This article focuses on the major national economic indicators and how they changed over the course of the COVID-19 pandemic. The indicators that are discussed include Gross Domestic Product (GDP), the unemployment rate, interest rates, inflation, and other variations of these measures. The authors also present data that sheds light on the monetary and fiscal policy responses to the pandemic. The authors explain these economic indicators with additional attention to what they measure and the limitations they may present. Teachers will be introduced to the Federal Reserve Economic Database (FRED), which is a rich source of graphs and information for teacher instruction and student research. Further classroom-based resources related to understanding the economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic are also presented.
