You've probably hear about them on the radio or possibly in a newspaper or magazine article somewhere. They do surveys, studies, research and more. Who - or what organization - am I talking about? Gallup - that's who.
As their website says, 'Gallup delivers analytics (statistics) and advice to help leaders and organizations solve their most pressing problems. Combining more than 80 years of experience with its global reach, Gallup knows more about the attitudes and behaviors of employees, customers, students and citizens than any other organizations in the world.'
Users can visit the website for free. Of course their is a fee version which companies and organizations purchase for research. Upon visiting the site users are faced with a window called 'Gallup Daily' which has all sorts of statistics....for example there is data on people engaged at work, payroll to population, economic confidence and more....
There are links to the latest news article on the left side of the screen.
The 'Topics' icon at the top of the page opens so users can choose areas of interest - for example there are options for the Americas, Asia-Pacific, Europe, Economy, Education, Politics and much more.
Upon clicking on a particular topic - I chose Education for this tutorial - users are brought to another page where you can sign up for the latest news via email, and read articles.
Examples of articles include, 'Asking a Simple Question Can Change Everything For a Student', 'Don't Wait Until the End of the School Year to Recognize Teachers' and 'Six Things the Most Engaged Schools Do Differently'.
Users can use the Trends A-Z option which enables users to explore all Gallup trends in one place. For example there are options for topics as varied as Alcohol and Drinking, Country Ratings, Crime, Economy, Medicare, Religion and many more.
Gallup.com might be best used by high school and/or college students and adults looking for statistics and information behind various current events and popular topics.
Enjoy the site and the graphs and the charts and the data!
