Advanced Economic Data

The economic data in my last post included the effects of inflation, unemployment, the budget, debt, and the gross domestic product on our economy. The below data adds the effects of consumer spending on the results from 1930 to 2010 from yesterday’s data. The last two columns add the effects of housing and auto sales as well as the trade surplus/deficit numbers on the economy from 1960 to 2010. Each of the annual results is ranked in order from best to worst.
