Realtime unemployment figures

andy4444 · Nov 1, 2003

Where can I get realtime unemployment and inflation figures when they are released?

When I worked for an institution I got them off the Bloomberg terminal, but now I'm independent and can't afford one.

Are there any cheaper alternatives?

Also, are there any cheap realtime news-streams?

Would be great if someone can help me out withthis.

nope. the best way is to work for a trading firm that has a squawk box to get goverment data. i'm sure for stock news there are cheaper ways then bloomberg but there will be alittle delay. i am in the same boat about the stock news and am curious what others will come up with.

I could just imagine a realtime ticker showing the number of jobs lost in the united states in the last two seconds...interesting...

Very cheap (compared to Bloomberg) and fast with MOST headlines.
