This page takes the temperature of the U.S. economy. The chart shows a summary of six key indicators, and plots where the latest indicators readings rank by percentile, relative to historic data points back to 1990. When the latest data point is nearer the green area of the chart, this tells us the indicator is closer to the higher end of its historic range. The chart also includes an "elevated recession risk" flag that will show when the latest data is consistent with a value that has been observed as the onset of a previous U.S. recession.
