From Library Journal:
The direct result of the partnership of the U.S. Department of Commerce, DRI/McGraw-Hill, and Standard & Poor's, this renamed and revamped edition of a favorite business source, U.S. Industrial Outlook, continues to be an outstanding reference, consolidating industry-specific data and detailed studies from both the government and the private sector. The work offers up-to-date analyses of major U.S. industries and sectors and industry-specific outlooks for international trade and domestic and global economic activity, including more than 650 charts and graphs. The 50 chapters each represent an industry based on Standard Industrial Classification Manual codes and begin with sets of graphs depicting world market share, import penetration, and output per worker. Although the chapters' contents and organization vary according to the industry discussed, they share some basic features: a preliminary definition; a discussion of global industry trends, factors affecting U.S. industry growth, and U.S. industry growth projections; a list of references and related chapters; and a glossary. This excellent industry-by-industry overview of the U.S. economy is highly recommended for business collections [See also "Keeping Public Information Public," p. 34-37; a CD-ROM, priced at $125, plus $5 s&h, is available by calling 1-800-553-6847.AEd.]AMarilyn Rosenthal, Nassau Community Coll.
