NOTE REGARDING DELAY IN PERCENTAGE OF POPULATION EMPLOYED UPDATES
Due to technical difficulties at the BLS Site, we have been, as of January 2011, unable to update the all-important percentage of the population employed worksheet (that is just below) for three months and counting. The BLS Current Population Survey is failing to load in either Internet Explorer or Firefox. The information below is as of October 2010. If the problem persists into the Spring of 2011, we will have to get the data from a secondary, third party source.

CASE-SCHILLER COST OF HOUSING INDEX BY YEAR AND BY QUARTER
These numbers show you the relative cost of housing standardized by (adjusted for) the quality and size of it. Actual prices vary radically from place to place, and changes in prices vary substantially, but the following is the overall average change in prices from quarter to quarter and from year to year since 1987.
This index reflects actual dollar prices, not inflation-adjusted prices. This index itself is showing you both the effect of general inflation on house prices and any change in house prices above or below general inflation.
The index is standardized at 100.00 as of January 1, 2000. For quarters after that, the the difference between the index and 100.00 gives you the total percent change in house prices since January 1, 2000. For example, as of quarter four 2005, house prices were 86.97% higher than they were on January 1, 2000.
For quarters prior to January 2000, if you divide 100.00 by the index value, you can see by how much prices rose from the prior quarter to January 2000.
