Its underlying economic indicators (weekly initial jobless claims; monthly payroll employment, industrial production, personal income less transfer payments, manufacturing and trade sales; and quarterly real GDP) blend high- and low-frequency information and stock and flow data. Both the ADS index and this web page are updated as data on the index&#8217;s underlying components are released.<\/p>\n<p>The average value of the ADS index is zero. Progressively bigger positive values indicate progressively better-than-average conditions, whereas progressively more negative values indicate progressively worse-than-average conditions. The ADS index may be used to compare business conditions at different times. A value of -3.0, for example, would indicate business conditions significantly worse than at any time in either the 1990-91 or the 2001 recession, during which the ADS index never dropped below -2.0.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.businessinsider.com\/another-real-time-economic-indicator-is-rolling-over-and-showing-contraction-2010-3\">Anyway, last time we saw it<\/a> it appeared to be rolling over&#8230; but as of March 31, that&#8217;s going away, and it&#8217;s almost back to even, providing another arrow in the optimist&#8217;s quiver.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/static.businessinsider.com\/image\/4bb915007f8b9ab507240800\/chart.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"chart\" \/><\/p>\n<p>This isn&#8217;t the end of the story, obviously, and no, it&#8217;s not quite even to 0 yet, but that dip early in the year is vanishing.
