Q. Where can I find industry averages, such as financial ratios?

Use these subscription electronic resources (current SLU students, faculty and staff only):

• RMA eStatement Studies - search by industry name or NAICS code.
• BizMiner - includes information at the local level for some industries.

Come to Pius Library and use the following print resources:

• Almanac of Business and Industrial Financial Ratios - current edition shelved in the 2nd floor Reference Collection at HF5681.R25 A42.
• RMA Annual Statement Studies - past editions shelved at HF5681.B2 R6.
• Dun & Bradstreet's Industry Norms and Key Business Ratios - past editions shelved at HF5681.R25 I53.

If you are not affiliated with SLU, BizStats.com is freely available and provides financial ratios for selected industries.
