Methodology and editorial standards

• U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics Public Data API
• U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis API
• U.S. Census Bureau Economic Indicators Time Series API

Each report identifies its source series and reference period. Data from different agencies or frequencies is presented side by side, not blended into an unpublished composite.

Monthly changes compare the same series with the prior calendar month. Quarterly changes compare the same series with the prior quarter and are labeled as non-annualized level changes. Missing prior periods are shown as unavailable rather than interpolated.

Source agencies may revise observations. Reports retain a stable monthly URL. The publication date is preserved, while the modification date changes only when the underlying observation set changes.

The language model receives only programmatically verified directional statements. Its output must reproduce every supplied fact and cannot introduce digits, number words, causal language, forecasts, recommendations, or policy judgments. Invalid output is replaced with a deterministic summary.

Reports are informational and are not investment, employment, or policy advice. Important decisions should be checked against the linked agency release. Confirmed calculation, unit, direction, or wording errors are corrected in the report and reflected in its modification date.
