Choose the comparison that fits the question
Read the definition and units before comparing two histories. A percentage change describes growth relative to an earlier value. A percentage-point change subtracts two rates expressed in percent. Every series retains its original frequency and adjustment. Missing values stay missing, and quarterly data is not interpolated into monthly readings.
This hub uses the September 30, 2026 acquired snapshot. It contains the history actually returned by each producer, with the file’s publication date shown separately from retrieval. A more recent agency release can exist outside this snapshot. Check data freshness before citing a reading as the latest agency figure.
