FRED for Beginners: Teaching Economics with Timely Data

Short for Federal Reserve Economic Data, FRED is an online database consisting of hundreds of thousands of economic data time series from scores of national, international, public, and private sources.

FRED goes far beyond simply providing data – it combines data with a powerful mix of tools that help the user understand, interact with, display, and disseminate the data. Join us to learn how you can start using FRED to strengthen your economics lessons.
