Notes: The Coincident Economic Activity Index is a broad-based measurement of current economic conditions. Use it to help determine which phase of the business cycle the economy is currently experiencing. The Composite Index of Coincident Indicators comprises four cyclical economic data sets: nonfarm payroll employment, the unemployment rate, average hours worked in manufacturing and wages and salaries. The trend for each state's index is set to match the trend for gross state product.
