📅 The Week Ahead: National Experimental Well-Being Statistics 

The U.S. Census Bureau today released new estimates from its National Experimental Well-Being Statistics (NEWS) project.

NEWS is a research-driven project with the goal to improve how the Census Bureau measures income and poverty. NEWS does this by exploring new methods for creating these economic “well-being” indicators by looking back at data collections from previous years, using a wider span of data sources, and applying new advanced analysis techniques.
