Browse by Release
On FRED’s home page, click “Release.”

Data releases are collections of data made available (released) on a regular schedule under a given name, for example “Employment Situation” or “Business Formation Statistics.” Each release contains a collection of individual data series. The numbers in parentheses behind the names tell you how many series are in each release on FRED. Browsing by release is another way to discover data on FRED and is especially helpful if you are already familiar with common data releases.

The "Release Tables" will display for a few select Releases on FRED. These tables present the data series in the same format used by the original source of the data.

Click a title within a release table to view the graph.
