ECONOMY

Wages, jobs, prices, fiscal claims, cost of living and the benchmarks behind economic slogans.

QUESTIONS WE ASK FIRST

  • Are figures nominal or adjusted for inflation?
  • Are totals being compared with rates per person?
  • Has the underlying official series been revised?

Research questions are not allegations or conclusions about any public official.
