Economics and Statistics Administration Reverses Shutdown Decision for EconomicIndicators.gov
EconomicIndicators.gov will continue operation. Last week, we noted that the U.S. Department of Commerce's Economics and Statistics Administration, which runs the economic data site, would be shutting it down due to budgetary constraints. This arrived in my inbox this morning:
ESA initially planned to discontinue the service due to cost concerns but given the feedback ESA received, the decision has been made to continue the site and improve its functionality.
A popular feature of the site is the calendar that links directly to economic indicators on the Census and BEA websites. By continuing the Economic Indicators (EI) site, the fifteen major indicators released by those bureaus will still be listed, along with links to the full text of each release. EI's information will continue to be provided free of charge.
