Federal Reserve Statistical Release

The Federal Reserve Statistical Release is like a report card that shows how well our country is doing. It includes important information about things like the economy, jobs, inflation (prices), and interest rates. The Federal Reserve looks at all this information and then decides what to do. For example, if the economy is doing really great, the Federal Reserve might decide to lower interest rates to make things even better. The statistical release helps the Federal Reserve figure all this out.
