 The Bureau of Economic Analysis homepage.  This contains information on wages, gross state products and other pertinent economic data.
 
Claritas
 Best Private source of economic and demographic data.  They have information (and projections) on everything from consumer spending habits and individual shopping center information to household conditions and local demographics.  Will provide information in ArcView formats if requested.  As of July 1999, this was a somewhat confusing website, so be patient.  
 
County Business Patterns
 The Brown University mirror site for County Business Patterns.  CBP is information provided biennially on county employment, divided by industrial classification (SIC Codes).  Essential for economic base analysis.  May obtain historical information as far back as the 1940s and 1950s, though information older than 1991 must be obtained from a Federal Depository Library.   This can be considered the official site of county-wide employment information.
