The economy on Monday, May 21, 2012

Not what these numbers say now — what they said then. Economic statistics are revised, sometimes for years, so a chart of today's data cannot show what was actually on the screen on a past date. Every figure below is the version that had been published by this day, with the date it was published beside it.

A number missing here was not yet public on this date. The rule that decides, and the steps to reproduce any figure from FRED's own vintage archive, are in the claims ledger.
