The Metro Business-Cycle Indexes
show the broad movements in local Texas economies. These
indexes summarize movements in locally measured nonagricultural
employment, the unemployment rate, inflation-adjusted
wages and inflation-adjusted retail sales.
The indexes will be published
monthly a couple days after the state and metro employment
and unemployment data become publicly available from
the Texas Workforce Commission.
