Customer Reviews
Good info!
Great info in the palm of my hand, that would have taken me a lot of time to find and make sense of.
Great Start
The Census Bureau is finally getting on board with new methods of disseminating statistics.
I would prefer that the arrows (up/down) be removed for changes that are not statistically significant.
Easy to use and informative
It's the quickest way to check/track the unemployment rate and other such indicators. The calendar they post for when indicators become updated is so incredibly useful also.
