Published regularly since 1941 and annually since 1990, Facts and Figures on Government Finance is a goldmine of public finance data at every level of government, with comparisons of taxing and spending levels spanning a century. It answers such questions as:
• How much of the nation’s earnings is collected in taxes? • How much do wealthy Americans pay in income taxes? • How have income tax rates changed since the Constitution was amended in 1913? • When is Tax Freedom Day in each state? • How much does the federal government spend on education? • Which states do not have an income tax? • How many Americans live below the poverty level? • This compendium of public finance data also contains the best tabular historical presentation of individual income tax rates available anywhere.
This annual reference book contains 184 charts of the most recent government finance data available, conveniently divided into six sections: Selected Economic Statistics, Overview of All Governments, Federal Government, State and Local Governments, State Governments and Local Governments, as well as a glossary and index.
More useful than several more specialized volumes, Facts and Figures on Government Finance combines material from numerous sources—including out-of-print government documents, private sources and official government data from the Office of Management and Budget, the Internal Revenue Service, the Commerce Department and the Treasury Department.

Government officials, economists, CEOs, professors, students and reporters alike rely on this valuable resource.
