According to fedstats,found in Virtual Reference room,what was the number of building Permits in 2009

Have you gone into Fedstats and looked?

http://fedstats.gov/

yes i did

When I searched there (and also on Google and Google Advanced) with different terms, I found the results state-by-state. I never found one that was nationwide. Did you?

If you cannot find nationwide statistics, what will you do?

To find the number of building permits in 2009, you can follow these steps:

1. Open a web browser and go to the official website of FedStats.
2. Locate and navigate to the "Virtual Reference Room" section within the website.
3. Once you are in the Virtual Reference Room, look for a search bar or a menu that allows you to browse different statistical categories.
