The Brookings Hutchins Center on Fiscal and Monetary Policy has just released an interactive graphic titled “Janet Yellen’s Dashboard”. The dashboard created by Brookings presents data on inflation, jobs, growth, and markets.
“Once a quarter, Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen and her colleagues look at their dashboard to see where the economy has been and make projections for where they think it’s going. The dashboard shows a dozen of the most important measures of the economy’s vigor as the Fed tries to steer it toward its statutory goals of maximum sustainable employment and price stability. The interactive below shows you what the Fed Chair sees as she makes predictions for unemployment, inflation, growth and interest rates.”(The Brookings Institution, 2014).
