For the Person Who Truly Has Everything

The United States Census Bureau has released its latest Statistical Abstract, called "Uncle Sam's almanac," by Glenn King, the bureau economist who oversees its production.

The Statistical Abstract includes new tables each year to keep up with Americans' changing habits. Among the new items this year is data on where people performed volunteer work last year: of the 63.8 million volunteers, 35 percent at religious organizations, 27 percent for school or youth services, and 12 percent social or community service.

An abstract costs $35 for a softbound edition and $39 for hardcover, and can be obtained by calling the U.S. Government Printing Office at 202-512-1800 or the National Technical Information Service at 800-553-6847.
