Wall Street is a glutton for numbers — especially data on the health of the U.S. economy.

The facts, figures and trends that equity analysts study come from a variety of public and private sector sources. But these numbers also are readily available to anyone interested in gauging the economy and their own future financial considerations.

Here are just a few places on the Internet where you can find economic performance and trend data:

• The Brady Times
