Why is it sometimes difficult to find statistics?
Finding appropriate statistics can be challenging for the following reasons:
- A large variety of online and print sources exist.
- New sources for data become available on almost a daily basis (especially
online).
- The exact data you are seeking might not exist.
- Your chosen topic may blur with other topics making it difficult to sort
out which source would be best to use.
- Different statistical tables may present data differently. It may be
difficult to compare statistical data from different sources - the units of
measure, time periods and other variables may differ.
