The 2003 Statistical Abstract of Missouri (SAM) is now available exclusively online. This 13th edition of the SAM contains the latest state and county-level economic and demographic statistics for Missouri including statistics on population, health, education, income, employment, prices, transportation, finance, energy, agriculture, natural resources, communications, media, and public sector revenue collections and expenditures. SAM also provides an excellent historical perspective by reporting statistics in some tables for 10 years or more along with the current data. With all these facts in one location, the SAM is an excellent reference source for all you need to know about Missouri.

The SAM is available in its entirety online in PDF format and no bound copy of the abstract is available. This web-only document may be used at no charge to all users with the Adobe Acrobat Reader (free software available at http://wwww.adobe.com). It may be accessed one table or graph at a time or in its entirety as one PDF File (3.36 MB).
