Source and interpretation

United States. FRED source metadata. Source observations may be revised; the date above identifies the observation period, not publication or ingestion time.

The public endpoint returns up to 20 recent observations. Redistribution rights depend on the underlying producer; consult the source terms. Live operational health is reported separately and is not an SLA.
