About this snapshot

117 series had published data by 2021-08-31. Where the “as of” column shows an earlier date, that series had not published again by the snapshot date — monthly and quarterly statistics routinely lag by weeks or months, and we show the real observation date rather than restating an old figure as if it were new.
