Disclaimer

Please read before relying on any chart or figure on this site.

Information only

The charts, figures and text on ChartWidgets, and in the charts embedded on other websites, are provided for general information only. They are not investment, financial, tax, legal or other professional advice, and they are not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold any security or to make any financial decision. Consult a qualified professional before acting on any information.

Data

The data are official statistics published by US government agencies (and, for mortgage rates, by Freddie Mac) and obtained from FRED, Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis. ChartWidgets is not affiliated with, sponsored or endorsed by the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis, the Federal Reserve System or any government agency. Agencies revise their data, releases can be delayed or cancelled, and some values are calculated by us (for example 12-month changes, monthly averages of daily and weekly data, the misery index and the Sahm rule). Values shown here may therefore differ from the latest official figures. Always check the original source before relying on a number.

Explanations

The explanatory texts describe how indicators are defined and how they have behaved historically. They are simplified, may not reflect the latest methodological changes, and are not forecasts.

No warranty

The site and the chart widget are provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including accuracy, completeness, timeliness, availability, merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, ChartWidgets accepts no liability for any loss or damage arising from the use of, or reliance on, the site, the data or the widget.

Embedded charts

Website owners who embed a chart are responsible for how it is presented on their pages. The widget may be changed, interrupted or discontinued at any time without notice.

Privacy

ChartWidgets does not use cookies, does not require registration and does not collect personal information through the site or the widget. Like any web server, ours keeps standard access logs (IP address, browser, page requested and time) for security and troubleshooting; they are not shared or sold. If you email us, we use your address only to reply.

External links

Links to government agencies and FRED are provided for convenience. We are not responsible for the content of external sites.
