Straight answers

The questions a skeptic actually asks.

How is this different from FRED?

FRED is great — and broader across agencies. YINT is built to make BLS data findable: search in plain English instead of hunting series codes, get a chart you can screenshot in one step, and every chart carries its official BLS Series ID and coverage period so you can verify it at the source.

Is it really free? What's the catch?

Free. No account, no ads, no paywall. We don't collect or sell your data — there's nothing to sell.

Who's behind it, and will it stick around?

It's an independent project built to make public economic data less painful to use. More about the project and what's next →

Where does the data come from?

Official U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics releases. We don't alter the numbers — the Series ID and coverage period on every chart point straight back to the source.

Built on official BLS data

Free. Because inflation is expensive enough.

The economy, minus the PDFs and the paywalls. Just a faster way to read the economy.
