I need a website that I can use as a source for updated historical
economic data (preferably in chart form).  I need to be able to look
at the

1 - Unemployment
2 - Initial jobless claims
3 - ISM Manufacturiong Survey
4 - GDP (real)
5 - Consumer Confidence
6 - Personal Income

I would like to be able to look back anywhere from the present to the
10 years ago.  I would also like almost all if possible of the items
listed to be found on this website.  Please provide multiple links if
one does not exist that can contain all info.

Yes, all economic information can be is for the United States.

Hello birdmancu-ga:

It seems that there might not be any single website that will have the
above sources at one place. I hope another researcher can find it for
you. Based on my initial research, here are the most authoritative
links to the above contents:

Unemployment historcal Data

Initial jobless claims historical Data

Real GDP Data

Consumer Confidence

I assume it si difficult to get a free historical record. A
comprehensive consumer confidence data is available from its publisher
at Conference Board at www.conference-board.org

Here is a link to past six years of historical consumer confidence
data on monthly basis:

Here are links to the historical graphs of consumer confidence (9-13
years)
