To help the business community navigate the recent uncertainty in financial markets and the economy, the Kentucky Chamber launched a new dashboard dedicated to tracking key metrics that provide a clear and succinct picture of the Commonwealth and the nation’s economy.
On this dashboard, Kentucky Chamber Vice President of Policy Dr. Charles Aull provides a brief monthly update on the state’s job growth, layoffs, unemployment, hiring rates, national inflation, and national consumer sentiment and small business optimism. This information is summarized in five key points.
“We expect the new tariffs and changes in international trade policy to have effects on the economy, but it will take time for these impacts to surface in economic data. That’s why the Kentucky Chamber Center for Policy and Research is providing this resource to help Kentucky’s business community and policymakers understand what metrics are indicative of the health of Kentucky and the nation’s economy and where the economy is trending every month,” said Aull.
The data for this monthly dashboard uses key metrics from the U.S. Department of Labor, the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis, the University of Michigan, the St. Louis Federal Reserve, and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. The Kentucky Chamber Center for Policy and Research analyzes all data and will provide updates as new information becomes available.
