The White House Web site has made access to current U.S. economic data much easier by establishing the Economic Briefing Room. The power of this site is that it not only offers brief statistics and charts, but that it also links to the agency that is responsible for the data, allowing interested users to obtain much more detailed data when available. The Economic Briefing Room contains current data on income, output, employment, unemployment and earnings, production and business activity, prices, money, credit and securities markets, transportation, and international statistics. The site makes the distinction between agencies that produce particular types of data invisible to the user.
