STAT-USA Office to Cease Operations September 30, 2010



After more than 25 years of operation, STAT-USA will cease operations. The world of access to government information has evolved to the point that STAT-USA's business model ,as a fee for service office, is no longer viable.
USA Trade Online will continue, provided by the Foreign Trade Division of the Census Bureau- a key source of STAT-USA data.
STAT-USA/Internet (which includes all State of the Nation and GLOBUS & NTDB databases) and their syndication services will cease Sept 30, 2010.
Please check the STAT-USA website for where your customers can find similar information in the future.
