States had more males than females
until the end of World War II in 1945. Since then the sex
ratio has been in favor of females. However, more male
children are born so that males are in the majority until
age 34.

18
Urbanized areas and urban clusters (two definitions of urban areas) accounted for 79 percent of the
population and 77.6 percent of the housing units, but
only 2.6 percent of the land area in 2000. The West had
the most urban population with 88.6 percent of its population living in urban areas, followed by the Northeast
(84.4 percent), the Midwest (74.7 percent), and the
South (72.8 percent). The most urban states were
California and New Jersey, with 94.4 percent, Nevada
(91.5 percent), Hawaii (91.5 percent) Massachusetts
(91.4 percent), Rhode Island (90.0 percent), Florida
(89.3 percent), Utah (88.2 percent), Arizona (88.2 percent), and Illinois (87.8 percent). The least urban state
was Vermont with 38.2 percent, followed by Maine (40.2
percent), and West Virginia (46.1 percent).

19
In 1790, the percentage of the urban population
was 5.4 percent. In 2000, it was 79 percent.
20
In 2002, 151.8 million people (53 percent of the
U.S. population) lived in coastal counties, a loss of 1
percent compared with 1970. Twenty-three percent lived
on the Atlantic coast, 6 percent on the Gulf of Mexico,

10 percent on the Great Lakes, and 14 percent on the


Pacific Coast.

21
In the first census in 1790, the density of population was only 4.5 per square mile of land area. It
reached 10.6 in 1860, 17.8 in 1890, 26 in 1910, 34.7 in
1930, 42.6 in 1950, 64 in 1980, 70.3 in 1990, and 79.6 in
2000. The state with the greatest density of population
was New Jersey with 1,134.4, followed by Rhode Island
with 1,003.2. The state with the least density of population was Alaska with 1.1.

22
Blacks or African Americans alone comprised
12.3 percent of the population in 2000, compared with
15.7 percent in 1850. Nearly 55 percent of Blacks lived
in the South, 18.8 percent in the Midwest, 17.6 percent
in the Northeast, and 8.9 percent in the West.

23
Hispanics and Asians have a net growth at a
rate of 3.6 and 3.4 percent respectively, compared with
0.7 percent for Whites and 1.3 percent for Blacks.

24
Nevada has the fastest growing population, with
a phenomenal growth rate of 8.8 percent from 2000 to
2002. Western states generally experienced greater population growths led by Arizona (6.4 percent), Colorado
(4.8 percent), Utah (3.7 percent), Idaho (3.6 percent),
and Washington (3.0 percent). Only two states lost population during this periodNorth Dakota by 1.3 percent and West Virginia by 0.4 percent. California, which
ranked first in population in 1980, retained its rank in
2002, Texas was ranked second and New York third.

25
From 2000 to 2002, New York lost 372,929 of its
residents through internal migration, California lost
167,775, and Illinois 166,301. The greatest gains through
internal migration were registered in Florida (356,408),
Arizona (137,342), and Georgia (104,861).

26
The growth rate for Whites from 2000 to 2002
was 0.6 percent compared with 1.3 percent for Blacks,
1.4 percent for Native Americans, 3.5 percent for
Asians, and 2.9 percent for Hispanics.

27
From 2000 to 2001, 14 percent of the population
was mobile. This means that people moved from their
original house to a different house. Of these, 6 percent
moved to a different county, and 3 percent moved to a
different state. Poorer people tend to move more often
than wealthier people. Twenty-one percent of those with
a household income of less than $5,000 moved, as compared with 10 percent of those with an income of more
than $75,000.

SECTION 2: POPULATION

17

28
Significant disparities exist in the regional distribution of races. While Whites are distributed fairly

33
In 2000, five tribes accounted for 36.9 percent of
the 4.119 million American Indian and Alaska Natives

equally over the four main regions (Northeast, Midwest,


South, and West), 54.8 percent of Blacks are concentrated in the South and only 9.1 percent in the West. Nearly
47.6 percent of Native Americans are found in the West
and only 6.4 percent in the Northeast. Asians and
Hispanics also are more numerous in the West, with
55.7 percent and 45.2 percent, respectively. One-third of
all Hispanics live in California and another one-sixth in
Texas. New York has the largest Black or African
American population (3.409 million), followed by Texas
(2.528 million), Florida (2.634 million), Georgia (2.463
million), and California (2.436 million).

alone or in combination: Cherokee (17.7 percent),


Navajo (7.2 percent), Latin American Indian (4.4 percent), Choctaw (3.9 percent), and Sioux (3.7 percent).
Of American Indians and Alaska Natives alone, 25.7
percent live below the poverty level.

29
The number of senior citizens in the United
States is projected to grow from 36.696 million in 2005
to 40.244 million in 2010. Those from 45 to 64 years of
age will grow in number from 72.8 million to 81 million,
while those from 18 to 44 years of age will increase
slightly from 112 million to 113 million during the same
period. In 2002, there were 4.593 million senior citizens
over the age of 85.

DATAPEDIA OF THE UNITED STATES

SECTION 3

MIGRATION
Highlights

The continuous record of immigration into the


United States began with the Act of 1819. This act
required the captain or master of a vessel arriving at a
U.S. port to deliver to the local collector of customs a
list or manifest of all passengers taken on board, designating the age, sex, nationality, and occupation of each
passenger, as well as the number of passengers who
died during the passage. Copies of the manifests were
transmitted to the Secretary of State, who reported the
information periodically to Congress. Although the
reporting of alien arrivals was also required by the Act
of 1798 (which expired in 1817), the number of arrivals
prior to 1819 is not known. William J. Bromwell, author
of History of Immigration to the United States, estimates
the number of foreign arrivals between the close of the
Revolutionary War and 1819 at 250,000. Immigration
statistics were compiled by the Department of State
from 1820 to 1870, by the Treasury Departments
Bureau of Statistics from 1867 to 1895, and since 1892
by the Office or Bureau of Immigration (later the
Immigration and Naturalization Service). Annual
reports have presented the data on immigration statistics since 1892, with the exception of 1942, when no
report was issued because of wartime conditions. Since
1820, reporting on immigration data has undergone
many changes. Only arrivals by vessels at Atlantic and
Gulf ports were included until 1850, when Pacific ports
were added. During the Civil War, Southern ports under
Confederate control were excluded. Later, the reporting
area was expanded to include outlying possessions:
Alaska from 1871 (although irregularly until 1904);
Hawaii from 1901; Puerto Rico from 1902; and the
Virgin Islands from 1942. The government did not
require arrivals at land borders to be counted until
1904, when land border stations were established. By
1908, such arrivals were fully incorporated into the
annual totals. In any case, until the first decade of the
twentieth century, there were few Canadian or Mexican
immigrants in the United States.

Since 1933, aliens arriving in the United States


have been classified as immigrants or non-immigrants.
Immigrants are nonresident aliens admitted to the
United States for permanent residence. Until July 1,
1968, they were further classified into quota and non

quota immigrants. The former were subject to the established quotas of Eastern Hemisphere countries, while
nonquota immigrants included natives of the Western
Hemisphere and certain groups of special immigrants
(classes of immigrants admitted to the United States for
political reasons). Since July 1, 1968, this distinction has
been abolished in favor of numerical ceilings for regions
and countries, but the category of special immigrants
has been retained. The collection of data on emigrants
has been suspended since 1957. Net immigration data
suffer from lack of reliable emigration figures, as well as
conflicts in the enumeration of nonimmigrant arrivals.

3
From 1925 to 1929, the annual immigration quota
of 164,667 was based on 2 percent of foreign-born residents of the United States as determined by the 1890
census. The national origin formula provided that the
annual quota equal one-sixth of 1 percent of the number of White inhabitants of the continental United
States in 1920, less Western Hemisphere immigrants and
their descendants. The annual quota for each nationality
was then determined by the same ratio to 150,000 as the
number of inhabitants living in the continental United
States in 1920 to the total inhabitants (with a minimum
of 100). The Act of 1965 replaced the quota system with
an annual numerical limitation of 170,000 on the
Eastern Hemisphere and 120,000 on the Western
Hemisphere, with a ceiling of 20,000 for each country of
origin.

Before 1882, various state laws excluded certain


aliens from admission, such as paupers, felons, and the
diseased. The first Chinese Exclusion Law, passed in
1882, also excluded lunatics, idiots, and those likely to
become public charges. Nine years later, Congress
passed a much broader exclusion law in the Act of 1891.
Statistics on excluded aliens were first compiled in 1892.
Subsequent acts, principally those of 1917 and 1952,
extended the excluded categories to anarchists, criminals, drug traffickers, subversives, and mental and physical defectives. However, landed immigrants enjoy all the
judicial protection of citizens and may appeal deportation and expulsion orders.

Year

Since the first naturalization statute of 1790, there


have been three requirements for immigrants seeking
U.S. citizenship: (1) residence in the United States for
five years; (2) a good moral character; and (3) an oath
to support the Constitution. The residence requirement
is only three years for a spouse of a U.S. citizen. Before
1906, individual courts kept naturalization records, but
no national data were compiled. Since 1906, all courts
have been required to file petitions and certificates of
naturalization with the Bureau of Immigration and
Naturalization.

While most European countries were represented
in the immigration totals in the early nineteenth century, the first immigrant from Korea arrived only in 1948,
from the Philippines in 1936, from Australia in 1870,
and from Japan in 1861.

The annual number of legal immigrants exceeded


one million in 10 years: 1905, 1906, 1907, 1910, 1913,
1914, 1989, 1990, 1991 and 2001. There is no official
count of illegal immigrants. The number of illegal immigrants in the United States is estimated at 7 million.
Mexicans make up more than half of this total.

The Refugee Act of 1980 provides for the admission of refugees and asylum seekers based on United
Nations guidelines. Authorized admission ceilings are
set annually by the president of the United States in
consultation with Congress. After one year of residence,
refugees are eligible for immigrant status. Beginning in
1966, Cubans admitted or paroled (admitted without
immigration visa) into the United States after 1959 and
present in the United States for at least two years could
obtain permanent resident status. The Refugee Act of
1980 reduced the residency requirement to one year. In
addition, the 125,000 Cuban immigrants admitted to the
United States as part of the Muriel boatlift were eligible
to become immigrants. Since 1977, refugees from
Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia have been eligible to
apply for permanent resident status after living for at
least two years (later reduced to one year) in the
United States. Other refugee streams have been permitted into the United States under the Refugee Relief Act
of 1958 and the Refugees-Escapees-Parolees Act of
1960. A total of 1,013,620 refugees-asylees were admitted in the 1980s and 1,021,266 between 1991 and 2000.

Vital statistics on the four key life eventsbirths,
deaths, marriages, and divorcesare compiled by the
National Center for Health Statistics, successor to the
Office of Vital Statistics. From 1900 to 1946, the collection of these data was the responsibility of the Census
Bureau.

2
Vital statistics are compiled on the basis of records
received from the registration offices of all states, certain cities, and the District of Columbia. Reporting of
these events is mandatory in many localities. The annual
Vital Statistics of the United States summarizes these
data, presenting final figures and an annual life table. A
life table (also known as a mortality table) is an actuarial table and contains data on life expectancy and death.

The annual collection of mortality statistics began


in 1900 and the collection of birth statistics in 1915.
Since 1933, the entire United States has been included
in birth- and death-registration areas. Alaska was added
in 1959 and Hawaii in 1960. National statistics on fetal
deaths have been compiled since 1922.

Birth statistics are based either on complete counts


for states participating in the Vital Statistics
Cooperative Program or on 50 percent samples.
Mortality statistics are compiled in accordance with the
World Health Organization (WHO) regulations based
on the International Statistical Classification of Diseases,
Injuries and Causes of Death. The degree of accuracy of
birth data is believed to be more than 99.1 percent.
While death data may be nearly as complete as birth

SECTION 4: BIRTHS AND DEATHS


data, underreporting may be a problem in isolated
areas. The reporting of fetal deaths is likely to be even
less complete.

Data on illegitimate births are based on estimates.


In the 1930s, all states had a queried legitimacy or illegitimacy on birth certificates. This query was removed
during the 1940s on grounds of confidentiality. As a
result, the data suffer from potential misreporting. The
term illegitimate was discarded and replaced by
Births to Unmarried Women in the 1990 census.

Overall, the vital statistics rates per 1,000 has


dropped precipitously in the United States, and in all
developed countries, since 1950. In the United States,
the birth rate decreased from 24.1 to 14.1, the death
rate from 9.6 to 8.5, the infant mortality rate from 29.2
to 6.8.

The difference in birth rates per 1,000 between


White and Black women has narrowed since 1980. The
relative rates in 1980 were 15.1 for Whites and 21.3 for
Blacks, whereas the corresponding rates in 2001 were
13.7 and 16.3. This decrease is the result of a concomitant trend in fertility rates that dropped from 65.6 for
Whites and 84.7 for Blacks in 1980 to 65.0 for Whites
and 67.6 for Blacks in 2001.

There were fewer teenage mothers in 2001 than in


1980. Overall teenage births declined from 521,826 in
1980 to 445,944 in 2001. Of these births, 24.9 percent
were to Black teenagers.

9 Utah has the highest birth rate of all states at 21.8,


with a correspondingly high fertility rate of 95.0. Other
states with high birth rates are Texas (17.6), Arizona
(17.1), Georgia (16.5), and Nevada (16.1).

10
The total fertility rate declined from an average
of 3,449 (3,326 for Whites and 4,326 for Blacks) in
19601964 to 2,115 in 2001 (2,110 for Whites and 2,124
for Blacks). For Whites, this rate represents a rebound
from 1976 when the fertility rate bottomed out at 1,738.

11
The percentage of children with low birth
weights, defined as below 5 lbs. 8 oz., has increased from

63

6.8 percent in 1980 to 7.7 percent in 2001. A larger percentage of children born to teenage mothers and
unmarried mothers have a lower birth weight (11.3 percent and 33.5 percent respectively).

12
The number of caesarean deliveries rose steadily from 195,000 in 1970 to 978,000 in 2001. These deliveries are most common among women 35 years of age
and older.

13
The number of abortions in the United States
increased from 586,000 in 1972 (around the time of Roe
v. Wade), to 1,315,000 in 1999, although this figure represents a drop from the peak of 1,609,000 in 1990. Per
1,000 women (15 to 44 years of age), there were 21.4
abortions in 1999, compared with 29.4 in 1980.

14
In 1995, 21.4 million women used contraceptives. Of these women, 39.7 percent used nonsurgical
means, such as the pill or condoms.

15
Although Americans can expect to live 28.1
years longer than their ancestors did in 1900, the United
States trails a number of other developed countries,
including Japan, Sweden, Switzerland, Norway, Canada,
France, Netherlands, Australia, Italy, and Greece in
longevity. In 2001, the life expectancy of men was 74.4
years and women 79.8 years, with an average of 77.2
years. Life expectancy for Blacks is five years less than
that of Whites: 68.3 for men and 75.5 for women, with
an average of 72.2.

16
In the United States, 276 persons die every
hour, or about 4.6 persons every minute. The death rate
is fairly uniform in all states and regions, around 8.5 per
1,000 population, but is lowest in Alaska at 4.7.

17
In a key area of vital statistics, the United States
registered significant gains. Between 1980 and 2001, the
infant mortality rate dropped from 12.6 to 6.8 and
neonatal deaths from 8.5 to 4.5, both per 1,000 live
births. However, the gap between Whites and Blacks
continues to persist. Blacks have an infant mortality
rate of 14.0 per 1,000 live births compared with 5.7 for
Whites.

Year

Since 1944, marriage and divorce statistics have


been available on a uniform basis (i.e., the data are tabulated under standardized headings for all units). A
census block for the collection of data on marriage registration was established in 1957 and for divorce registration in 1958.

The divorce rate in 1950 was 2.6 per 1,000 population. The rate climbed to 5.3 in 1981, before leveling off.
In 2001, the divorce rate had dropped slightly to 4.0 per
1,000 people.

The median age at marriage rose for females from


20.6 in 1970 to 24.0 in 1990 and for males from 22.5 to
25.9 in the same period.

The median duration of marriage for divorced couples was 7.2 years in 1990. More divorced men and widowers remarry than divorced women and widows. Per
1,000 persons aged 15 and older, 76.2 divorcees and 5.2
widows remarry compared with 105.9 for divorced men
and 23.8 widowers.

The federal government has provided hospital and


medical care directly to specified groups of beneficiaries
since 1798 when President Andrew Johnson signed into
law the Act for the Relief of Sick and Disabled Seamen.
Since that time, federally sponsored and financed medical care has been expanded to include such groups as
Native Americans, Alaskan natives, veterans, narcotics
addicts, and owners of commercial fishing boats. State,
local, and county governments also provide hospital and
medical care for their residents.

Beginning in 1966, the Medicaid Program which was


enacted as Title XIX of the Social Security Act, enabled

states to provide a single health program for the indigent with federal financial participation. Medicaid
offers five basic services: inpatient hospital care; outpatient hospital services; laboratory and X-ray services;
nursing home services; and physicians services. In addition, states may offer other services, such as prescription
plans or dental care, for which they receive matching
federal funds.

Federal health insurance for the aged (Medicare)


became effective July 1, 1966, providing hospital and
medical protection to an enrolled population aged 65
and over. It includes Part A (hospital program) and Part

SECTION 6: HEALTH
B (a supplementary program covering physicians services, outpatient hospital services, therapy, tests, ambulance services, and certain medical supplies). The Part A
program is financed on a self-supporting basis through a
federal tax, the proceeds of which are placed in a trust
fund. Part B is financed through monthly premium payments paid by enrollees and matched by the federal
government.

The first medical school in the United States, the


College of Philadelphia Department of Medicine (now
the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine) was
founded in 1765. The number of medical schools
increased to three by 1800, 52 in 1850, and 162 in 1906.
From 1906 to 1929, the number declined sharply
because of tougher accreditation procedures by the
American Medical Associations Council on Medical
Education.

5 The first dental school, Baltimore College of Dental


Surgery, was founded in 1840. Before that date physi-

85

report certain diseases to health officers or boards of


health. Over the next three decades all states made similar requirements. In 1871, the federal government
passed a law providing for the collection of such statistics. By 1912, the data were supplied by 19 states and
the District of Columbia on diphtheria, measles,
poliomyelitis, scarlet fever, tuberculosis, typhoid, and
smallpox. None of these is now considered an important
threat to public health. General statistics on health are
collected and published by the National Center for
Health Statistics in its National Health Interview Survey
and National Health and Nutrition Examination
Surveys. Data on diseases are compiled by the Public
Health Service through its Centers for Disease Control
in Atlanta and published in Morbidity and Mortality
Report.

11
In 2001, 31.3 million Americans were enrolled in
the Medicaid program. Of these, 13.3 million live below
the poverty level.

12

cians also practiced dentistry. From 1840 to 1880, dental


practitioners learned their trade as apprentices, and it
was not until 1880 that most states enacted laws requiring graduation from an accredited dental school.

$29.2 billion was spent on medical research in


the United States in 2001, compared with $2 million in
1970.

6 Nursing education began in 1873 with the opening


of three schools and by 1893, 70 were in operation. By

In 2001, 14.6 percent of the population, or 41.2


million people, carried no medical insurance coverage
of any kind and had no safety net. Texas leads the country with 23.5 percent of its residents lacking health coverage, followed by New Mexico (20.7 percent) and
California (19 percent).

1923, all states had licensing bodies for the nursing profession.

The first physician in the American Colonies was


Dr. Lawrence Bohune, physician of the London
Company, who arrived in Virginia in 1610. The first
physician in New England was Dr. Samuel Fuller, one
of the signers of the Compact on board the Mayflower
on November 21, 1620. The first American medical
graduate was Dr. John Archer, who graduated with nine
others from the University of Pennsylvania in 1768.

The first American dentist was Josiah Flagg, who, at


the age of 18, began practicing dentistry in Boston in
1782.

The first trained nurse in the United States was


Linda Ann Judson Richards, who graduated from the
training school of the New England Hospital for
Women and Children in 1873.

10 Disease notification began in the Colonial period


on a local basis, particularly in the port cities. It was limited to epidemics of pestilential diseases. Statewide notification was not required until 1883, when Michigan
passed a law under which physicians were asked to

There were 500 health maintenance organizations (HMOs) in the United States in 2002, compared
with 235 in 1980. An HMO is a prepaid health plan
offering comprehensive care to members through designated providers, with a fixed periodic payment for
healthcare services and a requirement that members be
in a plan for a specified period of time. A Group HMO
delivers health services through a physician group that
is controlled by the HMO or that contracts with one or
more independent group practices for the same purpose. An Individual Practice Association (IPA) HMO
contracts directly with physicians, associations of independent physicians, or multispecialty group practices.
The total enrollment of these HMOs reached 76.1 million in 2001, compared with 33 million in 1990.

15
The number of professionally active physicians in
the United States in 2001 was 836,200, of which 189,400
were foreign medical graduates, 556,600 were males,
195,100 were females, 514,000 were in an office-based
practice, 138,300 were in a hospital-based practice, and
20,000 were in federal service. The number of registered
active nurses in 2000 was 2.2 million, or 495 per 100,000.

and older.

17
The mean net income of physicians has grown
from $5,224 in 1929 to $12,324 in 1950, $97,000 in 1982,
$155,800 in 1989, and $205,700 in 2001. Surgeons report
the highest income, earning an average of $274,700
annually, while pediatricians were among the lowest
with an average annual income at $137,800. Physicians
carry a large malpractice insurance premium load,
which, in the case of obstetricians and gynecologists
averages $39,200 a year.

18

In 2001, there were 5,801 hospitals in the United


States (down from 6,965 in 1980), of which only 3,084
had 100 beds or more. Of the total, community hospitals
numbered 4,908, for-profits 754, psychiatric hospitals
401, and federal hospitals 243. Hospital beds numbered
1.035 million, or 3.9 per 1,000 persons. Of these beds,
only 658,000 are in use on any given day.

19
The average length of stay in a hospital in 2001 is
5.7 days, down from 15.3 days in 1931, 10.1 days in 1953,
and 7 7 days in 1980. Because of pressure from HMOs,
patients are allowed to remain in hospital care for fewer
days than before. For the same reason, more cases are
treated on an outpatient or ambulatory basis.

20
The average cost per day of a hospital stay rose
from $5.21 in 1946 to $10.67 in 1954, $21.00 in 1963,
$45.01 in 1969, $53.95 in 1970, $134 in 1975, $245 in
1980, $460 in 1985, $687 in 1990, and $1,127 in 2001.

21

Organ transplants and grafts have become relatively common since the 1970s. In 2002, there were
2,153 heart transplants, 5,326 liver transplants, 14,741
kidney transplants, 1,042 lung transplants, 46,625 cornea
grafts.

23
The number of abortions in the United States
increased from 586,000 in 1972 (around the time of Roe
v. Wade), to 1,315,000 in 1999, although this figure represents a drop from the peak of 1,609,000 in 1990. There
were 21.4 abortions per 1,000 women (15 to 44 years of
age) in 1999, compared with 29.4 in 1980. Nearly 45.8
percent of all pregnancies to Black women end in abortion, compared with 15.2 percent for Whites.

24

In 1999, there were 18, 000 nursing homes (down


from 19,100 in 1985), with 1,965,000 beds. Twelve thousand of these nursing homes are owned by proprietary
for-profit corporations.

25

In 1998, there were 3, 729 mental health facilities,


of which 1,038 were mental hospitals. These facilities
have 267, 700 inpatient beds.

The techniques for measuring labor force (or work


force) data were developed during the late 1930s by the
Works Projects Administration (WPA). For every week
containing the 12th day of the month, the Bureau of the
Census collects data for the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
This dataset is part of the former Current Population
Survey and is based on a scientifically designed sample
of households. The survey includes all employed and
unemployed persons as well as self-employed persons,
unpaid family workers and domestic servants, and others who do not ordinarily appear on the payrolls of any
establishment. Labor force data are also collected in the
decennial censuses.

The concepts of employment, unemployment, and


labor have changed over the years. By current definitions, employed persons are those who work as paid
employees or in their own businesses or professions, or
on their farm or who work 15 hours or more as unpaid
workers in a family enterprise. It also includes those
who are temporarily absent from work or business
because of illness, vacation, bad weather, labor/management dispute or personal reasons. Volunteer workers
are excluded. Unemployed persons are those who do
not work during the survey week, but who make efforts
to secure a job and are available for work. The civilian
labor force (persons 14 years and over until 1966 and
over 16 years thereafter) is the sum of the employed
and the unemployed. Data on the size of the armed

SECTION 8: LABOR

forces is obtained from the Department of Defense and


added to the civilian labor force to obtain the Total
Labor Force. For years prior to 1940 (when detailed
labor force data became available for the whole
nation), the data are based on Stanley Legerbotts
Manpower in Economic Growth: The American Record
Since 1800. Legerbott obtained his data by interpolating
between detailed worker rates in the census years and
applying the resultant series to unpublished census estimates of population. The gainful worker concept differs
from other concepts in that its primary purpose is a
count of occupations and occupational status rather
than employment. It excludes students as well as
women doing housework, but includes retired people
who report their former line of work.

The most sensitive labor force data relate to unemployment. Because they are based on reports of unemployment insurance claims, they rates may be generally
lower than actual unemployment. They exclude those
long-term unemployed who have become discouraged
and opted out of the employment market. In earlier
years, unemployment estimates were calculated as a
residual, that is, the total number of employed persons
was deducted from the total civilian labor force. The
unemployment rate presents the data on unemployed
persons as a percentage of the civilian labor force. The
lowest unemployment rate (that is, the closest the
United States ever came to the concept of full employment) was achieved in 1944 during wartime (1.2 percent), the highest rates were in 1894 (18.3 percent) and
in 1939 (17.2 percent).

4 Economically Active Population is a concept developed by David L. Caplan and M. Claire Casey. It
referred to both employed and unemployed workers in
the civilian labor force 10 years old and over before
1940, and 14 years and over since 1940. It is similar to
the gainful workers concept, which is also based on
occupation and marketable skills rather than on
employment. The occupational classification system is
generally comparable with the system used in the
Dictionary of Occupational Titles.

The most common range of wages for agricultural


laborers in the United States in the nineteenth century
was from $8 to $12 per month, the same range that prevails in many Third World countries today. Data on
wages after the Civil War and before 1900 comes from a
number of published reports, such as Joseph D. Weekss
Report on the Statistics of Wages in the Manufacturing
Industries (1886) and the Aldrich Reports on Wholesale
Prices, on Wages and on Transportation (1893). Since
1939, private industry employment and payrolls are
based principally upon records of the Social Security
Programs.

111

The average weekly hours worked and paid for differ from the average hours worked per week, both during times of substantial unemployment as well as times
of relative full employment because of the overtime element. The widespread adoption of paid vacations of
increasing length and the increasing number of paid
holidays raised average weekly hours paid for, while
keeping the average weekly hours worked low.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics monitors and publishes biennial data on labor unions, their membership
dues, collective agreements, and voting rights. Union
membership figures are available since 1951 and include
the AFL-CIO, the principal labor federation, and independent labor unions. The decline in union membership
has consequences not merely in U.S. industry but also in
U.S. politics.

Data on work stoppages, including strikes and


lockouts, were first published in 1881 and at five-year
intervals thereafter with the exception of the period
from 1906 to 1913. This seven-year lapse occurred while
the charge of collecting labor statistics was moved from
the Bureau of Labor (which collected these data from
1881 to 1905) to the Department of Labor, which was
officially founded in 1913. During the transition period
there was no government agency for the collection of
labor statistics. Until 1927, these data were quite fragmentary and based on press reports and other secondary sources.

Compilation of work injury statistics began in 1910


for the iron and steel industry and by 1925 covered 24
industries. Since 1920, reports have been standardized
with the injury-frequency rate defined as the average
number of disabling injuries per million people-hours
worked.

10
In 2002, the civilian labor force consisted of
144,863,000 persons or 66.6 percent of the population.
The highest participation rate (92.4 percent) is found
among males 25 to 34 years old while the lowest (9.8
percent) is found among women 65 years and older.
White male participation rate (74.8 percent in 2002) has
been historically higher than that of Black male participation rate (68.4 percent in 2002). The civilian labor
force participation is expected to grow to 67.5 percent
in 2010, but the increase will come not from men but
from women.

11
Marital status makes a difference in the participation rates of men and women. The participation rate
for single women (67.4 percent) is higher than that for
married women (61.0 percent). The figures are reversed

112

DATAPEDIA OF THE UNITED STATES

for men, with single men having a lower rate (71.7 percent) than that for married men (77.4 percent).

12

While the average work week was 39.2 hours in


2002, over 9.9 million people work for more than 60
hours every week and 14.5 million people work
between 48 and 49 hours. Nearly 5.3 million people hold
multiple jobs, and 31.1 million people hold part-time
jobs.

13
One of the fastest growing sectors of the
employment market is that of self-employed persons
with home-based businesses. Their number in 1997 was
4.125 million, almost equally distributed between men
(2.1 million) and women (1.9 million). Minorities have
not been prominent in these businesses, the overwhelming majority of which are White. Black home-based
businesses number 135,000 and Hispanic businesses
156,000.

14
The percentage of workers who have not completed high school declined from 36.1 percent in 1970 to
10.3 in 2002, while the percentage of college graduates
rose from 14.1 percent to 31.4 percent.

15
Unemployment increased in 2002 to 5.8 percent
but this rate masks serious disparities between certain
age groups. Among Blacks 16 to 19 years old, the unemployment rate is 29.8 percent, and among all males in
that same age group it is 18.1 percent. Unemployment is
also higher among certain sectors, such as agriculture
(9.4 percent), and construction (7.3 percent). Certain
states, such as Oregon (7.5 percent), West Virginia (7.3
percent) and Washington (7.3 percent), have higher
than the national average unemployment, while South
Dakota (3.1 percent), Nebraska (3.6 percent), and
Vermont (3.7 percent) all have lower than average
unemployment.

16
More than 53.5 percent of workers used computers in their jobs in 2001. Computer use is most wide-

18
The average hourly earnings, including overtime, doubled in private industry since 1980. In 2002, it
was highest in utilities ($23.94) and information services
($20.23) and lowest in leisure and hospitality ($8.57). In
2001, overall annual compensation was highest in electric, gas, and sanitary services ($76,835), and communications ($73,826). It was lowest in retail trade ($26,232).
Highest average annual pay is received in New York
($46,664), Connecticut ($45,486), and New Jersey
($44,285), and the lowest in Montana ($25,194) and
North Dakota ($25,707).

19
In constant 1996 dollars, the minimum wage
moved up only slightly from $4.37 in 1954 to $4.40 in
2003, although in current dollars it increased from $0.75
to $5.15.

20
The jobs with the fastest potential growth rate
until 2001 are computer software engineers, computer
support specialists, personal and home care aides, and
social and human service assistants. The jobs with the
fastest potential decline during the same period are coal
miners, textile machine operators, machine tool cutting
operators, private household cleaners and servants,
machine forming operators, switchboard operators,
farmers and farm workers, and garment sewing machine
operators.

21
In 2001, there were 48,300 job-related deaths
and 10.7 million work-related disabling injuries leading
to the loss of 480 million days of production time.

22

Workplace stoppages, such as strikes and lockouts, once a permanent fixture of the industrial landscape, have become scarce. In 2002, there were only 19
work stoppages involving 46,000 workers and the loss of
660,000 thousand workdays compared with 424 work
stoppages in 1974 involving 1,796,000 workers and the
loss of 31.8 million workdays. American workers are
more satisfied with their work conditions and pay than
they have ever been in this century.

work (80.4 percent), technical support (75.0 percent),
and administrative and clerical support (73.6 percent).

Labor Union membership has declined overall
from 17.7 million in 1983 to 15.9 million in 2002. Most

With 1992 as the base, the index of output per

of the decline is in the private sector where union membership is down from 11.9 million in 1983 to 8.6 million
in 2002. This decline is partially offset by a slight
increase in union membership in the public sector from
5.7 million to 7.3 million in the same period.

Highlights

The earliest statistics of prices were compiled by


Samuel Blodgett Jr. in Economica: A Statistical Manual
of the United States of America, published in 1806. It
includes a collection of prices for 16 important commodities in five markets for the years 1785 to 1805. The
first serious attempt to summarize price data in the
form of index numbers was made by Horatio C.
Burchard, Director of the Mint, in his report to the
Secretary of the Treasury in 1881. In 1886, a special
report containing retail prices for about 60 necessaries
of life, was included in volume 20 of the Tenth Census.
In 1891, a Senate Resolution led Roland P. Falkner to
collect a voluminous body of data covering wholesale
prices from 18401891, and retail prices for the 28month period ending September 1891. This information
was published in the Aldrich Reports. In 1900, Falkner
extended his indexes to 1899 with quotations for 142
articles, collected by the Department of Labor.
In 1902, the Department of Labor began publishing its
Index of Wholesale Prices, which it has published continuously to the present day (though in 1978 the main
index was renamed as the Producer Price Index). In
addition to this series, John R. Commons published an
Index of Wholesale Prices for 1878 to 1900 in his
Quarterly Bulletin of the Bureau of Economic Research.
Bradstreets Index of Wholesale Prices for about 96
commodities was established in 1897 and included data
beginning with 1890. Duns Index numbers of
Wholesale Prices for about 350 commodities was published in Duns Review beginning in 1901 and extending
back to 1860. Walter B. Smith and Arthur H. Cole computed wholesale commodity price indexes covering 1792
to 1862 for Fluctuations in American Business,
17901860, published by Harvard University Press in
1935. It covered Boston, New York, and Philadelphia.
The most extensive historical price investigations, however, were undertaken under the auspices of the
International Scientific Committee on Price History.
They were summarized in Wholesale Commodity Prices
in the United States, 17001861, published by Harvard
University Press in 1938. Wholesale price indexes were
compiled by Frederick C. Mills for economically significant commodities. Part of this series was first published
by the National Bureau of Economic Research for 1830

to 1931 in Economic Tendencies in the United States.


(Wholesale prices are compiled from prices in primary
markets and pertain to the first major commercial
transaction for each commodity. The quotations are
generally selling prices of manufacturers or producers
or the selling price on an organized exchange or at a
central market.) The current price index was begun in
1952 and spliced to the former series. While the 1952
revision did not alter the conceptual definition of the
index, it did adopt major changes in coverage and methods. The list of priced commodities was expanded from
947 to 1,800 in 1952, 2,450 in 1970, and 10,000 in 1998.
The index is currently known as the Producer Price
Index, as of 1978. The base years changed from 1890 to
1899 to 1913, 1926, 1967, and 1982. The weighting factors for each commodity represent the value of shipments for the specific commodity priced and for all others in the same group known to have similar price
movements. The indexes are calculated as averages of
relatives weighted by value of shipments. Changes in
quality are factored into the index.

The volume of information available for wholesale


prices is not matched at the retail level, especially for
the early years. The official Consumer Price Index
(CPI) was initiated by the Bureau of Labor Statistics
(BLS) in 1904 with a food index covering the years 1890
to 1893. The Food Index was continued until the end of
World War I when it became one component group of a
comprehensive Cost of Living Index. Since then, the
index has been expanded in scope, resulting in an
improvement in the quality of data. At present the
index is issued monthly. From 1918 to 1958, the
National Industrial Conference Board also compiled a
consumer price index. Consumer price data before 1913
are extremely patchy. The only cost of living indexes
computed from retail price data before 1913 are Wesley
C. Mitchells Relative Cost of Living for 1860 to 1880,
Ethel Hoovers Consumer Price Index for 1851 to 1880,
and Rees Cost of Living Index, 18901914. These indexes were compiled from newspapers and other sources,
and their reliability is affected by changes in quality,
incomplete files, nominal prices, changes in consumer
tastes, and demographic and other changes. In 1919, the
BLS began the publication of complete indexes at semi-

annual intervals. The first major revision of the


Consumer Price Index occurred in 1940, with subsequent revisions in 1953, 1964, 1978, 1987, and 1998. The
last revision changed the base year to 19821984. The
BLS publishes CPIs for two population groups: CPI-W
covering urban wage-earners and clerical workers who
comprise about 32 percent of the population and CPI-U
for all urban consumers, including groups excluded
from CPI-W, such as the unemployed, self-employed,
retirees, professionals, and managers. The current CPI is
based on a market basket of goods and services, including food, clothing, shelter, fuels, transportation, healthcare, and so on. It is based on data collected from 85
areas across the country (up from 40 in 1952, 46 in 1953,
50 in 1964, and 56 in 1966), and from more than 50,000
housing units and 23,000 establishments. The BLS publishes a national index as well as separate indexes for
regions, area-size classes, and 26 local areas or MSAs. In
calculating the index, each item is assigned a weight to
account for its relative importance in consumer budgets.
Price changes for the various items in each location are
then averaged. Local data are then combined to obtain
a city average.
The percent change in the CPI from month to month or
relative to the same month in the previous year is
known as the inflation rate. PPI and CPI show the same
general pattern of inflation but the latter is more
volatile. The PPI is generally the leading indicator and

often tends to foreshadow trends that later occur in the


CPI. Other measures of inflation include the Index of
Industrial Materials Prices, the Dow Jones Commodity
Spot Price Index, Futures Price Index, Employment
Cost Index, Hourly Compensation Index, and the Unit
Labor Cost Index.

Income and expenditures represent two facets of


an economy and are commonly measured by the Gross
National Product (GNP) and the Gross Domestic
Product (GDP). In 1991, the Bureau of Economic
Analysis began featuring GDP rather than GNP as the
measure of national production because it is the more
appropriate measure for short-term monitoring of the
economy and also because it facilitates international
comparisons. GDP is the primary measure of production in the System of National Accounts and is the total
national output of goods and services valued at market
prices. It includes purchases of goods and services by
consumers and government, gross private domestic
investment, and net exports of goods and services. GDP
measures the output attributable to all labor and property supplied by U.S. residents. It differs from national
income mainly in that GNP includes allowances for
depreciation and for indirect business taxes. The dollar
levels of GDP and GNP differ little but percentage
changes may differ more significantly. The annual rates
of growth of real GNP have been slightly less than the

138

DATAPEDIA OF THE UNITED STATES

annual rates of growth of real GDP for most years. The


short-term differences are greater and tend to fluctuate
more. National income is the aggregate of labor and
property earnings which arise in the current production
of goods and services. It is the sum of employee compensation, proprietors income, rental income of persons, corporate profits, and net interest. It measures the
total factor cost of the goods and services produced by
the economy. Capital consumption adjustment for corporations, sole proprietorships, and partnerships is the
difference between capital consumption claimed on
income tax returns and capital consumption allowances
measured at straight-line depreciation, consistent service lives, and replacement cost. Personal income is the
current income received by persons from all sources
minus their contributions for social insurance (including
transfers from government, such as Social Security, but
excluding interpersonal transfers). Disposable personal
income (income available for spending or saving) is personal income less personal tax and nontax payments.

In recent years, discussion has focused on the limitations of the standard measurements of national
income and wealth. First, national product is primarily a
measure of the output of the market economy. No
account is taken of the value of homemakers services,
home repairs, or noncommercial recreation. Second,
there is no agreement on what goods should be properly considered the end products of the economy. As ordinarily constituted, national product includes all items of
consumer expenditure, including expenditures on commuting and labor union dues, which are not end products in themselves. It also overstates the growth of the
economy because it includes defense expenditures, as
well as police and fire protection. Third, because of the
techniques used in adjusting for price changes, national
product fails to reflect fully the changes in the quality of
goods. The limitation tends to understate economic
growth. Fourth, aggregate figures on national product
mask changes in the distribution of income between
rich and poor, the age-composition of the population,
and people-hours spent in economic activity.

As part of a comprehensive revision in 1996, BEA


replaced its fixed-weight (1987 dollars) index as the featured measure of real GDP with an index based on
chain-type annual weights. Under the new system,
changes in real output and prices are calculated as the
average of changes based on weights for the current
and preceding years. (Components of real output are
weighted by price, and components of price are weighted by output.) These annual changes are chained
(multiplied) together to form a time series that allows
for the effects of changes in relative prices and changes
in the composition of output over time. As of the 1999
comprehensive revision, the new output indexes and
new price indexes are expressed as 1996 = 100. The
most recent comprehensive revision was in December

of 2003, which expresses indexes as 2000 = 100, but


these data were released too late in the production
cycle to be used in this edition.

The primary source of national income and product data is the Survey of Current Business, published
monthly by the Department of Commerce. Detailed historical data appear in the two-volume National Income
and Product Accounts of the United States. For earlier
periods, the classic sources are Simon Kuznets National
Income and Its Composition, 19191983; Capital in the
American Economy: Its Formation and Financing;
National Product Since 1869; and Enterprise and Social
Progress; Willford I. Kings The Wealth and Income of
the People of the United States; and Robert F. Martins
National Income in the United States, 17991938.

Generally speaking, national saving equals national


income minus national consumption and is identical to
net national investment. Although data on saving are
imperfect for statistical and conceptual reasons, they
throw important light on the nature of the different
groups of savers and the various forms of savings.

The Poverty Index was devised by the Social


Security Administration in 1964 and revised by the
Federal Inter-Agency Committee in 1969 and 1980. It is
based solely on money income and does not include
non-cash benefits, such as food stamps, Medicaid, and
public housing. The Poverty Threshold is updated every
year to reflect changes in the Consumer Price Index. In
1980, it was $4,290 for one person under 65 years, $3,949
for one person 65 years or over, and $11,269 for six persons. In 1983, the matrix was expanded to nine persons.
In 2001, the Poverty Threshold was $9,044 for one person ($9,214 for a person under 65 years and $8,494 for a
person 65 years or over), going up to $36,058 for nine or
more persons.

The GDP passed the $1 trillion mark in 1970 and


the $10 trillion mark in 2001. In 2002, it was $10.446 trillion, the largest national GDP in the world.

10
Services have overtaken manufacturing as the
largest contributor to GDP. There are four trillion-dollar sectors: Services led with $2.312 trillion; followed by
FIRE (Finance, Insurance, and Real Estate) ($2.184 trillion), manufacturing ($1.448 trillion), and government
($1.345 trillion). The other sectors are retail trade
($970.8 billion), transportation and public utilities
($839.4 billion), wholesale trade ($707.7 billion), construction ($490.3 billion), agriculture ($142.1 billion),
and mining ($123.2 billion).

The annual growth rate of GDP remained fairly


consistent throughout the 1990s, growing by between
3.2 percent (1991) and 6.5 percent (1997). The growth
rate was buttressed by strong showing by consumption
expenditures on services and gross private domestic
investment.

were California ($1.3593 trillion), New York ($826.5 billion), and Texas ($763.9 billion). The states with the lowest GSP were North Dakota ($19.0 billion), Vermont
($19.1 billion), and Wyoming ($20.4 billion).

13

Manufacturing is strongest in California ($163.8


billion), Texas ($93.8 billion), and Ohio ($79.6 billion),
as of 2001. California leads across the board in all sectors and accounts for more than 13 percent of the
national GDP.

Of personal consumption expenditures totaling


$6.377 trillion in 2001, the largest item was medical care
($1.110 trillion), followed by food ($926.0 billion), housing ($866.0 billion), transportation ($750.4 billion),

billion, personal dividend income $433.8 billion, and
rental income $142.4 billion.

17

Personal income per capita, one of the key indicators of prosperity, was $30,941 in 2002. In constant
1996 dollars, personal income per capita is up from
$22,856 in 1990 to $27,857 in 2002. Connecticut was the

CONSUMER INCOME
AND EXPENDITURES
Highlights

Reasonably reliable nationwide estimates of


income distribution are available only from the 1940s
when the minimum income requirement for filing
income tax returns was substantially lowered to cover
the vast majority of the population. Annual tabulations
of tax-return data began during World War I but initially covered only a small fraction of the upper-income
population. Sample field surveys of family incomes covering all income and occupation groups were introduced in the 1930s. Estimates of income distribution
before the 1940s were pieced together from sample surveys in American Studies of the Distribution of Wealth
and Income by Size (1939) by C. L. Merwin, The Present
Distribution of Wealth in the United States (1896) by
Charles B. Spahr, Wealth and Income of the People of
the United States (1915) by Willford I. King, Income in
the United States (19211922) by W. C. Mitchell, W. I.
King, F. R. Maucaulay, and O. W. Knauth, and Americas
Capacity to Consume (1934) by Maurice Leven, H. H.
Moulton, and Clark Warburton. The Consumer
Purchase Study (19351936) conducted by the National
Resources Committee under Hildegarde Kneeland was
the first sample field survey in which income data were
collected from all types of families. Based largely on
300,000 family income schedules, it represented a
marked improvement over earlier estimates by providing data for numerous subgroups classified by occupation, community, region, color, and family size. The
Survey of Spending and Saving in Wartime is the only
other pre-World War II source on the distribution of
family income nationwide. The 1940 decennial census
was the first to include income questions, making it possible to compare prewar and postwar income levels. For
the post-World War II years, income data are available
from two sources: the annual Current Population
Surveys of the Census Bureau and the annual surveys
of consumer finances conducted by the Survey
Research Center of the University of Michigan. In addition, all censuses since 1950 provide detailed information on the level of total money income, as well as wage
and salary income, classified by demographic and
socioeconomic characteristics and cross-classified by
sex, race and occupation, and industry groups.
Complementing these sources are income and expenditure surveys conducted by the Bureau of Labor

Statistics for selected population groups, studies of farm


family income by the Department of Agriculture, and,
since 1937, surveys of income distributions of workers
covered under the Old Age, Survivors, Disability and
Health Insurance (OASDHI) program. The much
broader coverage of Federal Individual Income Tax
Returns since World War II has made it possible to
measure changes in relative income distribution over
time. As part of its national income work, the Bureau of
Economic Analysis, formerly the Office of Business
Economics, publishes a personal income series by combining census and income tax data. To derive meaningful comparisons over time, the data for the prewar period have been adjusted to make them compatible with
the postwar data. Direct compatibility among income
distribution series has not been fully achieved because
of variations in definitions and coverage. Definitional
differences apply to the basic unit of classification, the
income measure, the time period, and the family unit.

Collection of data on consumer expenditures


began in the United States in the 1870s. The most substantial of these studies was made for Massachusetts by
Carroll D. Wright in 1875. The usefulness of the data
gathered in this study led Congress to request that further studies of this type on a broader base be conducted
by the newly formed U.S. Bureau of Labor (of which
Wright was made commissioner). The data on food
expenditures obtained in the 1901 survey were used to
devise an index of food prices purchased by workers.
During that period, the need for a more inclusive index
of retail prices became clearer because food prices rose
much faster than those of many other commodities and
rent. A nationwide study of the expenditures of wage
earners and clerical workers was undertaken in 1918.
The survey was first undertaken in seacoast cities
(because of the number of wage disputes in shipbuilding centers) but later was expanded to other industrial
centers. The first study of overall consumer expenditures of farm families was made in Livingstone County
in New York State in 1909. Dramatic increases in industrial and agricultural productivity and the collapse of
the economy in 1929 led a number of economists to
study the factors affecting consumer expenditures and

to estimate changes in consumption patterns over time.


The pioneer investigation in this field was presented in
Simon Kuznets Commodity Flow and Capital
Formation (1938). It showed national aggregates for
four types of consumer goods and services. The
Brookings Institution published estimates of expenditure patterns at different income levels for farm and
nonfarm families in 1934 and for single individuals in
1929. In the middle 1930s, two national cross-section
studies of consumer expenditure patterns were undertaken. The first, conducted by the Bureau of Labor
Statistics, covered employed city wage and clerical
workers and was initiated to provide a new list of items
and weights for the Consumer Price Index. The second,
the Study of Consumer Purchases, was conducted jointly by the Bureau of Labor Statistics and the Bureau of
Home Economics of the Department of Agriculture.
The results of the second study were used by the
National Resources Planning Board as the basis for a
national estimate of consumer expenditures. The first
detailed estimates and aggregate consumer expenditures in goods and services appeared in High-Level
Consumption by William H. Lough in 1935 and covered
the period from 1909 to 1931. Data for later years were
revised and extended in Outlay and Income in the
United States, 19211938, by Harold Barger and in
Americas Needs and Resources (1947) by J. Frederic
Dewhurst. The first detailed estimates by the
Department of Commerce of consumer expenditures
for commodities and services were published in the

Survey of Current Business in June 1944. As defined by


the Department of Commerce, consumer expenditures
represent the market value of purchases of goods and
services by individuals and nonprofit institutions as well
as the value of food, clothing, housing, and financial
services received by them as income in kind. Rental
value of owner-occupied houses is included, but purchases of dwellings, which are classified as capital goods,
are not. Other national sample surveys include the
Surveys of Consumer Finances, conducted for the
Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System by
the Consumer Research Center of the University of
Michigan, and the Household Food Consumption
Surveys of the Department of Agriculture.

Based on 19821984 = 100, the Consumer Price


Index in 2002 was 179.9. The rise was highest in medical
care (285.6), shelter (208.1), and food (176.2). It was
lowest in fuel oil (111.5), telephone services (95.7), and
energy (121.7). The U.S. city average CPI was 179.9,
with wide rational variations. It was highest in BostonLawrence-Salem (196.5) and San Francisco-OaklandSan Jose, CA (193.0), and lowest in WashingtonBaltimore (113.0). By selected products and services,
the highest rise was for fresh fruits and vegetables
(258.4), cable television (301.3), refuse collection
(285.4), breakfast cereals (203.0), automobile insurance
(291.6), airline fares (231.6), medical care (285.6), tobacco products (461.5), and college tuition (372.6).

The weekly food cost of a family of two has gone


up from a range of $48.10 to $92.70 in 1990 to $63.80 to
$124.70 in 2002. Relative cost for a family of four has
gone up in the same period from $80.10 to $154.40 to
$107.10 to $207.10.

Although the annual percentage rise in consumer


prices in the United States was only 2.8 percent in 2002,
it has one of the highest rates in the OECD, all countries of which, except five, have much lower rates. For
example, Japan had an annual percentage decline 0.7
percent and Switzerland had a rise of 1.0 percent.

Based on a nationwide average of 100, the most


expensive housing in 2002 was in New York (411.3), San
Francisco, California (331.2), and Los Angeles (207.6).
The cheapest housing was in Fort Smith, ArkansasOklahoma MSA (69.6), Augusta-Aiken, Georgia-South
Carolina MSA (71.9), and San Angelo, Texas (73.1).

The purchasing power of the dollar has declined


substantially since 1950. With 1982 = $1.00, the purchasing power of the dollar was $3.546 measured by producer prices and $4.149 measured by consumer prices in
1950. In 2002, the relative values were $0.720 and
$0.556.

SECTION 11: SOCIAL WELFARE

The United States adopted the concepts of Social


Security and Welfare much later than other Western
democracies. Throughout the nineteenth century, social
welfare activities remained a local responsibility.
Following public support of education in Massachusetts
and other states, state intervention was extended to
health programs, care of blind and orphaned people,
workers compensation, and retirement pensions. It was
not until the Social Security Act of 1935 that the federal
government participated in any major way in permanent welfare programs for the general population. The
act established a national system of old age insurance
and provided federal grants-in-aid to the states for public assistance, maternal and child health and welfare
services, general public health services, and vocational
rehabilitation services. The Social Security
Administration administers many of these programs,
and its annual and monthly reports carry an enormous
volume of statistical data.

Of 109.3 million households in the United States in


2001, 5.9 million received food stamps, 7.9 million
received school lunches, 5.0 million received public
housing, and 15.8 million received Medicaid.

181

Of the 13,529,000 custodial parents who were


awarded child support in 1999, 1,786,000 did not receive
any payments, and 3,530,000 custodial parents live
below poverty level.

In 2000, 27.6 percent of the population did some


voluntary work. More women volunteer than men (31.1

In 2002, Americans spent $240.9 billion on charity, of which $183.7 billion came from individuals. The
majority of private philanthropy is earmarked for religion, education, health, and arts, culture, and humanities. The Census Bureau does not distinguish between
religious organizations and religion-affiliated charities.
Religion itself is considered a charity, even if it does not
engage in what is generally considered as charitable
work. Of the total number of households in 2000,
approximately 12 percent do not contribute anything to
charity.

11

education, 20.6 percent to health, 14.4 percent to human
services, and 12.0 percent to arts and culture.

Note: "Pension plan" is defined by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) as "any plan, fund, or program which was heretofore or is hereafter established or maintained by an
employer or an employee organization, or by both, to the extent that such plan (a) provides retirement income to employees, or (b) results in a deferral of income by employees for periods
extending to the termination of covered employment or beyond, regardless of the method of calculating the contributions made to the plan, the method of calculating the benefits under the
plan, or the method of distributing benefits from the plan." A defined benefit plan provides a definite benefit formula for calculating benefit amountssuch as a flat amount per year of
service or a percentage of salary times years of service. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan in which the contributions are made to an individual account for each employee. The
retirement benefit is dependent upon the account balance at retirement. The balance depends upon amounts contributed, investment experience, and in the case of profit sharing plans,
amounts which may be allocated to the account due to forfeitures by terminating employees. Employee Stock Ownership Plans (ESOP) and 401(k) plans are included among defined
contribution plans. Data are based on Form 5500 series reports filed with the Internal Revenue Service.
1Excludes all plans covering only one participant.
2Includes double counting of workers in more than one plan.
3Total participants include active participants, vested separated workers, and retirees.
4Any workers currently in employment covered by a plan and who are earning or retaining

credited service under a plan. Includes any nonvested former employees who have not yet incurred

breaks in service.
5Includes both employer and employee contributions.
6Benefits paid directly from trust and premium payments

made from plan to insurance carriers. Excludes benefits paid directly by insurance carriers.

Educational statistics have been collected and


issued by the Office of Education from 1870 to 1953, by
the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare
from 1953 to 1979, and by the Department of Education
from 1979 to the present. From 1870 to 1917, these statistics were included in the Annual Report of the United
States Commissioner of Education and from 1918 to
1958 in the Biennial Survey of Education. Since 1962,
the National Center for Educational Statistics has published summary data on education in two annual publications: Digest of Educational Statistics and Condition
of Education. Two problems that arise in the study of
educational statistics are inconsistencies in the definitions of terms and procedures and a lack of timeliness.
School authorities are not compelled by law to report to
the Department of Education, but the vast majority of them

do so voluntarily. Nonpublic schools under the operational control of private individuals and groups have
reported their data in a slightly different format over
the years, making this data incomparable with public
school data. Enrollment information is collected on a
state-by-state basis and represents a cumulative count
of the total number of students registered at any time
during the school year in each state. Students enrolled
in more than one state in a school year are counted
more than once, resulting in inflated totals.

The first school in the United States was established by the Dutch West India Company on Manhattan
Island in 1633, with Adam Roelantsen as its first master.
In 1783, the schools name was changed to Collegiate

SECTION 12: EDUCATION AND LEARNING

School. The first school committee or board was elected


in Dorchester, Massachusetts, in 1645. The first school
to operate on a one class to one room basis was set up
in Quincy, Massachusetts, in 1846. The first school
superintendent, Roswell William Haskins, was appointed in 1836 in Buffalo, New York. The Compulsory
School Law, the first piece of educational legislation,
was passed on June 14, 1642, by Massachusetts.
According to the records of the Governor and
Company of Massachusetts Bay, the legislation stated
that This Court, taking into consideration the great
neglect of many parents and masters in training up their
children in learning and labor and other employments
which may be profitable to the Commonwealth, so
hereupon order and decree that in every town the chosen men appointed for managing the prudential affairs
of the same shall henceforth stand charged with the
care of the redress of this evil. On November 11, 1647,
Massachusetts ordered that every town in this jurisdiction, after the Lord has increased them to the number
of 50 householders, shall then forthwith appoint one
within their town to teach all such children as shall
resort to him to write and read, whose wages shall be
paid either by the parents or masters of such children,
or by the inhabitants in general. In 1852, the governor
of Massachusetts ordered that children between the
ages of 8 and 14 must attend school for 12 weeks in the
year, six of which must be consecutive.
The first public school tax was an act providing for the
establishment of free schools, enacted January 15, 1825
by the state of Illinois. The tax was levied at the rate of
2 percent. The first schoolbook was the New England
Primer (16891690) printed by R. Pierce and sold by
Benjamin Harris at the London Coffee House in
Boston. Middlesex County Association for the
Improvement of Common Schools was the first local
education association organized in Middlesex,
Connecticut, in May 1799. The first national education
association, the American Institute of Instruction, was
founded in Boston in 1830. The oldest educational magazine, the Juvenile Mirror, first appeared in New York
City in 1811.

The Department of Education was founded by the


Act of Congress on March 2, 1867, as an agency for the
purpose of collecting such statistics and facts as shall
show the condition and progress of education in the
several states and territories, and of diffusing such information respecting the organization and management of
school systems and methods of teaching as shall aid the
people of the United States in the establishment and
maintenance of efficient school systems and otherwise
promote the cause of education. The first commissioner was Henry Barnard. The Act of July 28, 1868 abolished the Department of Education and created in its
stead the Office of Education in the Department of
Interior.

The first college in the United States was Harvard


College, founded in 1636. The first commencement, held
in 1642, was presided over by Henry Dunster, the colleges first president, who served from 1640 to 1654.
Georgetown College, the first Catholic college, was
established in Washington, D.C. in 1791. The first city
college, the College of Charleston in Charleston, South
Carolina, was founded in 1770, chartered in 1785, and
opened in 1790. Oberlin Collegiate Institute, the first
coeducational college, opened in 1833. The first college
to receive a royal charter was the Royal College of
William and Mary in 1693. The first college for women
was Mount Holyoke Seminary in South Hadley,
Massachusetts, founded in 1837. The Cooper Union in
New York City was the first college to prohibit discrimination on account of race, religion, or color in 1851. The
first state university was the University of Georgia in
Athens, Georgia, chartered in 1785 and opened in 1801.
Lincoln University, the first Black university, was chartered in 1854 as Ashmun Institute in Chester County,
Pennsylvania. The first educational institution legally
designated as a university was the University of the
State of Pennsylvania in 1791, known now as the
University of Pennsylvania. The first university founded
by a federal land grant was Ohio University in Athens,
Ohio, chartered in 1804 and opened in 1808. The first
college alumni association was the Society of Alumni of
Williams College, Williamstown, Massachusetts, founded
in 1821. Yale University awarded the first doctorates in
1861 to Eugene Schuyler, James Morris Whiton, and
Arthur Williams Wright.

In 2000, there are 68.479 million pupils enrolled at


all levels of education, of which 58.976 million (86.1
percent) are enrolled in public schools; 47.223 million
pupils are enrolled in public schools K through 12; 5.944
million in private schools K through 12; 11.7 million in
public colleges; and 3.56 in private colleges. Total enrollment in schools and colleges is expected to reach 71.36
million in 2012. Between 1975 and 1980, total school
and college enrollment dropped from 61 million to 58.3
million, but then picked up again in the 1990s and into
2000.

Education ranks among the largest expenditure


items in national and state budgets. In 2002, elementary
and secondary education cost $454.1 billion, and college
and university education cost $291.9 billion, for a total
of $746.0 billion, compared with $131.342 billion in
1960.

The number of high school graduates rose only


marginally in the 1990s from 2.5 million in 1990 to 2.6
million in 2002.

DATAPEDIA OF THE UNITED STATES

Higher education had a healthy growth rate


through 2000. Of the total enrollment of 15.3 million in
2000, males made up 6.722 million (43.9 percent) and
females 8.591 million (56.1 percent). Females were in
minority in higher education until 1980. In 1960 male
enrollment was 2.3 million compared with female
enrollment of 1.2 million. Female majority status in college enrollment began in the 1980s and has continued
ever since. Male enrollment actually dropped between
1990 and 1997. Of total enrollment, 11.753 million (76.7
percent) are enrolled in public institutions and 3.560
million (23.2 percent) in private institutions; 13.155 million are in undergraduate programs, 1.85 million in
graduate programs, and 307,000 in first-time professional programs.

9 In terms of college graduates in 2002, Asians have


the highest level with 47.2 percent, followed by Whites
with 27.2 percent, Blacks with 17.0 percent, and
Hispanics with 11.1 percent.

10
Blacks have made dramatic gains in education
as a result of federal programs. In 1950, only 12.9 percent of Blacks over 25 were high school graduates and
only 2.1 percent held college degrees. By 2002, the relative numbers increased to 78.7 percent and 17.0 percent.

11
Southern states are much less successful in the
educational attainment of their citizens than Northern
states. In terms of the percentage of persons with high
school diplomas in 2002, Texas is at the bottom with
78.1 percent. Other Southern states with less than the
national average of 84.1 percent are Alabama,
Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, New Mexico, South
Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, and West Virginia. The states
leading in educational attainment at the high school
level are Alaska (90.6 percent) and Wyoming (90 percent). The states that have the highest percentage of
people with bachelors degrees or more are Maryland
(37.6 percent), Colorado (35.7 percent), Massachusetts
(34.3 percent) Virginia (34.6 percent), Connecticut (32.6
percent), New Jersey (31.4 percent), and Minnesota
(30.5 percent),

12
In 2000, 1,946,400 nonfatal crimes against students were reported. Of these, 128,400 were considered
serious. These include, rape, sexual assault, robbery, and
aggravated assault.

13
Preprimary school enrollment in 2001 was
11.653 million, of which 4.250 million were in nursery
schools and 3.191 million in kindergarten. Black enrollment rate is higher than that of Whites at this level

(69.2 percent vs. 63.2 percent). Only slightly more children are enrolled in public nursery schools than private
ones (2.126 million vs. 2.124 million). However, many
more children are enrolled in public kindergartens than
private ones (2,690,000 vs. 501,000).

14
The average salary of a classroom teacher has
risen from $15,970 in 1980 to $44,700 in 2002. Teacher
salaries are highest in California ($54,300), Connecticut
($53,600), New Jersey ($53,200), and New York
($52,000). They are lowest in South Dakota ($31,300),
North Dakota ($32,300), Mississippi ($33,300), and
Louisiana ($36,300).

15
One of the determinants of the quality of education is the student-teacher ratio. This ratio has always
been higher in private schools at all levels, but the federal government is now engaged in an effort to reduce
overcrowding in public schools and to appoint more
teachers. Since 1960, the student-teacher ratio has
improved in public elementary school from 28.4 to 15.9
in 2000.

16
Schools are among the largest users of computers in the United States. During the 20022003 school
year, there were 13.2 million computers in schools or 4.1
students per computer, and 73.9 percent of schools have
high-speed Internet access.

17
Catholic school systems in the United States
have been downsizing since the 1960s. In
19992000, there were 6,707 Catholic elementary
schools enrolling 1,815,000 students and 1,114 Catholic
secondary schools enrolling 608,000 students, compared
with 10,133 elementary schools enrolling 3,860,000 students and 1,227 secondary schools enrolling 636,000 students in 1967.

18

Average Scholastic Assessment Test (SAT)


scores have been declining. In 1967, average SAT scores
were 543 for verbal (540 for males and 545 for females)
and 516 for math (535 for males and 495 for females).
The relative scores in 2002 were 504 for verbal (507 for
males and 502 for females) and 516 for math (534 for
males and 500 for females). Only 21.2 percent scored
600 or above in verbal and 25.3 percent in math, while
15.8 percent scored below 400 in verbal and 14.7 percent in math.

19

Average American College Testing (ACT)


scores inched higher from 19.9 in 1967 to 20.8 in 2002,
but males did better than females (20.9 for males vs.
20.7 for females). Males did better in math and science
reasoning while females did better in English and reading.

individuals and alumnae, $4.37 billion from business
corporations, and $6.3 billion from foundations.

21
Hispanic students lead in the proportion of status dropouts, that is, the percentage of the population
who have not completed high school and are not
enrolled. While the White dropout rate was 13.4 in 2001
(15.3 percent for males and 11.4 percent for females),
and the Black dropout rate was 13.8 percent (16.9 percent for males and 11.0 percent for females), the
Hispanic rate was 31.7 percent (37.1 percent for males
and 25.5 percent for females).

22
More high school graduates enroll in higher
education institutions compared with 1975. In 2001, 61.7
percent of high school graduates went on to college
(59.7 percent male, 63.6 percent female, 64.2 percent
White, and 54.6 percent Black), compared with 50.7 percent of high school graduates in 1975 (52.6 percent
males, 49.0 percent Black females, 51.1 percent White,
and 41.7 percent Black).

In 2002, 583,000 foreign (nonimmigrant) students were enrolled in U.S. colleges and universities. Of
these, 38,000 were from Africa, 363,000 from Asia,
82,000 from Europe, and 68,000 from Latin America. Of
the large number of Asian, 67,000 came from India,
49,000 from South Korea, 47,000 from Japan, and 29,000
from China. Engineering, science, and business remain
popular majors for foreign students.

Of college freshmen in 2001, 44 percent were A
to A+ students in high school, 49.5 percent B to B+ students, and 6.2 C to C+ students. By political orientation,
26.9 percent were liberal, 49.5 percent middle of the
road, and 19.1 percent conservative.

31
In 2001, 2.416 million students earned degrees
from colleges and universities. Of that total, 42.4 percent were male (compared with 65.8 percent male in
1960). More women than men received associates,
bachelors, and masters degrees, but men earned more
first professional doctoral degrees.

Under the U.S. Constitution, law enforcement is a


function of state and municipal governments. Crimes
under federal jurisdiction include offenses against the
U.S. government and against or by its employees while
engaged on official duties, as well as offenses that
involve the crossing of state lines or interference with
interstate commerce. Excluding the military and federal
jurisdictions, there are 51 separate criminal law jurisdictions, one in each of the 50 states and one in the District
of Columbia. Each of these has its own criminal law and
procedure and its own law enforcement agencies with
substantial differences in penalties for like offenses.
While almost all of them follow the Anglo-Saxon
Common Law, Louisianas legal heritage, for example, is
largely French and Continental.

The major sources of law enforcement and criminal justice data are the Federal Bureau of Investigation
(FBI) and the Bureau of Justice Statistics. The latter has
emerged in recent years as an incomparable data
provider, publishing such reports as Sourcebook of
Criminal Justice Statistics, Criminal Victimization in the
United States, Prisoners in State and Federal Institutions,
Children in Custody, National Surveys of Courts, Census
of State Correctional Facilities, Survey of Prison Inmates,
Parole in the United States, Capital Punishment, and
Expenditure and Employment Data for the Criminal
Justice System. The FBIs major publication is Crime in
the United States, which grew out of the Uniform
Crime Reporting Program initiated in 1930 by the
International Association of Chiefs of Police. In 1958, a

SECTION 13: LAW ENFORCEMENT, COURTS, AND PRISONS

special committee was appointed to study the program.


Their report made 22 recommendations that were
incorporated in the Uniform Crime Reports, beginning
with the 1958 issue. Its major innovations were the
Crime Index and the Crime Rates per 100,000. Offenses
are divided into two groups, designated Part I and Part
II. Part I offenses make up the Crime Index. The original eight FBI Index offenses are murder, nonnegligent
manslaughter, forcible rape, robbery, aggravated assault,
burglary, larceny, and motor vehicle theft. Arson was
added as the eighth Index offense in 1979. The FBI
Reports are complemented by the National Crime
Survey (NCS) of the Bureau of Justice Statistics. NCS
data come directly from the victims and include offenses reported to the police as well as those not reported.
When an offense involves more than one criminal act, it
is counted only once under the more serious category.

The earliest statistics on the courts were collected


and published by the Bureau of the Census from 1932
to 1945. There are several types of courts with varying
degrees of jurisdiction: original, appellate, general, and
limited or special. The 94 federal courts of original jurisdiction are known as the District Courts.

Statistics on prisoners were collected by the


Bureau of the Census in connection with each decennial
census of population from 1850 to 1890. Independent
enumerations of prisoners were made in 1904, 1910,
1923, and 1933. The first nationwide collection of data
was made in 1926 by the Bureau of the Census, which
published an annual summary until 1950. From 1950 to
1971, the data were published by the FBI, from 1971 to
1979 by the Law Enforcement Assistance
Administration, and since 1979 by the Bureau of Justice
Statistics.

5 Crime rates have declined since the early 1990s.


Since 1991 the rate of crimes dropped 29 percent, from
a rate per 100,000 of 5,898 in 1991 to 4,161 in 2001. The
violent crimes rate dropped 33 percent, from 758 to 504,
of which the murder rate went down 43 percent from
9.8 to 5.6. (All rates are per 100,000.) Property crimes
went from a rate of 5,140 to 3,656.

The states with the highest violent crime rate per


100,000 as of 2001 are Florida (797), Maryland (781),
New Mexico (781), and Tennessee (745). The states with
the lowest crime rates are Vermont (105), Maine (112),
South Dakota (155), and New Hampshire (170). The
District of Columbia tops all states on this basis, with a
rate of 1,737, but this figure is more comparable with
city data because the District of Columbia is effectively
a single city.

203

Among cities, the highest violent crime rate per


100,000 population in 2001 are Atlanta, GA (2,534),
Baltimore, MD (2,240), Detroit, MI (2,191), and St.
Louis, MO (2,188). Among the cities with the lowest
violent crime rates are Virginia Beach, VA (194) and
Honolulu, HI (277).

Beginning in 1988, more Black males became


homicide victims than White males. In 2000, 6,482 Black
males were murdered, compared with 5,925 White
males. The Black male homicide rate is 38.6 per 100,000,
compared with 5.3 for White males. Black females also
have a higher homicide rate than White females (7.5 vs.
2.1).

In 2001, there were 9,878 hate crimes reported by


12,054 law enforcement agencies. Of these, 2,951 were
directed against Blacks, 1,376 against homosexuals, and
1,054 against Jews.

10
In 2001, there were 78,443 arrests of juveniles
under 18 years of age for violent crimes, 29,290 juvenile
arrests for weapon law violations, and 146,758 juvenile
arrests for drug abuse.

11
In 2001, there were 10.762 million arrests. Of
these, 7.235 million were of Whites and 3.259 million
were of Blacks. Males made up 78.1 percent of the
arrestees. Of serious crimes, the most common arrests
were for larceny/theft (881,500) and aggravated assault
(370,700). The most common nonserious crimes were
drug abuse violations (1.266 million), other assaults
(999,900), and driving under the influence (970,300).

12
The government has been waging a losing war
on drugs for many decades. In 2002, 5.065 million
pounds of drugs were seized by the Drug Enforcement
Administration, compared with 1.663 million pounds in
1995. Drug arrest rates for drug abuse violations rose to
587.1 per 100,000 in 2000, compared with 435.3 in 1990.

13
In 2000, 1.815 million illegal aliens were apprehended by the Border Patrol, compared with 1.170 million in 1990. From these, $1.945 billion worth of narcotics were seized.

14
In 2000, there were 15,785 general purpose law
enforcement agencies in the United States, of which
12,666 were local agencies.

In 2001, 903,141 child abuse and neglect cases
were reported. Of these, neglect was involved in 516,646

past 10 years. In 2001, the number was 220, including 72


officers killed during the terrorist attack of September
11, 2001. Other than in 2001, more police officers are
killed in the South than in any other region.

(18.6 percent), sexual abuse in 86,834 cases (9.4 percent), emotional neglect in 61,779 cases (6.8 percent),
and medical neglect in 17,664 cases (2.0 percent).

In 2000, there were 613,534 jail inmates (excluding state and federal prisons). That year state and feder-

made up 2,210 of those cases, compared with 2,749 in


1980. Although the total cases on the Supreme Court
docket has nearly doubled since 1980, the total cases
available for argument have dropped to 137 from 264.
The number of signed opinions also dropped, to 76 in
2001 from 123 in 1980.

al prisoners totaled 1.316 million. The total of all persons on probation or parole and in jails and prisons in
2000 was 6.438 million or 3.1 percent of the resident
adult population.

17
In 2001, a total of 1087 public officials were
indicted for corruption, 920 were convicted, and 437

Year

Annual agricultural statistics have been published


by the Department of Agriculture since May 1, 1863.
The Statistical Reporting Service and the Economic
Research Service now compile them. From 1840 to
1920, the Census of Agriculture was taken every 10
years; from 1925 to 1978, about every 5 years; and since
1982, those years ending in 2 or 7. The first census was
limited in scope to domestic animals, production of
principal crops, and the value of wool and dairy products. Number of farms, acreage, and value of farmland
were first included in 1850, farm tenure in 1880, and
classification of farmland by use in 1925.

The definition of a farm has varied from census to


census. Before 1954, the cutoff was three acres with
annual output valued at $150 or more, but farms smaller
than three acres were included if the value of output
reached the same level. Between 1925 and 1945, farms
included places of three or more acres on which there
were agricultural operations and places of less than
three acres with an annual output of three acres or
more. Between 1910 and 1920, the definition was even
more liberal, including farms smaller than three acres
with less than $250 in output, if they required the continuous services of one person. In 1860 and 1900, there
were no acreage or value limits. In 1870, 1880, and 1890,
farms smaller than three acres were included only if the
value of output exceeded $500. In the census of 1850, no

SECTION 15: AGRICULTURE


acreage qualification was given, but there was a floor of
$100 for value of products. In 1959, the acreage limit
was raised to 10 and the value limit to $250 for smaller
farms. Since the 1974 Census of Agriculture, a farm was
defined as any place on which $1,000 or more of agricultural products were produced and/or sold.

Estimates of farm population are equally problematic. Since 1960, farm population has been defined as all
persons living in rural territory on places of 10 or more
acres producing at least $50 worth of agricultural produce. The principal characteristics of farm population
are its higher age profile, higher outflow, and higher
birth rates. The classification of farm operator was first
made in the Census of 1900. It designates a person who
operates a farm as an owner, salaried employee, tenant,
renter, or sharecropper. Because of the decreasing
importance of the cropper system in the South, croppers have not been classified since 1959. Since 1880,
farms have been classified by tenure, and since 1900, by
race of the owner.

Estimates of farm income were started in 1924 on a


crop-year basis. Only scattered data on farm income are
available for the period before 1910. Willford I. King
provides some data for census years from 1850 in The
Wealth and Income of the People of the United States.
The National Industrial Conference Boards National
Income in the United States, 1799 to 1938 provides
decennial projections going back to 1800, and the
Department of Agricultures Gross Farm Income and
Indices of Farm Production and Prices in the United
States, 18691937 extends back to 1869.

For many crops, estimates of acreage, production,


and prices began in 1866 when the Department of
Agriculture began making regular reports. These data
are found in Agricultural Statistics, Crop Production and
Crop Values. Data on livestock have been published
since 1867, based on the Census of Agriculture.

Early development of the dairy industry is indicated by the export statistics of 1890, which showed the
New England states, New York, and Pennsylvania producing considerable amounts of butter and cheese in
excess of their consumption requirements. By the middle of the nineteenth century, milk cows were distributed as far west as southern Wisconsin, eastern Iowa,
western Missouri and Arkansas, and the eastern third of
Texas. By 1860, they had spread to the Pacific coast
states. Before 1850, milk, butter, and cheese were produced mainly on farms. Factory cheese production
began shortly after 1850; the first condensery was estab-

231

lished in 1856 and the first commercial creamery in


1861. Unsweetened condensed milk was first produced
in 1885.

The share of the farm sector in the economy has


steadily declined as the United States moved into the
postindustrial age. In 1998, agriculture contributed only
2 percent of the $7.9 trillion economy. Although the
United States is in many ways the granary of the world,
it employs fewer people in that sector today than it did
in 1990. The number of farms has declined from 2.440
million in 1980 to 2.158 million in 2002. The land in
farms has declined from 1,039 million acres to 941.0
million acres from 1980 to 2002, and harvested cropland
has followed the same trend from 382 million acres to
340 million acres. However, gross farm output grew at a
slower pace than other sectors of the economy, reaching
$221.3 billion in 2001 from $142.9 billion in 1980.

Texas has the most land in farms (131.3 million


acres) in 2002, followed by Montana (57 million acres),
Kansas (47 million acres), Nebraska (46 million acres),
New Mexico and Dakota (44 million acres each).
Arizona and Wyoming lead in the average size of farms
with 3,761 and 3,630 acres respectively. Texas leads in
the gross value of agricultural output with $77.351 billion, followed by California with $69.768 billion and
Illinois $56.475 billion. Texas and Nebraska lead in cattle, California and Wisconsin in dairy products, and
Iowa and Illinois in corn and soybean.

Agriculture is one of the strongest export sectors


and has always shown a positive trade balance. In 2002,
agriculture had a trade balance of $11.1 billion with
exports valued at $53.0 billion (8 percent of all exports)
and imports of $41.9 billion. The United States accounts
for 38.6 percent of the world production of corn and
38.3 percent of soybeans in 2002. In exports, it accounts
for 22.8 percent of the wheat, 54.4 percent of corn, 43.3
percent of soybeans, and 37.9 percent of cotton.

10
By cash receipts from farm marketings, the five
principal U.S. crops are corn, soybean, vegetables,
wheat, and cotton, which together account for 60 percent of value (corn is considered a cereal, while only
sweet corn is considered a vegetable). The most popular
vegetable is the potato with a production of $3,151 million in 2002, followed by the tomato ($1,854 million).
The most popular fruit is the grape with a production of
$2,853 million in 2002, followed by the orange ($1,834
million).

The National Forest Service is the largest landowner in the United States and oversees the National Forest
System, which covers more than 232 million acres. A
forest is defined as land that is at least 10 percent
stocked by forest trees of any size. The states with the
largest forest areas in 2002 are California (24.4 million
acres), Alaska (24.3 million acres), Idaho (21.5 million
acres), Montana (19.1 million acres), and Oregon (17.5
million acres).

Data on lumber were first collected in 1810 by the


Census Office (later the Census Bureau). Subsequent
statistics were published by this agency for 1819, decennially for 1839 to 1899, and annually from 1904 to 1954,
except in 1905, 1906, 1913, 1915 to 1918, 1920, and 1948.
Current data are reported in An Analysis of the Timber

Situation in the United States, 19892040; Forest Statistics


of the United States, U.S. Timber Production, Trade,
Consumption and Price Statistics, 19601988; and the
annual Land Areas of the National Forest System.

The total forest area of the United States in 1992


was 754 million acres, of which 360 million acres were in
private hands, 116 million acres were federally owned
or managed, and 29 million acres were owned by states,
counties, and municipalities. Of the total acreage, 168
million acres were in the Northeast, 212 million acres in
the South, 142 million acres in the Rockies, and 217 million acres in the West. The net volume of growing stock
was 786 billion cubic feet, of which softwood accounted
for 450 billion cubic feet.

SECTION 16: FORESTRY AND FISHERIES

The most popular softwood is Douglas fir, and the


most popular hardwood is oak. However, stumpage
prices for Sugar pine ($209) are generally higher than
those for Douglas fir ($185) because it is favored by
carpenters and construction people.

Fisheries Service. Statistics on commercial landed catches of fish are shown as round, salable weight of recoverable meat. Data do not include catches made for personal use by hobby fishermen, or landings by foreign
fishing vessels.

The GDP of timber-related industry was $106.2 billion in 2002, of which paper and allied products
accounted for $73.0 billion and wood products for $33.1
billion. The wood manufacturing products industries
employed 556,000 persons, and paper, paperboard, and
other paper products industries employed 530,000 persons in 2001. In 2002, domestic production of industrial
roundwood was 14.9 billion cubic feet; lumber, 7.1 billion cubic feet; plywood and veneer, 1.1 billion cubic
feet; and pulp products, 5.7 billion cubic feet.

The fishing species most often caught are whiting,


cod, flounder, haddock, herring, lobster, mackerel, and
ocean perch in the New England states; menhaden, oysters, and crabs in the Middle Atlantic and Chesapeake
Bay states; shrimp, menhaden, and mullet in the South
Atlantic and Gulf states; lake trout and white fish in the
Great Lakes states; tuna, salmon, sardine, halibut, and
mackerel in the Pacific coast states; tuna in Hawaii; and
salmon, halibut, and herring in Alaska.

6 The total production of paper and paperboard in


2000 was 96.3 million short tons, of which paper

The total fish catch in 2001 was 9.5 billion pounds


valued at $3.2 billion. Of these, shellfish accounted for
1.2 billion pounds worth $1.7 billion. Menhaden and
pollock account for more than half the fish catch, but
salmon has the highest dollar value ($208.9 million)
after Pollock ($230.7 million). Among shellfish, shrimp
($568.5 million) and crabs ($381.7 million) have the
highest dollar value. The largest fishing ports (on the
basis of landed fish) are Dutch Harbor in Alaska,
Pascagoula-Moss Point in Mississippi, Kodiak in Alaska,
and Empire-Venice in Louisiana. The largest fishing
port (on the basis of value of fish catch) is New
Bedford, Massachusetts. In 2001, 1.7 million pounds of
fish were canned. Shrimp is the most abundant supply
in 2001 with 1.3 million pounds followed by canned
tuna (796 million pounds).

accounted for 45.5 million short tons. The United States


consumes double its annual production of newsprint of
13.0 million metric tons.

The first comprehensive statistical study of fisheries and fishery industries was produced for the year
1880 by the U.S. National Museum with the cooperation
of the Commission of Fisheries and the Superintendent
of the Tenth Census. The next general survey was conducted by the Bureau of the Census in 1908, followed
by one in 1931 and another in 1950. Since then, annual
data have been available for all coastal areas. Annual
surveys are also made of the Mississippi River and its
tributaries. Extended data are available for landing at
the important fishing ports for certain species and for
canned and industrial fishery products. Current fishery
data are published in the Current Fishery Statistics and
Fisheries of the United States by the National Marine

10
Aquaculture has become a major sector of the
fishing industry, producing 598.5 million pounds of catfish and 54.5 million pounds of trout in 2002 for a value
of $58.3 million.

The principal source for minerals data is the


Minerals Yearbook published annually since 19321933
by the U.S. Bureau of Mines. For earlier years, the same
data are provided by the Minerals Resources of the
United States, which was published from 1882 until 1932
by the U.S. Geological Survey. Since 1977, mineral fuel
data have been collected and published by the Energy
Information Administration.

Censuses of mineral industries have been conducted by the Bureau of the Census at various intervals
since 1840. Since 1967, the census has been conducted
every fifth year for years ending in 2 and 7.

Because of poor husbandry of natural resources


and unbridled consumption habits, the United States is
losing its commanding position in the production of
major minerals. In 2002, the United States was 100 percent dependent on foreign suppliers for columbium,
strontium, manganese, vanadium, and bauxite, 88 percent for the platinum group, 80 percent for tantalum, 79
percent for tin, 76 percent for barite, 75 percent for
cobalt, 70 percent for tungsten, 63 percent for chromium, 61 for silver, 60 percent for zinc, 43 percent for
nickel, 39 percent for aluminum, 37 percent for copper
and 25 percent for gypsum.

SECTION 17: MINERALS

In 1997, there were 25,000 mining establishments


employing 509,000 workers. The value added in mining
was $139 billion, of which oil and gas extraction
accounted for $110.3 billion. California leads all states
in non fuel mineral production with $3.4 billion, followed by Nevada ($2.9 billion), Texas ($2.2 billion), and
Florida ($2.0 billion).

The federal government maintains the worlds


largest stockpile of strategic minerals. In 2001, they
included 54,000 tons of tin, 6.8 million troy oz. of silver,
16 million pounds of cobalt, 2.1 million tons of manganese, 69 million pounds of tungsten, 125 million tons
of zinc, 21,000 tons of titanium, 108,000 troy oz. of platinum, 902,000 short tons of chromium, and 1.0 million
carats of diamonds.

The United States is the worlds largest exporter of


coal, producing 1.1 billion tons of coal, or 21.2 percent
of world production. The United States is the second
largest producer of coal; the first is China. The most significant coal mining states are Wyoming, Kentucky, and
West Virginia. The number of mines has declined to 707
in 2000 from 5,598 in 1980, and the number of miners
from 225,000 to 72,000 during the same period.

Proved U.S. reserves of oil may last for 10 years at


current rates of production. The United States fares better in natural gas with reserves of 177 trillion cubic feet
in 2000. U.S. production of natural gas accounts for 19.4
percent in 2001 of the world total, making it the worlds
second largest natural gas producer, after Russia. U.S.

263

production of crude oil in 2000 was 2.1 billion barrels, of


which Alaska alone accounted for 354 million barrels
and offshore wells for 635 million barrels. U.S. dependence on foreign oil, which was significantly reduced in
the 1970s, is once again rising. Imports of foreign oil
increased to 3.3 billion barrels compared with 1.9 billion
barrels in 1980. The number of oil wells drilled, which
peaked in 1990 at close to 602,000, dropped to fewer
than 534,000 in 2000. There were 163 operating refineries in 1998, down from 319 in 1980. The refineries total
output was 6.3 billion barrels, of which motor gasoline
was a little less than half (2.9 billion). Natural gas production was 20.7 trillion cubic feet in 2001 of which
Louisiana (5.2) and Texas (6.5) together accounted for
59 percent.

The 2002 prices of major minerals are far below


those prevailing in 1980. Copper dropped from $1.01
per pound to 75 cents; platinum from $677 per troy oz.
to $559; gold from $613 per oz. to $305; silver from
$20.63 per oz. to $4.5; and tin from $8.46 per pound to
$3.0.

Year

Housing and construction statistics were collected


and published by the Department of Labor until 1959
when the Department of Commerce assumed that
responsibility. The Bureau of the Census issues a variety
of publications providing data in these fields, including
Current Construction Reports, Housing Starts and
Housing Completions, New One Family Houses Sold
and for Sale, Price Indexes of New One-Family Houses
Sold, Housing Units Authorized by Building Permits,
Expenditures for Residential Upkeep and Improvements,
Value of New Construction Put in Place, and Current
Housing Reports. Other sources include the F. W. Dodge
division of McGraw-Hill, the National Association of
Home Builders, and the National Association of
Realtors. Censuses of the construction industry were

first conducted by the Bureau of the Census for 1929,


1935, and 1939; beginning in 1967, a census has been
taken every five years, in years ending in 2 and 7.

2
From 1850 to 1930, the Bureau of the Census collected some housing data as part of its censuses of population and agriculture. Beginning in 1940, separate censuses of housing have been taken at 10-year intervals.
Beginning in 1970, information on structural characteristics of housing have been included in the censuses.

In 1997, 631,595 businesses were involved in construction, with the total value of business equaling

SECTION 18: CONSTRUCTION AND HOUSING

273

$832.489 billion. In 2002, the value of new construction


was $860.923 billion, with private buildings and structures accounting for $650.495 billion of that amount (of
which $421.521 billion was for residential buildings).
Private construction included $265.889 billion worth of
single-family homes, up from $140.123 billion in 1993.
Educational construction saw the biggest increase, nearly tripling in value from $4.8 billion in 1993 to $13.0 billion in 2002.

2,400 ft. or more, 36 percent have more than four bedrooms, 68 percent are heated with gas, 87 percent have
central air conditioning, 58 percent have a fireplace, and
88 percent have a garage.

Blacks and Hispanics have a lower home ownership rate than Whites. White non-Hispanic home own-

Sales of new single-family homes rose to 973,000 in


2002 compared with 545,000 in 1980. Of these, 196,000
were luxury homes valued at $300,000 or more. Median
prices of new private one-family homes increased to
$187,500 nationwide, reversing a decade-old trend. The
prices are highest in the Northeast ($264,300) and lowest in the South ($163,400). The highest home prices are
found in San Francisco, Orange County, California, and
Boston, Massachusetts. The least expensive homes are
found in Beaumont/Port Arthur, Texas and
Buffalo/Niagara Falls and Syracuse, New York.

5 In 2001, the total number of housing units in the


United States was 119.117 million, of which 72.265 million were owner-occupied and 33.996 million were rented.

Home ownership is part of the American dream,


but as of 2002, only 67.9 percent of the population
achieved that dream. Home ownership is highest in
South Carolina (77.3 percent), Minnesota (77.3 percent), and West Virginia (77.0 percent). It is lowest in
Hawaii and New York because of the high cost of firsttime ownership.

7 In 2002, Americans spent $173.234 billion on home


improvement, maintenance, and repairs compared with
$46.338 billion in 1980. Average monthly mortgage payments jumped from $329 in 1976 to $804 in 2002, but
dropped from 24 percent of personal income to 18.5
percent during the same period of time.

Of the 1.325 million new one-family homes completed and sold in 2002, 37 percent have a floor space of

In 2000, the median rent for an apartment nationwide was $602, and 28.8 percent of the apartments had
a rent of $750 or more.

ership is 74.5 percent, while only 47.3 percent of Blacks


and 48.2 percent of Hispanics own homes in 2002. The
majority of Blacks and Hispanics live in apartments.

11
In 1998, 46.1 percent of home buyers were firsttime buyers whose down payment was only 12.8 percent
of the sale price.

12
In 1999, there were 4,657,000 commercial buildings in the United States, of which 327,000 were educational, 349,000 food service establishments, 127,000 hospitals and healthcare centers, 153,000 hotels and motels,
739,000 office buildings, 305,000 public assembly buildings, 603,000 warehouses, and 307,000 churches and religious worship centers.

13
In 2002, Allentown, PA had the highest vacancy
rate for office buildings (29.6 percent), while the lowest
rates were in Des Moines, IA, Honolulu, HI, and
Houston, TX (13.1 percent).

14
Although the quality of American housing has
steadily improved during the twentieth century, 1.673
million homes have no bathrooms, 920,000 have signs of
mice and rats, 1.168 million have holes in floors, 40,000
have no electrical wiring, and 9.667 million have water
leakages.

1Weighted

average of the various indexes used to deflate the Construction Put in Place series. In calculating the index, the weights (i.e., the composition of current dollar estimates in 1996 by
category) are held constant.

2Derived ratio of total current to constant dollar Construction Put in Place (multiplied by 100).
3Excludes value of site.
4Based on average contract unit bid prices for composite mile (involving specific average amounts of excavation, paving, reinforcing steel, structural steel, and structural concrete).
5Derived from the four quarterly indexes which are weighted averages of costs of labor, materials, and equipment for the construction of dams and reclamation projects.
6Based on firms cost experience with respect to labor rates, materials prices, competitive conditions, efficiency of plant and management, and productivity.
7Building construction index computed on the basis of a hypothetical unit of construction requiring 6 bbl. of portland cement, 1,088 M bd. ft. of 2x4 lumber, 2,500 lb. of structural steel,

and 68.38

hours of skilled labor. General construction index based on same materials components combined with 200 hours of common labor.
8Based on data covering public utility construction costs in six geographic regions. Covers skilled and common labor.
9As derived by U.S. Census Bureau. Covers steam generation plants only.
10As derived by U.S. Census Bureau. Reflects costs for structures and improvements at water pumping and treatment plants.
11Computed by the Census Bureau by averaging the weighted component indexes published for six geographic regions.

MANUFACTURING
Highlights

Manufacturing is defined as the mechanical or


chemical transformation of inorganic and organic substances into new products or the assembly of component parts of products. Manufacturing activities were
classified from 1947 through 1997 according to the
Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) Manual, published by the Office of Management and Budget. First
issued in 1939, it was revised in 1945, 1957, 1972, and
1987. Beginning in 1997, the SIC codes were replaced
with a new system called the North American Industry
Classification System (NAICS).

The basic source of data on manufactures has been


the Census of Manufactures conducted by the Bureau
of the Census, beginning in 1809. A census was taken at
10-year intervals thereafter until 1899 (with the exception of 1829), at five-year intervals from 1904 to 1919,
and biennially from 1921 to 1939. It was suspended during World War II but resumed in 1947. Legislation
enacted in 1948 provided for a Census of Manufactures
every five years with annual sample surveys for interim
years. The Annual Survey of Manufactures (ASM) is
based on a sample of 55,000 establishments out of an
approximate total of 200,000. The scope of the census
has varied from one census to another. From 1849 to
1899, the minimum size limit of factories was output
valued at $500 or more. It was raised to $5,000 or more
for 1929 to 1937. Beginning in 1947, the criterion was
employment of one or more persons at any time during
the census year. However, these changes have not
appreciably affected the historical comparability of the
census figures except for the data on the number of
establishments. There have also been numerous changes
in the definition of manufacturing industries. When the
changes result in the omission of an entire industry, the
adjustments are generally carried back through the previous censuses. Furthermore, the treatment of nonproduction workers has not been consistent over the years.
Personnel in manufacturing industries engaged in distribution and construction have been reported separately
since 1939, but not before. Officers of corporations are
included as employees, but not proprietors and partners
of unincorporated firms, for whom no data have been
collected since 1963. Another difference concerns value

added in manufacturing. The standard formula for calculating value added by manufacture since 1958 differs
from the one used for 1954 and previous years. Before
1958, value added by an establishment was calculated
by subtracting the cost of materials, supplies, containers,
fuels, electrical energy, and contract work from the
value of shipments. This was known as unadjusted value
added. Beginning in 1958, the formula was changed to
adjusted value added which includes two elements: (1)
value added by merchandising (the difference between
the sales value and the cost of merchandise sold without
further manufacture, processing, and assembly); and (2)
an adjustment in the net change in finished goods and
work-in-process inventories between the beginning and
the end of the year. This concept should not be confused with the National Income Originating in
Manufacturing, which is obtained by subtracting from
the value of shipments not only the cost of materials,
but also other costs such as depreciation charges, state
and local taxes, allowances for bad debts, and purchases
of services from nonmanufacturing enterprises (engineering and management consultants, advertising, telephone, insurance, royalties, patent fees, and so on). It is
therefore a net concept of value added in manufacturing and generally exceeds the latter by about a third.

The value added in manufacturing in 2001 was


$1.854 trillion, or $165,014 per worker, $82.96 per production worker hour, and $3.13 per dollar of wages.

The GDP in manufacturing in 2001 was $1.423 trillion, of which durable goods accounted for $813 billion
and nondurable goods for $610 billion. The largest manufacturing sectors in value were chemicals ($163.5 billion), industrial machinery ($148.2 billion), electronic
and electric equipment ($143.1 billion), food ($123.7 billion), motor vehicles and equipment ($111.4 billion),
and fabricated metal products ($100.8 billion).

In 2001, manufacturing employed 15.880 million


workers whose total wages amounted to $593.051 billion or $37,347 per worker ($17.96 per hour).

2For 18491933, cost

Statistics annual averages for employment in manufacturing indicates 1943 as the year of maximum employment, with 15,147,000 production workers.
of contract work was not subtracted from value of products in calculating value added by manufacture. For 19351953, value added by manufacture represents unadjusted
value added; beginning 1954, it represents adjusted value, which includes the change during the year in finished goods and work-in-process inventories.
3Except as noted, figures have been revised by retabulation of returns to exclude data for establishments classified as manufacturing in 1939 but not as nonmanufacturing beginning 1947. Value
added by manufacture in 1939, prior to revision and on a basis comparable with prior years, was $24.7 billion.
4Figures revised on basis of estimates rather than by retabulation of 1939 reports. Estimates made as follows: For nonproduction employees, by multiplying the retabulated figure for number of
production workers by the ratio of all employees to production workers computed from unrevised 1939 data;
for salaries and wages, by multiplying the retabulated wage figure by the ratio for salaries and wages also derived from the unrevised 1939 data.
5Excludes data for salaried officers of corporations and their salaries; therefore, not strictly comparable with figures for other years.

The first transportation agency in the United


States, the Office of Road Inquiry, was created in 1894,
to make inquiries in regard to the systems of road
management throughout the United States, to make
investigations in regard to the best methods of roadmaking, to prepare publications on this subject suitable
for publication. It was succeeded by the Office of
Public Roads and Rural Engineering in 1916 and by the
Bureau of Public Roads in 1918 (called Public Roads
Administration between 1939 and 1949). The Bureau
was transferred to the Department of Transportation in
1966 and its functions assigned to the Federal Highways
Administration. The first survey of highway mileage,
revenues, and expenditures was made in 1904, followed
by others in 1909 and 1914.

In 1912, Congress authorized $500,000 for an


experimental program of rural post road construction.
However, it was not until the Federal Aid Road Act of
1916 that the Federal-State Highway Program was
established on an ongoing basis. In 1921, Congress
authorized designation of a system of principal interstate and intercounty roads, limited to 7 percent of the
rural mileage then existing. The Federal Aid Highway
Act of 1944 specifically authorized the use of funds for
highways in urban areas. In addition, the Act provided
for the designation of a Federal-Aid secondary system
and a national system of interstate highways. Under
President Dwight Eisenhower, the Federal-Aid
Highway Act of 1956 established the goal of a 41,000mile interstate system, which forms the basis of the U.S.

SECTION 20: TRANSPORTATION

road transportation system today. In 1995, Congress


abolished the Federal-Aid Highway System and
replaced it with the National Highway System (NHS).
Roads are classified as (1) arterial highways, (2) collector facilities that link arterials and lower systems, and
(3) local roads.

The principal sources of highway and motor transport data are the Highway Statistics of the Federal
Highway Administration, the Transport Statistics of the
United States published by the Interstate Commerce
Commission, various surveys and censuses conducted
by the U.S. Bureau of the Census, the Factbook of the
U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration,
Motor Vehicle Facts and Figures published by the
Motor Vehicle Manufacturers Association, Accident
Facts published by the National Safety Council, and
Transportation in America published by the Eno
Foundation for Transportation.

The first federal highway was the Great National


Pike, also known as the Cumberland Road, which was
built in sections from 1806 to 1840 between
Cumberland, Maryland, and Vandalia, Illinois. The total
construction cost was $6.821 million.

The first hard-surfaced road in what is now the


United States was built by the Dutch in 1663. It ran for
100 miles from Pahaquarry Mines in New Jersey to
Kingston, New York. The first toll road was the Little
River Turnpike built in 1785 from Alexandria, Virginia,
to Snickers Gap, a pass through the Blue Ridge
Mountains leading to the Shenandoah Valley.

6 Of the total passenger traffic of 2.498 trillion passenger miles in 2001, private automobiles handled 1.938
trillion passenger miles, air public carriers 488 billion
passenger miles, buses 42 billion passenger miles, and
railroads 15 billion-passenger miles. Of the total freight
traffic of 3.733 trillion ton miles, railroads carried 1.558
trillion ton miles, trucks 1.051 trillion ton miles, and
inland waterways 494 billion ton miles.

In 1997, 11,089,733 tons of commodities were


shipped in the United States. Of these shipments, trucks
handled 7,700,675 tons, rail 1,549,817 tons, and inland
waterways 563,369 tons.

Transportation accidents and deaths are closely


monitored by the National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration. In 2001, there were 6,323,000 motor
vehicle accidents and 42,100 deaths, 2,987 railroad accidents and 548 deaths, 45 air carrier accidents and 531
deaths, 1,723 general aviation accidents and 563 deaths.

299

There were 7,740 recreational boating accidents in 2000


and 701 deaths, and in 1995, 14,327 rail rapid transit
accidents and 51 deaths.

The total highway mileage in the United States in


2001 was 3,948,335 miles, of which interstates accounted
for 46,467 miles, other arterial roads 379,790 miles, collector roads 793,374 miles, local roads 2,719,578 miles,
urban roads 877,004 miles, and rural roads 3,071,331
miles. The longest road system is in Texas (300,767
miles), followed by California (168,771 miles). By pavement condition, 35 percent of the roads are above average, 42 percent are average, and 23 percent are below
average.

10
Highways are generally paid for by issuing
bonds which are then redeemed by imposing tolls and
imposts on highway users. In 2000, imposts on highway
users totaled $132.324 billion, while total highway debt
outstanding was $96.383 billion.

11
In 2001, motor vehicle registrations totaled
230,428,000 of which automobiles (including taxicabs)
accounted for 137,633,000 and motorcycles 4,862,000.
California has the largest number of motor vehicles
(28.780 million). There were 8,082,000 new car sales in
2002 (5,854,000 of them domestic) and 9,036,000 new
truck sales. Foreign car manufacturers have captured
27.6 percent of the U.S. car market and 11.7 percent of
the truck market.

12
In 2000, 75.7 percent of the 128.3 million workers commuted alone by automobile to work, 12.2 percent carpooled, and only 4.7 percent used public transportation, while 3.3 percent worked at home. The average travel time to work was 25.5 minutes.

13
Roadway congestion measured in annual person hours of delay is 47,595 nationwide, costing $900
million in delay and fuel costs, or $505 per person. The
worst road congestion is in Los Angeles (791,970
hours), followed by New York (400,115 hours), Chicago
(221,300 hours), San Francisco (167,200 hours),
Washington, D.C. (123,190 hours), and Houston
(120,945 hours).

14
In 2001, there were 12.5 million motor vehicle
accidents, involving 13.6 million cars, 7.4 million trucks,
and 119,000 motor cycles. Fatalities numbered 42,100, of
which 20,200 were vehicle occupants, 4,900 were pedestrians, 3,200 were motorcyclists, and 700 bicyclists.
Traffic death rates have decreased significantly since
1972 from 26.2 to 14.8 per 100,000 population, from 44.5
to 19.0 per 100,000 registered vehicles, from 4.3 to 1.5

300

DATAPEDIA OF THE UNITED STATES

per 100 million vehicle miles, and from 46.1 to 22.0 per
100,000 licensed drivers. By state, Louisiana, Montana,
and South Carolina have the highest fatality rates at 2.3
per 100 million vehicle miles. In 2001, 21 percent of all
drivers involved in fatal crashes had blood alcohol concentrations exceeding 0.8 percent. Nearly 15,000 people
died in alcohol-related accidents.

15
The cost of operating an automobile has
increased from 14.4 cents per mile in 1975 to 50.2 cents

respectively. In 1982, the ICC adopted a procedure to


adjust the threshold for inflation on the basis of 1978
dollars.

North Carolina legislature in 1831. It ran for 59 miles
along the north bank of the Roanoke River from

first railroad for the commercial transportation of passengers and freight was the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad Company, incorporated in 1827.

sumption of a car and increase the average number of


miles per gallon. The domestic motor fuel consumption
in 2001 was 163.0 billion gallons, up from 92.3 billion
gallons in 1970. The annual average fuel consumption in
2001 was 73.3 billion gallons for cars, 1.0 billion gallons
for buses, 35.3 billion gallons per truck, and 53.3 billion
gallons for vans, pickups, and SUVs. The average miles
per gallon for cars increased from 13.5 miles in 1970 to
22.1 miles in 2001.

17
In 2001, U.S. cars traveled a total of 1.6 trillion
miles, buses 7.0 billion miles, trucks 208 billion miles,
and vans, pickups, and SUVs 938 billion miles. The average annual car mileage is 11,800.

18
In 2001, there were 6,000 mass transit systems
(including 2,264 motor bus systems) carrying 9.653 million people. Buses carried 5.849 billion, heavy rail 2.728
billion, light rail 336 million, and commuter rail 419 million. There were 12 Class I Intercity motor carriers
(down from 48 in 1980). Their operating revenue
declined from $1.397 billion in 1980 to $1.076 billion.

19
In 2002, the trucking industry had a fleet of
212,000 trucks and 958,000 truck-tractors with revenues
of $157.215 billion.

20
Railroad companies reporting to the Interstate
Commerce Commission (ICC) are divided into four
groups: (1) regular line-haul; (2) switching and terminal;
(3) private or circular (because they are reported on
brief circulars); and (4) unofficial. Data on the last three
groups are excluded from official statistics. Beginning in
1911, the ICC also divided regular line-haul railroads
into Class I, II, and III. Initially, Class I had revenues of
more than $1 million, Class II had revenues between
$100,000 and $1 million, and Class III had revenues
under $100,000. In 1978, the categories were redefined
with thresholds for Classes I, II, and III raised to $50
million, $10 to $50 million, and below $10 million

23

U.S. railroads have downsized in the last decade,


resulting in only nine Class I railroads with 162,000
employees (compared with 23 Class I railroads with
302,000 employees in 1985). The total rail line mileage
in 2001 was 119,000 railroad line owned and 204,000
railroad track owned. Railroads had operating revenues
of $34.576 billion (of which freight generated $33.533
billion) and operating expenditures of $29.164 billion,
leaving a net income of $2.740 billion. AMTRAK carried 23.4 billion passengers and had a revenue of $1.299
billion.

24
The principal sources of information on water
transportation are Waterborne Commerce of the United
States issued by the Corps of Engineers of the
Department of the Army; Merchant Fleets of the World
issued by the U.S. Maritime Administration; The
Bulletin issued by the American Bureau of Shipping;
and World Fleet Statistics issued by Lloyds Register of
Shipping. Historical statistics on merchant shipping are
found in a variety of sources, including Merchant
Marine Statistics, 19241965, Congressional Documents,
such as Decadence of American Shipping and
Compulsory Pilotage, 17891882, publications of the
Maritime Commission, especially Ocean-Going
Merchant Fleets of Principal Maritime Nations, and the
censuses of water transportation conducted by the
Bureau of the Census and its predecessors. The first
census for 1880 was limited to steam vessels (excluding
fishing vessels) and those of 1916 and 1926 provided
data for all vessels over 5 tons. Changes in maritime law
on admeasurement (a determination or comparison of
measurements) of gross tonnage have also affected the
data. Gross tonnage is a measurement of space, not
weight, in which 100 cubic feet (95 cubic feet before
1865) equals one ton. Also, an act in 1874 excluded

SECTION 20: TRANSPORTATION


canal boats and unrigged tonnage from the totals. Other
measurements used over the years included duty tonnage (tonnage on which duties were collected), district
tonnage (reported by district collectors of customs),
registered tonnage, and net tonnage.

25
The United States has six major waterways systems: the Atlantic intracoastal waterway, the Great
Lakes, the Gulf intercoastal waterway, the Mississippi
River system, the Columbia River, and the Snake River.
The Mississippi River with 714.8 million tons accounts
for more than two-thirds of the total freight carried in
these systems.

26
In 2000, the global merchant fleet consisted of
28,259 vessels with weights over 1,000 gross tons, of
which 463 are registered in the United States. Of the
463 ships, 154 are tankers, and 11 are cruise ships.

27
The output of U.S. shipyards has been falling
since 1970, bringing shipbuilding, one of the oldest
industrial activities in the United States, to the verge of
extinction. In 1999, private shipyards employed 99,900
workers compared with 178,000 in 1980 and had only
five ships under construction, compared with 69 in 1980.

28
Only scattered data on air transportation are
available for the years before 1926. Regular collection
of national statistics began with the establishment in
that year of an Aeronautical Branch in the Department
of Commerce. The Civil Aeronautics Act of 1938 created the Civil Aeronautics Authority, reorganized in 1940
into two separate entities: The Civil Aeronautics Board
and the Civil Aeronautics Administration. In 1958, the
latters functions were transferred to the Federal
Aviation Agency, which, in turn, was made a part of the
Department of Transportation and renamed the Federal
Aviation Administration (FAA). The FAAs annual
Statistical Handbook of Civil Aviation is the principal
source of data in this field. Air Transportation data are
also presented annually in Air Transport Facts and
Figures, published by the Air Transport Association of
America. A major development in 1978 was the Airline
Deregulation Act which encouraged competition among
airlines and also blurred the distinction between domestic and international operators.

301

$106.788 billion and operating expenditures were


$115.348 billion, leaving a net profit of -$11,285 billion.
The airline industry employed 601.400 persons, including 67,500 pilots.

30
In 2002, Atlantas Hartsfield International
Airport topped OHare Airport in Chicago as the airport where the most passengers enplaned. In order, the
cities with top airports in passengers
enplaned after Atlanta and Chicago are: Dallas/Fort
Worth, Los Angeles, Denver, Phoenix, Las Vegas,
Minneapolis, Detroit, Houston, Seattle-Tacoma,
Orlando, St Louis, San Francisco, Newark, Charlotte,
New York La Guardia, and Cincinatti.

31
There are only two major players in the aircraft
industry: Boeing and McDonnell Douglas. In 2002,
Boeing was the larger with 158 orders for civil jet transport aircraft; McDonnell Douglas had 16.

32
In 2000, there were 56 aircraft accidents, and 92
fatalities.
33
In 2001, there were 19,306 airports in the
United States, of which 13,990 were private airports. In
2000, there were 217,533 active aircraft, of which 7,935
were owned by air carriers. Of the 612,274 pilots, commercial pilots numbered 120,502. Women make up only
5.6 percent of all pilots.

34
In 2002, U.S. aircraft shipments totaled 2,926
units worth $40.5 billion. Of these, large transports
numbered 275, general aviation aircraft 1,895, and helicopters 420.

35
The percentage of on-time arrivals and departures in U.S. airports has been steadily improving. The
national average was 82.7 percent for the former and
85.5 percent for the latter in the fourth quarter of 2002.
Denver led in both areas at 89.6 percent and 91.3 percent respectively.

Communication systems are regulated primarily by


the Federal Communications Commission and also by
the Interstate Commerce Commission. The bulk of the
regional telephone services are provided by the socalled Baby Bells, but the telecommunications industry
has been transformed beyond recognition by new communications technology. There is no longer any distinction between local and regional providers and carriers
and national ones, and all communications companies
are engaged not only in telephones, but in video,
Internet, satellites, data transmission, cellulars, interactives and a host of other new services. AT&T continues
to be the largest communications company, closely followed by MCI (owned by Worldcom) and Sprint. Until
the 1980s, AT&T was a virtual monopoly, controlling

virtually all local and interstate facilities and services.


Through Western Union, it controlled production facilities as well. The number of companies within AT&T
(known as American Bell Telephone Company until
1900) varied from time to time. At its peak in 1915/1916,
it included 39 companies, but subsequent consolidations
reduced it to 25. At the time of its breakup, it included
21 totally owned and controlled regional companies
(AT&T owned 100 percent of the outstanding shares,
although these companies operated under their own
names), one subsidiary of one of these regional companies, two companies in which it had substantial minority
interests (Cincinnati Bell and Southern New England
Telephone Company), Bell Telephone Laboratories, and
Western Electric Company.

SECTION 21: COMMUNICATIONS

An interesting footnote in the history of U.S. communications is the story of the rise and fall of Western
Union Telegraph. Founded in 1851 as the New York and
Mississippi Valley Printing and Telegraph Company, it
emerged within a few decades as the sole telegraph
company in the United States. Western Union developed close contractual ties with the railways, constructing telegraph pole lines along railroad rights-of-way and
using railroad stations and personnel for pickup and
delivery of telegraph messages. Western Unions most
serious rival was the Postal Telegraph which was
acquired in the 1880s by Mackays Commercial Cable
Company (later IT&T). Postal Telegraph merged with
the Western Union in 1943, but shortly thereafter telegraph was rendered obsolete by other modern forms of
communication.

Another nineteenth century technological breakthrough that became obsolete was the submarine cable.
The first successful cable linking North America with
Europe was laid in 1866. The first telegraph rate on
cable (presumably from New York to London) was $100
for 100 words. Subsequently, it was reduced, first to $50
and later to $25. By 1868, the rate had fallen to $15.75
and by 1885 to $4.00. By 1916, the New York to London
rate was $.17 cents per word. Radio was not a significant factor in overseas communication until the Radio
Corporation of America entered the field as successor
to the Marconi Company, which was the first company
to utilize and market the invention of wireless.

Among all forms of communications, federal control has been most effective in radio and television. In
1912, the Department of Commerce was given authority
to license radio equipment, operators and broadcast stations, which began operation in 1921. On February 23,
1927, Congress established the Federal Radio
Commission; its powers were transferred to the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC) in 1934.

Statistics on radio and television are provided in


the annual reports of the FCC as well as its Statistics of
the Communications Industry. Unlike the telephone and
telegraph, radio and television are not common carriers
(public utilities that are subject to strict government
supervision) and therefore are not subject to rate or
earnings regulation. Statistics on radio and television
broadcasting stations are presented in terms of licensed
and authorized stations, the former generally referring
to operating stations. FM radio was authorized as a regular service in 1941; in the same year the first commercial station was licensed. Noncommercial FM is a separate service with a specific spectrum allocation.
Television was first authorized on a regular commercial
basis on July 1, 1941, and two stations in New York were
the first to begin operations. Time series broadcast

333

advertising were first developed by L. D. H. Weld of


McCann-Erickson Advertising Agency and continued
after his death in 1946 by Hans Zeisel and others.

The first mail service was started in the Colonies in


1673 between New York and Boston, a distance of 260
miles. The trip took two weeks on horseback; much of
that time was spent waiting for ferries. Mail was not
inexpensive. At a time when a decent days wage was 50
cents, a letter from New York to Philadelphia cost $3.50,
and from New York to Williamsburg, Virginia, $11.50.
The first postage rates were fixed by the Continental
Congress in 1782. In the early days the recipient rather
than the sender paid the postage. In 1847, postage
stamps were introduced, and in 1885, compulsory prepayment for all domestic letter mail was established.
Postcards were introduced in 1898. It was not until 1863
that mail was divided into classes. Local rates were
often improvised because no one knew for sure how
much it cost to transport mail. The first letter rate on
the Pony Express (which operated between Missouri
and California during 1860 and 1861) was $5 for a half
ounce; it was later reduced to $2 and then $1. Rates
continued to fall well into the twentieth century, reaching their lowest in 1928 and 1946 when a first-class
postage stamp cost only 5 cents. Postage rates have
been rising since then, while telephone rates have done
the opposite. In 1915, it cost $20.70 to call New York
from San Francisco, but only 5 cents to mail a letter; in
1999, it cost only 7 cents for the same long distance call
(for one minute), but 33 cents to mail a letter.

Since 1970, contrary to popular perceptions and


prejudices against snail mail, the U.S. Postal Service
has become one of the most efficient and productive
businesses in the nation. Although the number of post
offices is down from 30,754 in 1975 to 27,791 in 2002,
the number of pieces of mail handled grew from 89.3
billion to 202.8 billion, the number of employees from
667,000 to 854,000, and operating revenues from
$19.253 billion to $66.463 billion during the same period.

A book has never been properly defined, but


according to the United Nations Educational, Scientific,
and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) it is any printed
and bound publication longer than 49 pages that is not
a periodical. Book publishing statistics, compiled from a
number of sources, are not strictly comparable over
time and may vary depending on what is included as
well as what is excluded. The legal requirement of copyright and deposit of copies with the Library of Congress
ensures that the publication of the vast majority of
books is documented. The International Standard Book
Number (ISBN) system also has the same effect,
although compliance is voluntary.

In 2001, book publishers employed 89,700 paid


employees, with an annual payroll of $4,803 million. The
book title output, the most important industry indicator,
has increased from 46,738 in 1990 to 96,080 in 2000. The
subjects with most titles are sociology and economics
(12,039), fiction (11,808), science (7,140), history (6,948),
religion (5,086), and medicine (4,817). Average hardcover prices have gone up from $24.64 in 1980 to $60.80 in
2000 and trade paperback prices from $8.60 to $29.48.

10
Slightly different trends are found in the newspaper and periodical publishing industry. The number of
daily newspapers declined from 1,744 in 1980 to 1,507 in
2000, although the number of periodicals increased
from 10,236 to 13,846 during the same period. Fewer
people read newspapers in 2002 than in 1970. Total circulation of dailies has fallen from 62.1 million to 55.2
million during this period. In per capita terms, the circulation has fallen from 0.30 to 0.19. Per capita circulation
is highest in Virginia (0.43) and lowest in Maryland and
Georgia (0.11).

11

Total advertising expenditures in all media were


$237.4 billion in 2002. The share of each medium is
determined by the nature of the special audience that is
being addressed. The highest is television at 24.3 percent, followed by direct mail (19.3 percent), newspapers
(18.7 percent), radio (8.0 percent), the Yellow Pages
(5.8 percent), magazines (4.6 percent), and business
papers (1.8 percent).

12
The total value of recording media shipments
(including CDs, cassettes, and albums) was $12.614 billion in 2002, down from $14.585 billion in 1999.

13
Deregulation of the telecommunications industry has encouraged competition. In 2002, there were
5,364 service providers (including 2,905 local service
providers) and the gross sectoral revenue had grown to
$294.4 billion. That same year, there were 253 million
access lines handling 515 billion local calls and 98 billion toll calls. International calls numbered 6.265 billion.
The telecommunications industry had operating revenues in 2001 of $264.1 billion and operating expenses
of $232.9 billion leaving, a net revenue of $31.121 billion.

14
There were 2,481 cellular telephone systems
with 140.8 million subscribers in 2002.
15
The United States is fast approaching total saturation in the utilization of all media. In 2001, access to
telephones was 94.6 percent, radio 99.0 percent, and television 98.2 percent. Cable is behind at 68.0 percent,
computers 56.5 percent, and Internet access 50.5 percent.

2The 1940 rate change provided

that the three-cent letter rate was not to apply to first-class matter for local delivery or for delivery within a county with a population of more than 1 million people
if it was entirely within a corporate city.

3Government postal cards first authorized in 1872.


4A uniform rate regardless of distance, a free city delivery

service, and a letter unit of 1/2 ounce instead of the former "single letter" were inaugurated.

Year

Data on the production of electric energy have


been available since the beginning of the first commercial production in 1882, but because of the changing
bases of measurement and variations in coverage, the
information is difficult to evaluate for the years before
1920. The Bureau of the Census conducted censuses of
the light and power industries at five-year intervals
from 1902 to 1937. The Electrical World (McGraw-Hill)
and the National Electric Light Association also published considerable data on this early period. Early data
on capacity have to be converted from horsepower (hp)
to kilowatts (kW) to be comparable. Data on generation also were often reported without allowance for
kWh used in generation, and end uses were reported by
appliances (such as lamps) rather than as kWh. These
variations in measurements, classification, and coverage
often resulted in differences as high as 25 percent.

Generators in mobile equipment, such as ships, railroads, and barges, are also unaccounted for in the totals.

The principal sources of data on energy are the


Energy Information Administration, the Edison Electric
Institute, and the American Gas Association. Among
the EIA annuals are Annual Energy Review, Electric
Power Annual, Natural Gas Annual, Petroleum Supply
Annual, State Energy Data Report, State Energy Price
and Expenditure Report, Financial Statistics of Selected
Electric Utilities, Performance Profiles of Major Energy
Producers, Annual Energy Outlook, and International
Energy Annual. The Edison Electric Institute produces
the Statistical Yearbook of Electric Utility Industry and
the Year-End Summary of the Electric Power Situation
in the United States while the American Gas Association
published Gas Facts.

SECTION 22: ENERGY

Energy data were presented formerly in widely


varying units, but increasingly are being converted to a
common thermal unit, the Btu (British Thermal Unit).
A Btu is the amount of energy required to raise the
temperature of 1 pound of water 1 degree Fahrenheit at
or near 39.2 degrees F. The conversion factors are as follows:
Production
Petroleum (barrel)
5.800 million Btu
Coal (short ton)
21.278 million Btu
Natural Gas (cubic feet) 1,028 Btu
Nuclear Power (kWh) 10,676 Btu
Geothermal Power (kWh) 20,914 Btu
Fossil Fuel (kWh)
10,272 Btu

Consumption
5.586 million Btu
20.852 million Btu
1,028 Btu
10,676 Btu
20,914 Btu
10,272 Btu

Of the total consumption of 96.95 quadrillion Btu


in 2001, 39.7 percent is derived from petroleum, 24.1
percent from natural gas, 22.8 percent from coal, 8.3
percent from nuclear power, and 5.9 percent from
renewable sources, such as hydroelectric, geothermal,
and bio fuels. The United States is more or less self-sufficient in the major energy sources except petroleum, of
which it imports 20.26 quadrillion Btu.

347

In 1997, the average single-family detached home


consumed 102 million Btu at a cost of $1,338 per year.
Of total consumption, natural gas accounted for 5.28
quadrillion Btu, electricity for 3.54 quadrillion Btu, and
fuel oil for 1.07 quadrillion Btu.

The United States has had a negative trade balance


in both natural gas and crude oil since 1970. Crude oil
imports reached 3.336 billion barrels in 2002 compared
with 483 million barrels in 1970. Of the total imports
OPEC countries supply 1.490 billion barrels and nonOPEC countries supply 1.846 billion barrels.

10
There are 104 nuclear power plants located in
the United States in 31 states. Illinois has the most with
11. Total generation of electric power is 768.8 billion
kWh or 20.7 percent of total. The United States
accounts for slightly less than one-fourth of the 436
nuclear plants worldwide.

11
Electric utilities generate 3.839 trillion kWh and
sell 3.471 trillion kWh. Of total generation, 36.5 percent
goes to residential customers.

The share of coal in both production and consumption has shown remarkable growth. Its production has
increased from 14.61 quadrillion Btu in 1970 to 23.44
quadrillion Btu, and its consumption from 12.27
quadrillion Btu to 21.93 quadrillion Btu. Other alternative forms of energy, once touted as the wave of the
future, have yet to make an impact on the energy picture.

12
In 2001, the gas utility industry had 64,792,000
customers, (of which 59,729,000 were residential), sales
of 8.565 quadrillion Btu, and revenues of $71.73 billion.

13
The Strategic Petroleum Reserve grew from 7.6
million barrels in 1977 to 599 million barrels in 2002,
equivalent to 53 days of crude oil imports.

By end-use consumption, residential and commercial use account for 38.8 percent of total energy, industrial use for 33.6 percent, and transportation for 27.6
percent in 2001.

Energy prices rose steeply from 1970 to 1985, but


have stabilized since then. The average fuel price per
million Btu was $1.65 in 1970, $8.40 in 1985, and $9.85
in 2000.

14
Solar collectors have yet to realize their potential as inexpensive energy producers. The number of
solar collector manufacturers dropped from a high of
225 in 1984 to 26 in 2001, and total shipments declined
from 17,191,000 square feet to 11,189,000 square feet.

15
Developed water power in the United States
generated 275.573 million kWh in 2000. The Pacific
region produced one-half of the total.

The Survey of Current Business, issued by the
Bureau of Economic Analysis, is the principal source of
data on domestic trade and services. Financial data
relating to this sector appears in the Statistics of Income
published by the Internal Revenue Service. Censuses of
retail and wholesale trade have been taken at various
intervals since 1929. Limited coverage of service industries started in 1933. Beginning with the 1967 Census,
legislation provided that a census of each area be conducted every five years, in years ending with 2 or 7. The
industries covered in the censuses and surveys are classified in the three divisions defined in the Standard
Industrial Classification Manual: retail trade, wholesale
trade, and services. The purview of the censuses has varied over the years so that some of the data is incomparable over time. Since 1954, data for nonemployer
establishments have been published separately, and

establishments with no paid employees are excluded


from wholesale trade. Since 1977, sales taxes and
finance charges have been excluded from sales figures.
After 1987, the number of establishments was defined
as those in business at any time during the year, rather
than at the end of the year as defined previously.
Starting in 1987, hospitals are included among services,
but government operated services are excluded. In 1982
and 1987, data were not collected from educational
institutions nor from services run by labor unions or
political organizations. Beginning in 1982, each leased
department in a store was classified separately, rather
than consolidated with the store as before. Current
retail and wholesale trade data appear in the Monthly
Retail Trade Report and the Monthly Wholesale Trade
Report respectively.

SECTION 23: DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICES

In 1990, the share of GDP of retail and wholesale


trade was 15.2 percent, and by 2001 it had reached 16
percent. The share of services has gone up from 18.5
percent to 22.1 percent. Among services, the largest sectors in dollar value are health services ($589.8 billion),
business services ($544.1 billion), and legal services
($145.6 billion).

Retail trade is the most visible and ubiquitous of


all businesses. In 2001, there were 1.12 million of them,
divided as follows:
Building materials and hardware
94,100
Department stores
10,400
Other merchandise stores
30,800
Food stores
156,200
Automotive dealers and service stations 125,700
Clothing and apparel stores
151,700
Drug stores
40,000
Liquor stores
28,600
Sporting goods
43,200
Book, periodical, and music stores
21,300
Jewelry stores
29,800
Electronics and appliance stores
47,700
Retail trade employed 14.89 million people with a payroll of $314.8 billion. The annual gross sales revenues of
retail establishments were $3,245.4 billion. Retail sales
per capita were $11,254 in 2002. Wholesale trade had
438,900 establishments, 6.142 million employees, and a
payroll of $275.9 billion.

In terms of annual sales, automotive dealers lead


with $732.3 billion in 2002, followed by food and beverage stores ($490.8 billion), eating and drinking places
($334.6 billion), department stores ($225.9 billion), and
drug stores ($153 billion).

361

The 23,900 supermarkets in the United States have


sales of $354.5 billion and account for 80.2 percent of all
food sales.

Of the $112.3 billion worth of alcoholic beverages


sold in 2002, 38.5 percent was consumed in bars, taverns,
and restaurants.

U.S. mail order sales reached $109.5 billion in 2001,


of which e-commerce accounted for 23.5 percent.

In 2002, there were 46,438 shopping centers in the


United States, with 5,774 million square feet of gross
leasable area and retail sales of $1.277 trillion.
California has the most gross leasable area, with 725
million square feet, followed by Florida with 461 and
Texas with 390.

In 2001, there were 4,386,000 service-related establishments. Health services are the most numerous with
671,000 firms.

10
The growth of the computer industry is reflected in the number of information technology establishments. In 2000, there were 5,596,000 establishments with
nearly $800 billion in gross domestic income.

INTERNATIONAL
TRANSACTIONS AND
FOREIGN COMMERCE
Highlights

The first edition of the Statistical Abstract of the


United States, published in 1879, was almost wholly
devoted to foreign trade and shipping. Data on imports
of gold, silver coins, and bullion took up 11 of its 154
pages and nearly 100 pages were devoted to imports
and exports. The section on exports showed that the
major U.S. exports were raw cotton and wheat, which
together accounted for 38 percent of all exports. In the
early years of the republic, international trade and
transactions loomed large in the public economy and
received considerable attention from statisticians,
because at that time the United States was more heavily
dependent on foreign markets than it has been in the
twentieth century. Records of foreign trade have been
kept by the Treasury Department since August 1, 1789
(in a more or less complete fashion), although they do
not show the value of commerce with each country.
However, Edward Ely, author of International Trade
Statistics, observes that the United States may be said to
have an adequate set of import and export statistics
only since about 1821. No information was compiled on
the amounts of articles that were imported free of duty
or on imports subject to specific rates of duty. The total
dollar value of imports from 1795 to 1801 was apparently estimated by the Secretary of the Treasury, and the
figures for 1790 to 1794 and from 1802 to 1820 were
apparently estimated many years later. The adequacy of
these early records, of course, depends on the use made
of them. Some of the earliest records were not published officially, and scholars have had to rely on other
sources, particularly, A View of the United States of
America by Tench Coxe, A Statistical Manual of the
United States of America by Samuel Blodgett Jr., A
Statistical View of Commerce of the United States of
America by Timothy Pitkin, and the History of
Domestic and Foreign Commerce of the United States by
Emory Johnson.

Foreign trade data are subject to a variety of special statistical problems. The record of gold movements,
in particular, has been subject to considerable error
because of smuggling. The Civil War introduced two
special difficulties. Because the ports of the Southern
States stopped furnishing reports to the Treasury in
1861, exports of cotton are based on estimates derived
from records of recipient countries. A second difficulty
was introduced in 1862 when the United States abandoned its specie backing (dollars of a fixed parity to
gold) for money. The dollar fluctuated against foreign
currencies and gold with each reverse or success of the
Northern forces. While exports or re-exports continued
to be valued in specie, domestic exports were recorded
in mixed values from 1862 until the resumption of
specie payment in 1879. A third problem affecting the
comparability of trade statistics arose between 1934 and
1953, when the foreign exchange value of the dollar was
allowed to depreciate as a result of the restriction
placed on gold shipments to foreign countries. World
War II introduced such complications as Lend-Lease,
surplus property disposal after the war, and economic
and military aid.

In 1820, Congress established the Division of


Commerce and Navigation in the Register of the
Treasury. Collectors of Customs were required to compile and transmit annual reports to that office on trade
and navigation with foreign countries. Beginning in
1821, these reports were consolidated and published
annually in Commerce and Navigation of the United
States. In 1866, Congress established the Bureau of
Statistics and charged it with the collection of data on
all articles imported, exported or re-exported classified
by countries of destination. Since 1866, monthly trade
statistics have been published in addition to annual
data.

Balance of international payments data for the


period from 1790 to 1918 are derived basically from private authors. They illustrate U.S. foreign relations, territorial expansion, immigration and the cost of wars and
the Civil War. For example, $600,000 was paid between
1794 and 1796 to the Barbary pirates; $11.2 million was
paid to France in 1803 for the Louisiana Purchase; $15
million was given to Mexico between 1849 and 1852 for
territory now constituting Arizona, New Mexico,
California, Nevada, Utah, and Colorado; $10 million
was paid to Mexico between 1854 and 1856 for the
Gadsden Purchase; $7.1 million was given to Russia in
1869 for Alaska; and $20 million was paid to Spain in
1898 for the Philippines, Guam, and Puerto Rico.
Similarly, the United States received $5.5 million from
France between 1836 and 1838 as indemnity for losses
suffered during the Napoleonic Wars, as well as $15.5
million from Great Britain for losses suffered from
British privateers during the Civil War. After World War
II, the United States became a grantor, providing extensive grants and credits to its allies in the Cold War. Data
for foreign aid programs are presented by the Agency
for International Development.

Exports and imports constitute the backbone of


foreign trade. The Bureau of the Census compiles
export data primarily from the Shippers Export
Declarations that are required to be filed with customs

officials for shipments leaving the United States. Import


data are compiled from various required customs forms
as well. The data suffer from serious underreporting
because of the exclusion of low-valued shipments
exported and imported. For exports, the minimum is
$2,500 and for imports it is $1,250. Data for shipments
below these limits are estimated, and such estimates
may have a wide margin of error. Low value shipments
are believed to represent less than 2.5 percent of U.S.
exports and 4 percent of U.S. imports. Since 1982,
import prices have been based on customs values and
export prices on f.a.s. (free alongside ship) values at the
U.S. port of export.

Since 1983, foreign assets in the United States have


exceeded U.S. assets abroad by a considerable margin.
In 2001, foreign assets in the United States exceeded $9
trillion, and U.S. assets abroad were $6.863 trillion at
market value. Similarly, the United States runs a deficit
on current accounts in international transactions, with
exports worth $1.230 trillion and imports of $1.652 trillion. Generally, the United States has a negative balance
in transactions with almost all countries and areas.
Exceptions are Belgium-Luxembourg and the
Netherlands. The United States has a shortfall in merchandise trade, which is partially offset by a surplus on
net private service transactions and travel and transportation receipts.

DATAPEDIA OF THE UNITED STATES

Foreign direct investment in the United States rose


from $83 billion in 1980 to $403.7 billion in 1990 and
$811.756 billion in 1998. The United Kingdom is the
largest single direct investor in the United States with
$269.321 billion, followed by Germany ($164.017 billion), the Netherlands ($157.596 billion), Japan
($150.008 billion), France ($148.282 billion), Switzerland
($118.447 billion), Luxembourg ($34.111 billion),
Ireland ($24.958 billion), Australia ($22.289 billion), and
Sweden ($22.011 billion).

Of U.S. foreign investment of $1,520.965 billion in


2002, Europe accounted for over 52 percent. Latin
America accounted for 17.9 percent, Africa for 1.0 percent, the Middle East for 0.9 percent, and Asia and the
Pacific for 17.7 percent.

Between 1966 and 2002, the United States extended over $350 billion as grants and credits to foreign
countries. Grants and credits to Western Europe, the
Western hemisphere, and the Pacific have tapered off
since the 1980s, while those to Eastern Europe, Near
East and South Asia, and Africa increased. In 2002,
grants and credits to Western Europe were $104 million,
Eastern Europe $1,464 million, Near East and South
Asia $5,656 million, Africa $2,015 million, Far East and
Pacific $141 million, and Western Hemisphere $704 million.

10

Total economic and military aid in 2000 totaled


$16.943 billion, of which economic aid accounted for
$11.740 billion and military aid for $3.679 billion.

11
Israel receives the most military and economic
aid from the United States. In 2000, military aid totaled
$3.12 billion and economic aid $949.1 million. Israel
received 60 percent of all military assistance and 8.1
percent of all economic assistance granted by the
United States. Egypt also receives heavy military and
economic assistance: $1.3 billion of the former and
$741.4 million of the latter.

12
The United States has always maintained a
healthy balance in services, unlike in merchandise trade.
In 2002, it had a balance of $64.834 billion in services. In
merchandise trade, however, it had a surplus in trade in
agricultural products of $12.7 billion, but a massive
deficit of $368.8 billion in manufactured goods and
$105.4 billion in mineral fuels.

13

Texas leads all states in exports with $95.396 billion, followed by California ($92.214 billion), New York
($36.977 billion), Washington ($34.627 billion),
Michigan ($33.755 billion), Ohio ($27.723 billion),
Illinois ($25.686 billion), Florida ($24.544 billion),
Louisiana ($17.567 billion), and New Jersey ($17.002
billion).

14
California also leads in agricultural exports with
$8.698 billion, followed by Texas ($3.333 billion), Iowa
($3.259 billion), Kansas ($3.099 billion), Illinois ($3.057
billion), and Nebraska ($2.915 billion).

As President Coolidge allegedly said, The business of America is business. This business is conducted
by more than 20 million firms, but data on the total
number and size distribution of firms must be used with
caution. There has never been a satisfactory definition
of a firm, and the boundary between self-employment
and a firm is tenuous at best. In addition, there are
problems with inactive or partly active firms and seasonal firms. This problem is compounded when an effort
is made to group firms into industrial categories whose
boundaries are arbitrary and too tidy for real life. There
are activities that defy known categories. Because small
firms dominate the business landscape and because
many small firms are on the boundary line, a slight difference in method may generate a considerable change
in the total. If, however, the focus is on activity and out-

put rather than number, then the unequal size distribution of firms becomes a statistical advantage because it
permits a more efficient sample design at lower cost.
Similarly, mergers and acquisitions, changes in public
taste, and cyclical economic fluctuations all help to distort the structural profile of American business in ways
of which statisticians may not be aware.

The principal sources of business data are official


and nonofficial. Official sources include the Survey of
Current Business published by the Bureau of Economic
Analysis and the Statistics of Income produced by the
Internal Revenue Service. Unofficial sources include
publications of Dun & Bradstreet, including Business
Failure Record.

Productivity is the ratio of output to input


expressed in a number of ways. The most common is
output per unit of labor. Work in the field of productivity is carried on by many organizations, particularly the
Bureau of Labor Statistics and the National Bureau of
Economic Research. Labor productivity also reflects
the state of the technology, availability of capital and
physical resources, efficiency of management, quality of
training, and other factors. Productivity may be affected
by the specific year chosen as the weight base, because
items that increase most in volume output are those
with price declines or lower price increases. Productivity
series also suffer from certain statistical limitations,
because they do not measure the quality of the output.

Copyright, or that body of exclusive rights granted


to authors by law, is the oldest of such protective
statutes for intellectual property. The first U.S. copyright
law of 1790 applied only to maps, charts, and books.
Amendments extended the protection to prints (1802);
musical compositions (1831); dramatic compositions
(1856); photographs (1865); paintings, drawings, sculpture, and models or designs for works of fine arts
(1870); performed music (1897); motion pictures and
photoplays (1912); performance rights in nondramatic
literary works (1952); and electronic books (1978). The
original term of copyright was 15 years, with the privilege of renewal for another 14. In 1831, the first term
was increased to 28 years, and in 1909, the second term

SECTION 26: PRODUCTIVITY AND TECHNOLOGICAL DEVELOPMENT

was also increased to 28 years. Under current copyright


law, works are protected for the authors life plus 70
years after the authors death; for works made for hire,
the duration of the copyright is 95 years from publication or 120 years from creation, whichever is shorter.
Before 1891, only residents or citizens of the United
States could obtain copyrights. The International
Copyright Act of 1891 extended the privilege to citizens
of other countries with which the United States had
reciprocal copyright agreements, as well as to countries
which adhered to international copyright conventions
(such as the Universal Copyright Convention of 1952)
to which the United States was also a party.

A patent is a grant by the government to an inventor and his or her heirs of the right to exclude others
from making, using, or selling the invention without
proper authorization. Patents may be obtained for any
new and useful machine, composition of matter, or
process, subject to the requirements of law. Since 1946,
inventions used solely in the utilization of fissionable
materials have been unpatentable. Patents have been
issued by the federal government since 1790. The first
body in charge of issuing patents (known as the Patent
Board, or the Patent Commission, or the Commission
for the Promotion of Useful Arts) had three members:
Thomas Jefferson, Henry Knox, and Edmund
Randolph. The responsibility for administering patent
laws was vested in the Department of State. The first
U.S. patent was issued to Samuel Hopkins of Vermont
on July 31, 1790, for a process for making potash and
pearl ashes. The patent bore the signatures of George
Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and Edmund Randolph.
Only three patents were issued in the first year. In 1833,
the head of the Patent Office recommended to
President Andrew Jackson that his office be abolished
because everything that could possibly be invented has
already been invented. From 1790 to 1861, the term of
a patent was 14 years. After 1861, it could be extended
for an additional seven years. Since 1861, the term of a
patent on an invention has been fixed at 17 years, with
extensions possible only by a special act of Congress.
Patents are numbered serially, beginning with the first
patent issued after the Patent Act of July 4, 1836.

4 The Federal Trademark Law of 1870 was based on


the patent and copyright clause of the Constitution,
instead of the interstate and foreign commerce clause,
and was found unconstitutional in 1879. The Trademark
Law of 1881 was limited to marks used in foreign commerce, but it was extended to interstate commerce by
the Act of 1905. The Act of 1920 permitted the registration of a secondary class of marks not previously registrable. It was superseded by the Act of 1946, which
granted registrations for a term of 20 years with a possible renewal for successive 20-year terms.

National estimates of funds for research and development (R&D) for the four major sectors of the economy have been made by the National Science
Foundation since 1953. The data cover basic and applied
research as well as development. The most recent estimates include processes, materials, methods, and prototypes. The federal budget provides data on expenditures
and/or obligations for research and development on an
agency basis.

Total R&D expenditures in 2002 amounted to


$276.185 billion, compared with $13.669 billion in 1960.
Of current expenditures, the federal government share
is $78.2 billion, industry share is $180.769 billion, universities share is $7.455 billion, and other nonprofits share
is $7.304 billion. Fifteen percent is borne by the
Department of Defense.

The Johns Hopkins University ranks number one


in receipt of federal funds for R&D, a position it has
occupied for many decades. The University of
Washington, the University of Michigan, the University
of Pennsylvania, and the University of CaliforniaLos
Angeles are the runners up.

In 2000, there were 6.412 million scientists and


engineers, of whom scientists numbered 922,800, computer specialists 2,903,400, engineers 1,465,300, technicians 1,062,600, and surveyors 58,300.

Of the 40,744 persons who received doctorates in


scientific fields in 2001, 25.4 percent were foreign
nationals (7.5 percent Asian) and 44.1 percent were
females.

10

Total NASA expenditures on space-related programs in 2003 amounted to $15.117 billion, of which
space shuttle operations accounted for $3.208 billion
and space science $2.414 billion.

11
Between 1995 and 2002, the United States has
successfully launched 586 space shuttle launches, including 28 named Columbia.

12
The United States has a commanding lead in
the number of Nobel scientists. Of the total 487 Nobel
prizes awarded since 1901, the United States has 214,
almost three times that of the United Kingdom.

Financial markets and institutions not only influence but also drive the U.S. economy. Financial data
summarize the types of claims, liabilities, and assets, and
also illustrate how lending and borrowing are related to
income and expenditure flows. They are derived from
banking statistics, Treasury accounts, census data, tax
returns, balance of payments reports, and security market reports. The data present a picture of the distribution of wealth ownership and of the major components
of national wealth. Financial data also provide information on the structure of debtwho owes what to
whomwhich has a bearing on corporate and private
spending decisions. Other types of data cover savings,
investments, money supplies, U.S. government securities,
bonds and mortgages, and corporate equities.

Money supply, broadly defined includes both bank


deposits and currency. Before 1934, gold was also a part
of means of payments, but in January of that year it was
withdrawn from circulation. Until 1971, gold served as a
means of settlement of international accounts, and until
1968, as domestic reserve money. At present, gold is
held solely by the Treasury Department. Private gold
holdings are forbidden except in limited amounts for
licensed purposes. U.S. residents may purchase, hold, or
sell foreign and domestic gold coins minted before
April 5, 1933, but those minted after that date may be
held only by collectors. From 1873 to 1907, gold coins in
circulation in the United States were included in the
estimates of the Annual Report of the Director of the
Mint. In 1934, gold coins worth $287 million were still in

SECTION 27: FINANCIAL MARKETS AND INSTITUTIONS


circulation, but they disappeared from circulation
immediately after the U.S. dollar was taken off the gold
standard. Following the enactment of the Old Series
Currency Adjustment Act of 1961, both gold and silver
certificates were retired.

The chief money market in the country is New


York City. The New York money market comprises a
number of markets with differences in rates corresponding to differences in the supply of funds relative to
demand. These markets are called open markets
because transactions on them are usually made on an
impersonal basis with the borrower and lender dealing
through agents. In contrast, in a customer market,
borrower and lender deal directly with each other, and
transactions are often made on a personal basis.

Although investment companies date back to the


nineteenth century, they became popular only after the
rise of mutual funds. A mutual fund is a company that
combines the funds of many investors whose investment
goals are similar, and which invests those funds in a
wide variety of securities. Different mutual funds have
different investment objectives, management policies,
and degrees of risk. Some emphasize capital growth,
others, current income; still others are highly speculative. Mutual funds are technically known as open-end
investment companies because they are always ready to
redeem outstanding shares at the request of the
investor. Mutual funds are regulated by both federal
and state governments; the major federal statues governing them are the Securities Act of 1933, the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and the Investment
Company Act of 1940.

The banking system of the United States has


evolved over two centuries. Banks are in part regulated
by state governments and in part by the federal government. Supervision and regulation of banks are the primary responsibility of the chartering authoritiesthe
Comptroller of Currency in the case of national banks
organized under the federal law of 1863 and state officials in the case of state banks. Two other federal entities with additional supervisory authority have been
superimposed on the banking system: the Federal
Reserve System, which was established in 1914 to exercise central banking functions, and the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation, created in 1933 to insure bank
deposits. The Federal Reserve System includes all
national banks and those state banks that choose to join
voluntarily. Insurance of bank deposits is obligatory for
all banks belonging to the Federal Reserve System and
is optional for others. Before the National Banking Act
of 1863, the only official banking statistics were compiled by the Treasury Department and were based on
reports submitted voluntarily by the banks. No data on
state banks were included in these reports, but the Act
of 1873 authorized the Comptroller to obtain data

411

about nonnational banks from state authorities.


Although coverage was improved, it was far from complete because many banks operated outside the state
system, and some states had no departments to collect
the information. Efforts to promote uniformity in bank
statistics culminated in 1947, when a standardized balance-sheet form was approved and adopted by the federal and state banking agencies. To provide more adequate historical banking statistics comparable to those
available beginning 1947, a revised retrospective series
was published in 1959 under the title All-Bank Statistics
18961955. This series covered number of banks, principal assets and liabilities for major classes of banks, and
data for individual states and outlying territories.

The first bank chartered by Congress was the Bank


of North America in Philadelphia founded in 1781. The
Bank of the United States was sponsored by the
Federalist Party and chartered in 1791 in Philadelphia.
Secretary of the Treasury, Alexander Hamilton, used it
as a fiscal agenta depository bank for government

by Congress. The Second Bank of the United States was

There are three sources of primary data about life


insurance: reports of the state insurance departments;
commercial publishers, such as A. M. Best Company;
and trade associations, such as the American Life
Insurance Association.

The first life insurance company was the


Corporation for the Relief of Poor and Distressed
Presbyterian Ministers and of the Poor and Distressed
Widows and Children of Presbyterian Ministers, incorporated in 1759 in Philadelphia. The first health insurance company was the Massachusetts Health Insurance
Company of Boston, founded in 1847. The first accident
insurance company was Travelers Insurance Company
of Hartford, chartered in 1863. It issued the first automobile insurance policy in 1898 to Dr. Truman J. Martin
of Buffalothe one-year premium was $11.25. The first
fire insurance company to receive a charter was the
Philadelphia Contributorship for the Insurance of
Houses from Loss by Fire in 1868.

Savings institutions are primarily involved in credit


extension in the form of mortgage loans. Statistics on
savings institutions are collected by the U.S. Office of
Thrift Supervision. The Financial Institutions Reform,
Recovery, and Enforcement Act of 1989 authorized the
establishment of the Resolution Trust Corporation
(RTC), which is responsible for the disposal of assets
from failed savings institutions.

Presidential election years

Although the United States was founded as a


democracy, it took more than 200 years for its electoral
mechanisms to evolve from a highly elite, non-democratic format to its present state. For the first 100 or so
years, each state determined for itself who its voters
were and how they should be enrolled and permitted to
vote. Over the years, constitutional amendments, congressional legislation, and judicial decisions applied certain constraints to the states discretion in specified
areas of legal procedure pertaining to elections. In the
South, for example, fraudulent stuffing of boxes, suppression of returns, and other irregularities were fairly
common from after the Civil War until well into the
twentieth century. As late as the 1940s, Lyndon
Johnsons victory in his first Senate race was attributed
to such practices. Originally, only free White males were
enfranchised. Women were universally enfranchised in

1990

1998

Congressional election years

1920, but a number of states gave women suffrage earlier: Wyoming, as a territory, in 1869; Colorado in 1893;
Utah in 1896; Idaho in 1897; Washington and California
in 1911; Oregon, Arizona, and Kansas in 1913; Montana
and Nevada in 1914; Illinois in 1916; and Michigan and
New York in 1918. Blacks were enfranchised in 1870 by
the 15th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, but were
handicapped in the South by a number of procedural
and technical restrictions designed to keep them away
from the ballot box. In the 1960s, the Civil Rights Act
made such restrictions unconstitutional. Until 1928, citizenship was not a requirement for voting and aliens
voted freely in many states. Because of the difficulty in
estimating the number of foreign-born males in the
population, the electoral data for years before and after
1928 are not strictly comparable.

SECTION 28: POLITICS AND ELECTIONS

Article II, Section I of the U.S. Constitution delineates the method for the election of the president of the
United Statesthe establishment of an electoral college
in each state. The method of casting the electoral votes
was modified in 1804 by the adoption of the 12th
Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. With a few exceptions, presidential electors have been chosen by direct
popular vote since 1828, although state legislators still
have the right to choose the electors. On four occasions
in U.S. history, the entire electoral vote of a state
remained uncast for technical reasons.

The number of members of the U.S. House of


Representatives is fixed by Congress at the time of each
apportionment and is based on the population of each
state as shown in the decennial censuses. No change in
total house membership has been made since 1912,
except to allot one representative each to Hawaii and
Alaska when they attained statehood. Membership was
increased to 437 in 1960, but reverted to 435 after 1962.
Prior to the passage of the 14th Amendment, Native
Americans were excluded from the census and only
three out of five slaves were included. Before 1850,
apportionment ratios were chosen arbitrarily. From
1850 to 1900, it was by dividing the total population by
a predetermined number of representatives; from 1910
on, it was by dividing the eligible population by a fixed
number of representatives.

The United States has one of the lowest rates of


voter participation in elections and one of the highest
rates of political apathy among all democracies (as
measured by voter turnout for elections, number of citizens running for office, membership in political parties,
and so on). Generally, presidential election years draw
more voters to the polling booths than midterm election
years. Even so, only 54.7 percent of eligible voters turn
out in average presidential years. The highest percentage of voting age population participating in a presidential election was 62.8 percent in 1960. In congressional
elections, the percentage is much lower, for example
41.9 percent in 1998.

The power of incumbency on Congress is illustrated by the fact that 97.8 percent of all representatives
and 79.3 percent of all senators in presidential election
years, and 97.8 percent of all representatives and 89.7
percent of senators in midterm election years, are reelected.

431

The women and minority share of both the House


and the Senate has increased since the 1980s. The number of women jumped from 19 in the House and two in
the Senate in 1981 to 62 in the House and 13 in the
Senate in 2001. Similarly, the number of Blacks grew
from 17 in the House and none in the Senate to 39 in
the House and none in the Senate in 2001. The members of both houses are now older than the members in
1981. There are 14 members in the House and no member in the Senate below age 40, compared with 94 and 9
respectively in 1981. Senators tend to be even older.
There were 18 members over age 70 in 2001, compared
with 6 in 1981.

The number of states with Democratic governors


has grown in recent years, but remains less than those
with Republican governors. The governor elected in
2000 with the highest percentage of popular votes was
Mike Foster, a Republican from Maine, who received
62.2 percent of the vote.

Of the total voting-age population, only one-third


register and only 54.7 percent voted in presidential election years and 41.9 percent in congressional election
years. More White voters register and vote than Black
voters and, as a result, the 3 percent gap between these
two categories of voters has remained despite efforts to
bring more Blacks into the political stream. By states,
the highest percentage of voters was 66.6 percent in
Minnesota and the lowest was 32.8 percent in Arkansas.

In 2001, the federal government employed 2.698


million civilians and state and local governments
employed 18.272 million. Monthly payroll was $11.4 billion for the federal government and $49.262 billion for
state and local governments.

Year (by start of session)

In any given place, an American lives under at least


five governments: federal, state, county, township, and
school district. In addition, there are many offshoots,
such as single-function and multiple-function districts,
authorities, and commissions and boards with varying
degrees of autonomy and budgetary powers. When
William Andersons monograph, The Units of
Government in the United States, was published in 1934,
there were 175,418 governments in the country. The
number declined to 155,116 in 1942 and to 87,576 by
2002. This decrease was mainly a result of mergers or
eliminations of school districts, which shrank in number
from 108,579 in 1942 to 13,506 in 2002. Complete censuses of governments, covering structure, personnel,
expenditure, revenues, and debt were conducted in

1932, 1942, and 1957, and at five-year intervals thereafter. Earlier censuses were held decennially, from 1850
to 1890, and for 1902, 1912, and 1922, but were much
narrower in scope. These censuses differ not only in
scope but also in basic concepts and classifications, thus
affecting their comparability. Statistics on government
employment and payroll have been published by the
Bureau of Labor Statistics since 1955; from 1940 to
1955, they were published by the Bureau of the Census.
Data for municipalities are for city, borough, village, and
(except in New England, New York, and Wisconsin)
town governments. Data for school districts are restricted to independent districts and do not include school
systems operated by state, city, county, or township governments.

Under George Washington, the entire executive


staff consisted of two people. In 1815, the number of
federal employees rose to 4,837, of whom 535 worked in
Washington, D.C.

1985 to 5,205 in 2001. The number of women elected


officials at the state level grew to 1,682 in 2002, from
1,375 in 1990.

3 In 1975, Republicans controlled only five state legislatures and Democrats controlled 37. In 2003, control

The number of measures enacted by Congress has


declined since 1972, primarily because many private
bills are being bundled together as omnibus bills. The
number of measures enacted in the 20012002 term was
only 337, compared with 736 in 19791980. On average,
in 20012002, a representative worked for 1,694 hours
annually, or 6.4 hours per day, and a senator for 2,279
hours annually, or 7.1 hours per day.

was fairly even, with Democrats controlling 16 and


Republicans 21, with 12 states divided.

The number of Black elected officials nationwide


grew from 1,469 in 1970 to 9,061 in 2001, and the number of Hispanic public officials also grew from 3,147 in

Year

The first federal budget of 17891791 showed net


revenues of $4.399 million, of which all but $20,000
were derived from customs duties. The budget remained
under $100 million until 1863 when, under the financial
strains of the Civil War, it rose to $112 million. It
crossed the $1 billion mark in 1917, again during
wartime; the $100 billion mark in 1963, as the Vietnam
War was escalating; and the $2 trillion mark in 2000. As
a percentage of GDP, it inched up from 16 percent in
1950 to 18.4 percent in 2000. In 1998 through 2001, it
showed a surplus for the first time since 1960, but by
2002, budget deficits had returned. The Unified Federal
Budget concept was introduced in 1968 to incorporate
reforms recommended by the Presidential Commission
on Budget Concepts. Under the Unified Budget, trust
funds were included in the federal budget to show the
total impact of government spending on the economy.

2
When income tax was introduced in 1913, the
effective rate was 0.4 percent for a family in the $5,000
annual earnings range and only 6 percent for a family
earning over $1 million (in 1912 dollars). The total number of returns in 1913 was 357,598. Before the introduction of income tax, 54 percent of internal revenue collections was from alcohol and 20 percent from tobacco.

For a number of years there were two categories of


public debt: public debt and the debt subject to the debt
limit. The public debt originates from the Treasury
Department, but excludes debt incurred by public agencies, such as the Tennessee Valley Authority. Gross
Public Debt (GPD) is a new concept that includes both
public and agency debt. Approximately three-fourths of
the GPD is owed to the public; the rest is a paper debt

SECTION 30: PUBLIC FINANCE


consisting of surpluses of trust funds invested by the
government in public debt securities. Interest payments
on this part of the debt are paid from one account within the budget to another account also within the budget,
and therefore, do not affect the budget surplus or
deficit. Because the Federal Reserve System is an independent body outside the federal budget, the U.S. government pays the Federal Reserve interest on money
borrowed from it for budgetary purposes. Debt held by
the system is shown as debt held by the public, and
interest paid to the system affects budget surplus or
deficit. In years of heavy borrowing, the government
has to pay billions of dollars in interest, thus adding to
the deficit, and vice versa. However, since 1947, the
Federal Reserve has made annual payments to the
Treasury from its surplus, which, in turn, arises primarily
as a result of interest payments made by the Treasury.
The public debt in 1791 was $75.463 million or $19.21
per capita. By the time of the Civil War, it had been
reduced to $2.85 per capita. The Civil War and the half
century following saw growth in public debt, but it
decreased to the very low level of $11.99 per capita by
the start of World War I. Thereafter it rose steadily,
crossing the $1,000 per capita mark in 1944. In 2002, the
GPD was $6.198 trillion, or $21,885 per capita.

Seven states do not have state individual income


tax: Alaska, Florida, Nevada, South Dakota, Texas,
Washington, and Wyoming. Six states have flat rates:
Colorado, Illinois, Indiana, Massachusetts, Michigan,
and Pennsylvania. Rhode Island has taxes calculated as
a percentage of federal tax liability.

Total lottery ticket sales reached $50.0 billion in


2001. Only 12 states do not have lotteries: Alabama,
Alaska, Arkansas, Hawaii, Mississippi, Nevada, North
Carolina, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Utah,
and Wyoming.

State and local governments generate almost as


much revenue as the federal government: $1.513 trillion
for the former compared with $1.572 trillion for the latter in 1996. State and local revenues rely more on sales
taxes and less on direct income taxes than the federal
government. Patterns of expenditure are also different,
with state and local governments spending more on

459

education, highways, and similar services, and less on


national defense, environment, and general interest on
public debt than the federal government. State and
local governments spend $447 billion on salaries and
wages compared with $162 billion for the federal government.

Total federal grants in aid to state and local governments increased from $24.065 billion in 1970 to
$351.550 billion in 2002. This figure represents 18.0 percent of federal outlays and 3.4 percent of the GDP. The

government investment consists of general government and government enterprise expenditures for fixed assets; inventory investment is included in government consumption
expenditures.

2Consumption expenditures for durable goods excludes expenditures classified as investment, except for goods transferred to foreign countries by the federal government.
3Compensation of government employees engaged in new own-account investment and related expenditures for goods and services are classified as investment in structures and in software.
4Consumption of fixed capital, or depreciation, is included in government consumption expenditures as a partial measure of the value of the services of general government fixed assets; use of

depreciation assumes a zero net return on these assets.

1Gross

government investment consists of general government and government enterprise expenditures for fixed assets; inventory investment is included in government consumption
expenditures.

2Consumption expenditures for durable goods excludes expenditures classified as investment, except for goods transferred to foreign countries by the federal government.
3Compensation of government employees engaged in new own-account investment and related expenditures for goods and services are classified as investment in structures and in software.
4Consumption of fixed capital, or depreciation, is included in government consumption expenditures as a partial measure of the value of the services of general government fixed assets; use of

depreciation assumes a zero net return on these assets.

The Department of War (now the Department of


Defense) was established in 1789. The Navy started
functioning in 1794, and a separate Navy Department
was authorized and organized in 1798. The Department
of the Air Force was set up in 1947 under the National
Security Act. The Marine Corps was founded in 1775,
disbanded in 1783, and reactivated in 1794. In 1794,
under George Washington, the defense force of the new
republic consisted of an army of 3,813 persons (including 235 officers) and a Navy of 1,856 persons (including
150 officers). The total military budget was $2.639 million for the Army and $61,000 for the Navy.

The federal defense budget reached $348.6 billion


in 2002, up from $48.1 billion in 1960. As a percentage
of GDP, the defense budget declined from 9.3 percent
in 1960 to 3.4 percent in 2002. Military downsizing led
to a substantial reduction in personnel, from 3,693,000

in 1990 to 2,811,000 in 2002. As of 1999, the United


States accounts for 33 percent of military expenditures
throughout the world.

The United States is a major arms exporter. In


2001, it sold $29.2 billion worth of arms to various countries, more than half of all sales worldwide.

In 2001, 254,788 U.S. military personnel were on


active military duty abroad, including 11,704 in Italy,
37,605 in Korea, 70,998 in Germany, and 40,217 in
Japan.

The number of veterans in 2002 was 25.346 million,


of which war veterans numbered 20.153 million.
