About this dataset

This page puts the main U.S. economic and financial indicators on one screen. The values are retrieved through FRED, the database of the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis, and the underlying series are produced by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the Bureau of Economic Analysis and the Federal Reserve, among others. Rates, levels and indexes sit side by side, so each needs to be read on its own terms.

How to read it

  • Rates and levels are not read the same wayAn indicator expressed as a percentage, such as the unemployment rate, changes in percentage points. A level, such as payroll employment or average hourly earnings, changes in percent from the prior month. The same "+0.2" means different things.
  • Release cadence differs by indicatorInterest rates that move daily sit beside employment figures published monthly. Without checking each card reference date, a stale monthly value reads as though it were as current as today rate.
  • Figures are revised after publicationEmployment and GDP figures are revised after their first release. A changed historical value is not an error; it reflects a revised sample or an updated seasonal adjustment.
  • Seasonal adjustment changes the pictureMost series shown are seasonally adjusted, with the regular within-year pattern removed. Both the level and the rate of change differ from the unadjusted series, so check which one you are comparing against elsewhere.

FAQ

What is FRED?
The economic database published by the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis. It aggregates official series produced by agencies such as BLS and BEA, and this site retrieves its values through it.
Why do past figures change?
Because first releases are revised. Added sample and updated seasonal adjustment factors change values that had already been published.
Which indicator should I look at first?
It depends on the question. For the state of the labour market, unemployment and payroll employment; for prices, the consumer price index; for financial conditions, the policy rate and long-term yields. Each indicator page carries its own reading guide.
