How to read these charts
- Check the periodEach value belongs to a month or quarter, released weeks later. “To date” means the current month is still in progress.
- Mind the unitsRates and growth figures are percentages; a change from 3% to 4% is a rise of one percentage point, not 1%.
- Use the recession bandsGrey shading marks US recessions, showing how each indicator behaves in downturns.
- Compare rangesSwitch between 1 year and the full history: short-term noise and long-term trends often tell different stories.
Common questions
Are these charts really free to use on my website?
Yes. Every chart can be embedded on personal and commercial websites at no cost and without registration. The embed code contains two small credit links, which should stay visible.
How current is the data?
The site checks for new releases every day. Monthly indicators change when the responsible agency publishes a new figure; charts based on daily market data, such as Treasury yields and oil prices, show a month-to-date average that moves every business day.
What do the grey bands on the charts mean?
They mark US recessions as dated by the National Bureau of Economic Research. They make it easy to see how each indicator behaves when the economy shrinks.
