ECONOMIC INDICATORS

This directory contains monthly economic data for the current year found in series 1 through 30 of the report New Jersey Economic Indicators, published by the New Jersey Department of Labor and Workforce Development monthly (except for February when annual revisions are made).

Each year the data series in Economic Indicators are revised using new benchmark and seasonal adjustment factors. For that reason, it would be incorrect to generate an historic time series for Economic Indicators data by taking old issues of the Economic Indicators and tying the series together.
