Most important economic statistics are the products of programs designed to collect and analyze data to report summary results at regular intervals. Properly interpreted, these economic indicators provide useful barometers for different aspects of the economy and identify trends that aid better planning decisions. Economic indicators are available at the national level, state level, and even the regional and municipal levels. This text focuses on economic indicators for the overall U.S. economy, identifying major categories of economic indicators and describing the key indicators in each of the categories. Most key economic indicators are reported promptly on the Internet and are provided as formatted time series that can be readily downloaded and analyzed. This text will include links to the sources for key economic indicators, as well as websites that maintain calendars of upcoming announcements and consensus forecasts of the indicators shortly prior to a formal announcement. 410 0$aEconomic and finance collection.$x2163-7628 606 $aEconomic indicators$zUnited States 608 $aElectronic books. 610 $aEconomic indicators 610 $aeconomic conditions 610 $abusiness cycles 610 $atracking the economy 610 $aeconomic calendar 610 $aeconomic data sources 615 0$aEconomic indicators 676 $a330.9730021 700 $aStengel$b Donald N$0963020 701 $aChaffe-Stengel$b Priscilla M$0963019 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910457209303321 996 $aWorking with economic indicators$92243255 997 $aUNINA
