Economic Data That Actually Matters

Every week brings new economic reports, but which ones should you pay attention to? We focus on the indicators that have real impact on business planning and investment decisions.

Employment Trends

Understand how job market shifts affect consumer spending, wage growth, and regional economic health. Learn to spot early signals in unemployment data.

Inflation Patterns

Decode CPI reports and producer price indexes. See how inflation impacts different sectors and what it means for your business costs.

GDP Components

Break down GDP beyond the headline number. Consumer spending, business investment, and government expenditure tell different stories.

From Raw Data to Strategic Insights

Most economic reports get published with little context. We teach you to dig deeper than the headlines and understand what drives the numbers.

Take housing starts, for example. The monthly figure matters, but seasonal adjustments, regional variations, and permit data tell you where construction activity is really heading.

Our next program begins in July 2025, designed for professionals who need to make sense of economic data in their daily work. Small groups, practical case studies, real-world applications.

Connect the Dots Between Different Indicators

Economic data doesn't exist in isolation. Consumer confidence affects spending, which impacts employment, which influences housing markets. We help you see these connections.

Leading vs Lagging Indicators

Learn which indicators predict future trends and which ones confirm what already happened. Building permits lead housing construction by months. Unemployment is a lagging indicator that confirms recession.

Regional Economic Variations

National averages hide important regional differences. Mining regions react differently to commodity prices than service-based cities. Understanding local economic drivers improves decision-making.

Sector-Specific Analysis

Retail sales data affects consumer goods companies differently than manufacturing PMI impacts industrial businesses. We help you identify which indicators matter most for your industry.

International Connections

Australian economic indicators don't exist in a vacuum. Chinese manufacturing data affects our mining exports. US Federal Reserve decisions impact our currency and interest rates.

I spent twelve years analyzing economic data for investment firms before moving into education. The reality is that most people get overwhelmed by the sheer volume of economic reports released each month.

My approach focuses on understanding what questions you're trying to answer first, then identifying which indicators actually help you answer them.
