Economic Statistics

Gary Arndt | Glassbox Media
About this episode

Every month, or sometimes every quarter, governments around the world release economic statistics.

Markets will often wait for the release of these statistics, and billions of dollars of investments will often hang on what these statistics reveal. 

While the announcement of economic data will often make the news, many people aren’t aware of what these statistics actually mean. Often times they reflect something totally different than what their name might imply. 

Learn more about economic statistics, how they are calculated and what they mean on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
