The Census Bureau now has its own app. It’s called America ’s
Economy and its bound to become a must have for politico wonks and econ wonks alike
I downloaded it this morning
According to this story by Carol Morello in The Washington
Post, the app “provides updated statistics from the Census Bureau, the Bureau
of Economic Analysis and the Bureau of Labor Statistics. It includes 16 monthly
economic indicators, such as house sales, personal income, international trade,
Gross Domestic Product and the unemployment rate.”
“The app is the latest step the census has taken to use the
Internet more in both collecting and disseminating statistics. Last month, the
White House cited the Census Bureau as an example of a federal agency that is
“making great strides towards putting a solid foundation for a 21st Century
digital government in place.”
