The purpose of this website is to help students have a better understanding of their nation's economy. It is important that people (especially young people soon to be entering the workforce) understand economics in order to make wiser economic decisions. The site consists of graphs from The Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis' Research Database of Federal Reserve Economic Data, or more simply put, FRED. The graphs from FRED will showcase how the economy is fluctuating and will be partnered with detailed explanations as to why that is.
