📐 Methodology

Baseline: All metrics use January 20, 2025 (Inauguration Day) as the starting point. Where daily data isn't available, we use the closest available date (typically January 1, 2025).

Color coding: Green indicates improvement for typical consumers (lower unemployment, lower inflation, higher wages). Red indicates worsening conditions. These are economic assessments, not political judgments.

Sources: All data comes from official U.S. government sources — Bureau of Labor Statistics, Federal Reserve (FRED), Treasury Department, Energy Information Administration, and Bureau of Economic Analysis.

Updates: Data refreshes daily for market indicators, monthly for employment and inflation, and quarterly for GDP.
