There's also a lot of useful stuff in the annual
Statistical Abstract from the Census Bureau.

http://www.census.gov/library/publications/time-series/statistical_abstracts.html

The older numbers are available as image PDFs
which have to be transcribed, but that's still
very useful.

Besides the annual editions, the Census Bureau put out
three compendiums of "Historical Statistics of the
United States, Colonial Times to... [1945, 1957, and
1970]".

These cover the period, with tables including all
years, which makes collating a series of years much
easier.
