The Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia has launched Tri-State Tracking, a new monthly publication series that provides statewide summaries of economic conditions for Delaware 
, New Jersey , and Pennsylvania . The release of Tri-State Tracking includes monthly data through October and quarterly data through the second or third quarter, depending on the actual data release date. Future releases will be released on the first Friday of each month, starting with a November 2013 vintage available on January 3, 2014.
“Tri-State Tracking offers a current snapshot of the most recent monthly and quarterly data on employment conditions, housing conditions, and personal income for each state,” said Paul Flora, research & policy support manager. “We think Tri-State Tracking will enable the businesses and the public to readily monitor economic conditions in their home state.”
The Philadelphia Fed will discontinue the series of five Regional Economic News briefs (State Employment, Metropolitan Area Employment, and Housing Permits on a monthly basis, plus House Prices and Personal Income on a quarterly basis) to coincide with the final release of 2013 data. The data, charts, and maps contained in the Regional Economic News briefs will continue to be posted to the website. Tri-State Tracking will augment the state and metropolitan area data as will a new series of Regional Economic Analysis reports that will launch in January.
