CodeOpx · USA macro cluster
This hub connects our highest-intent United States economy pages: jobs (state unemployment), wages (state minimum wage vs the federal floor), prices (CPI inflation), rates (Fed funds and Treasury benchmarks), and housing finance (mortgage survey anchors by geography). Use it as a topical entry point for SEO and for readers who want official-source context in one place.
Google tends to reward clear site structure: a flagship page like this helps search engines understand that unemployment, inflation, interest rates, and mortgage tools belong to one coherent “US economy” topic—and it passes PageRank through descriptive internal links instead of orphaning each calculator on its own.
Start with any card below. Each destination repeats methodology, canonical URL, and structured data (FAQ / breadcrumbs where applicable) so individual pages can rank for long-tail queries while this hub ranks for broader “US economy data” style intent.

For E-E-A-T and AdSense-style transparency, we maintain a single sitewide page that explains how datasets are chosen, refreshed, and limited—plus how to report mistakes.
