How to read this chart

Read the units and reporting frequency before comparing periods. A level, a month-to-month change, and a year-over-year change answer different questions. Compare related economic indicators over the same dates.

Interpretation and limitations

Economic releases can be revised. Publication dates and the periods being measured may differ, and historical relationships do not establish cause and effect.
