Two regional Fed surveys come out early in the month, giving us a good guide to trends in the whole US economy. Because they only cover the NE United States, their results are not conclusive; nevertheless, the correlation is close. Because the monthly data are "spiky", I've extreme adjusted and smoothed them. We are still not yet at the depths of the GFC in 2008/9, but we're heading in that direction.
