US Macro Indicators

The US real-economy dashboard in one tidy Parquet - the headline indicators every macro desk tracks: unemployment rate, nonfarm payrolls, initial jobless claims, real GDP, industrial production, capacity utilization, retail sales, personal consumption, durable-goods orders, housing starts, vehicle sales, business inventories, M2 money supply, plus the policy and rates layer - the fed funds rate, 2-year and 10-year Treasury yields and the 10Y-2Y curve spread (the classic recession signal). Aligned on date, back to 1990. Public domain at origin (BLS, BEA, Federal Reserve, Census, Treasury); FRED is only the retrieval pipe, so resale stays clean. Distinct from our inflation and liquidity sets.
