Economic Data

Type: Concept

As of November 2026, Economic Data has been mentioned in one podcast episode on GLOBAL NEWS PODCAST (Sep 2020). ADP employment data is discussed as a catalyst for the rally, but Schiff questions its plausibility versus weekly claims and expects revisions.

Economic data are data describing an actual economy, past or present. These are typically found in time-series form, that is, covering more than one time period or in cross-sectional data in one time period. Data may also be collected from surveys of for example individuals and firms or aggregated to sectors and industries of a single economy or for the international economy. A collection of such data in table form comprises a data set.
