Data reported herein are seasonally adjusted, and therefore
may not be directly comparable to data elsewhere. The five
seasonally adjusted leading index components are Tennessee
construction potentials, initial claims for Tennessee unemployment
insurance, the U.S. leading index, inflation-adjusted taxable sales
and taxable mortgages. The three seasonally adjusted coincident
index components are Tennessee commercial and industrial electricity
consumption, the Memphis help-wanted advertising index, and the U.S.
coincident index. See the Fall 1988 issue of the Survey of Business
and the 1994 Economic Report to the Governor for a complete
discussion of the methodology underlying the Tennessee economic
indices.
