Government Shutting Down Economic Indicators Website

Due to budgetary constraints, the Economic Indicators service (http://www.economicindicators.gov) will be discontinued effective March 1, 2008.

Economic Indicators.gov is brought to you by the Economics and Statistics Administration at the U.S. Department of Commerce. Our mission is to provide timely access to the daily releases of key economic indicators from the Bureau of Economic Analysis and the U.S. Census Bureau.

You may link to the most recent release by clicking on the report name in the table below. You may also subscribe to our *free Subscription Service to have these files emailed or faxed directly to you as soon as they are released.

Barry Ritholtz, of The Big Picture, rightly asks, “WTF? Feds Shutting Down Economic Data Site.”

He then suggests that, much like eliminating the release of the M3 Data, this was done because the data is inconvenient, and I agree.
