Brokers, traders, analysts feed off numbers related to the health of the U.S. economy. But many of the figures that analysts examine are also readily available to anyone interested in gauging economic strength and weakness. Here is a sampling of Web sites that feature key economic data:

• Bureau of Labor Statistics: www.bls.gov/cpi/ (information about the consumer price index).

• The Conference Board: www.conference-board.org (leading consumer confidence report).

• Economics and Statistics Administration: www.esa.doc.gov/ei.cfm (daily economic indicators from the U.S. Commerce Department and U.S. Census Bureau).
