Benefits of EconUpdate

We’re living in a time of data chaos from a growing list of sources. What does it all mean?

Even though these public and private sources are producing more important economic updates than ever, it’s become increasingly challenging to keep track of them.

EconUpdate is first comprehensive curator of these updates for everyone, written in plain English, not “econospeak.”

Many of these trends are not covered by newspapers or various online media sources for three reasons:

(1) Job losses in America’s news rooms of close to 50 percent over the last decade due to creative destruction from the Internet;
(2) The Covid-19 pandemic has only accelerated the loss of journalism jobs and media consolidation; and
(3) There are simply too many indicator updates for the remaining news sources to cover.

As a consequence, most news sources tend to cover just a few major updates relating to GDP, stock market indices, employment and the housing market. But there’s so much more to track!

By subscribing to EconUpdate, you’ll be keeping current on up to 150 weekly, monthly and quarterly economic indicators, along with a brief narrative on what they mean.

Think of these indicators as the ‘canaries in the coal mine’ to better prepare for your business, industry and family.

By staying informed, you’ll stay competitive.
