Database description:

LexisNexis Statistical DataSets allows users to create their own tables, charts and maps from over 100 public domain and licensed quantitative datasets.

• Compare stock trends vs. the Federal Budget
• Chart population demographics vs. economic indicators
• View the impact of weather on U.S. airline on-times rates
• And so much more!

I am still waiting on the price quote (think: compact car), but encourage you to take a look at the database anyway. LexisNexis is one of several organizations attempting to consolidate public and private databases into one interactive tool and it will be fun to see how the race unfolds! If you would like more information or to see a basic demonstration of the database (by me) let me know.

Sincerely,
