Household Survey, gives us the official
measure of the U.S. unemployment rate. This survey is based on estimates of the
size of the labor force and the number of people employed that are inferred
from a survey of individual households. The Household Survey differs from the BLS's
Payroll Survey, which provides another
estimate of employment from a survey of the payroll of individual businesses.” Quote source

UNCW Library Resources
Standard and Poor’s NetAdvantage (ONLINE) includes industry surveys and
financial ratios are provided at the end of each survey.
Business Source Complete (ONLINE) has industry reports,
too, and many of those reports include ratios.
MergentOnline (ONLINE) is a company database where you can create
lists of companies within an industry (either by searching industry
classification codes or by keyword). From the information provided one
can create tailored industry ratios using the information from the companies
within a given industry. All of these databases are available by going to
the library home page and clicking on More eResources by Subject and then Business.
The library also subscribes to three print sources (they are not
available online) for industry ratios. The three sources all get their
data from different sources. For example, one gets data from annual
reports while another gets data from the IRS.
They are: Industry Norms and Key Business
Ratios (REF HF5681 .R25 I53), Almanac of Business and Industrial
Financial Ratios (REF HF5681. R25 T68) and RMA Annual Statement Studies
(REF HF5681 .B2 R6).
