I know quite a good amount of time can be spent trying to discover whether or not your hypothesis is testable with available data... hopefully a few of these links can help.
http://www.stat-usa.gov/ (Good Macro Data)
https://www.esa.doc.gov/ (mostly just an aggregator for other data sites)
http://www.census.gov/ (be aware much of this data requires special
tools to get into nice forms, but the tools are free at
http://www.census.gov/main/www/access.html )
subsequently, if you need data from 1980 and/or 1990, go
to http://ftp.census.gov/ )
http://www.bts.gov/ (Good transportation data)
http://www.bls.gov/data/home.htm (Labor Statistics)
http://ntlsearch.bts.gov/tris/index.do (Integrated transportation
database, great for finding data from early 1900s, also
contains research in progress TRB)
http://www.destatis.de/e_home.htm (German Statistics)
http://www.statcan.ca/menu-en.htm (Canadian Statistics)
Additionally, if you search the blog, there are numerous other great data resources with which you can work.
Best Regards, and Happy New Semester!

PS- we are still in need of tutors for 200, 300, and 400 level courses, even if you can only guarantee an hour or two a week, please email me at klord@hunter.cuny.edu with your availability, and which classes you would be most comfortable tutoring in.
