External Resources 

In addition to our products, there are several good external data sources . Links to some of these (Census Bureau population estimates pages, Bureau of Labor Statistics employment estimates page, Missouri and Illinois labor market information pages, Missouri’s State Demographer page) have been embedded in our listings to target their data to specific topics). Four additional highly recommended external sources are presented here. Should both our data and the external resources fail to meet your needs, assistance may be requested in locating additional resources from our Regional Information Services staff: John Posey or Ross Friedman at 314-421-4220, 618-274-2750.

Data Archives

Contained here are many out-dated listings from East-West Gateway’s former “Trendicators” section. In most cases, these items have been superseded by our new Data Center items, which contain historical data when appropriate. For the interim, these outdated tables are made available to allow a user to refer to the original posting of a previously consulted item.
