This review is from: U.S. Industry & Trade Outlook (Paperback)

The Outlook, discontinued in print with the 2000 edition, is being reinvented as a Web product. Current plans are to launch a basic site (covering 20-some industries in depth, though statistical information will be available for many more) in the Spring of 2004, and expand coverage thereafter.
