The Graphical Economy Tool
Since the U.S. economy has been very turbulent for the past couple of months, I decided to create a tool that will give me a better insight than the speculative commentaries by wall street “analysts”. Since the government has a huge census database on inflation, employment, wages, etc, I decided to utilize such data and create intuitive graphs to draw insights on the economy.
After a weekend of programming, I finished making The Graphical Economy.
The line graphs will display the time series data, making it easier to spot interesting trends. You are all welcome to use it and give me feedback. But please understand that it may contain bugs and data issues.
