How do we know where we are? You need to look at some economic indicators: These are things that help analyze trends in the market and help to predict where the economy is headed. They help to tell us the general health of the economy.

Examples of Economic Indicators: What are some economic indicators? Unemployment Rates Bond Yields Personal Income Levels Consumer Price Index GDP levels Housing Starts Consumer Confidence

Types of Economic Indicators 1.Leading- an indicator that signals the economy’s activity in advance. Examples: New orders for capital goods by manufacturing companies, housing starts 2.Lagging – an indicator that signals the economy’s activity after the fact. Examples: Unemployment Rates, consumer confidence, GDP 3.Coincident – an indicator that signals the economy’s activity at the same time as it is occurring. Examples: Stock Trade Volumes, industrial production levels.
