The social sciences are benefiting enormously from the computing power achieved by the multi core microprocessors installed a few years ago also on commercial computers. Barometro activity includes a profitable production of reliable statistical surveys and social analyzes, inspired by the most rigorous multidisciplinary scientific standards; conducted in collaboration or on behalf of authorities, trade unions, trade associations, foundations and third sector bodies.
