Summary
The government is a great repository of information useful to all manner and sector of private and public interests. Indeed, some government agencies view as part of their core mission the delivery of information useful to sectors of the economy, the public, researchers, and more. For example, the Census, the Bureau of Labor Statistics, and the Centers for Disease Control are all agencies dedicated at least in part to amassing information and distributing it sensibly to those who can benefit from it.
