We did look at a bunch of different resources on the web. I know that the folks at Sunlight, headed by editorial director Bill Allison, had already scoured federal government websites for data. I also looked at some sites, like the Bureau of Labor Statistics and the Federal Reserve banks. Bill and I had a number of conversations and narrowed down the two dozen numbers that we thought were the most important in terms of the elections and economy. If other issues arise, we can add information about other data sets to EconoCheck.
