Dashboard.
Live data from the Federal Reserve (FRED) across inflation, labor, dollar strength, and consumer stress. Every number pulled directly from U.S. government sources — updated as new data releases.
Inflation & Prices
CPI measures how much prices have risen across all categories. Food and shelter are the two biggest household expenses.
Labor Market
Jobs, wages, and layoffs. Rising initial claims and falling participation signal stress before unemployment rate catches up.
Dollar & Debt
Dollar strength, money supply, federal debt, and interest rates. A weakening dollar with rising debt is the stagflation transmission chain.
Consumer Stress
Housing costs, auto loan rates, SNAP enrollment, and spending patterns. These are the leading indicators of household financial strain.
