Where can we pull up the economic reports that are released on unemployment, inflation, government spending, and much more?
For just the basic numbers:
Unemployment-www.miseryindex.us
Inflation-www.inflationdata.com
Government spending-www.usgovernmentspending.com
Also Bureau of Labor Statistics has some useful info and the World Bank data is good for economic statistics of mostly all of the countries.
Government spending-www.usgovernmentspending.com
And its sister: http://www.usgovernmentrevenue.com/
A friend of mine works for the following company, so I may as well plug it:
Not sure about other data, but a quick check for Latvia on this site failed - it says the country is part of the Euro (-zone, I presume), which is not the case.
Hi there – I’m Andrew from Timetric. I saw this thread in my Google Alerts.
Thanks, Andris, for pointing that out – it’s a genuine mistake on our part. We’ve fixed the error, and if you find any more then we’d love to hear about them. Incidentally, if there’s any economic data which is particularly useful for you guys, let us know and we’ll see what we can do about getting it uploaded as soon as possible. We have an upload queue from here to the heat death of the universe but we’re always open to prioritising based on demand.
We’re a data company, so we’re neutral on the issues and rigorous on the facts. As far as we’re concerned, it’s key for us to make sure every side of the economic argument has access to the best data. If we don’t have the data you need, we want to know about it. Feel free to email me (andrew@timetric.com); alternatively, @timetric or @covert on Twitter.
I really appreciate the links everyone, this will definately be of great help to me, thank you.
