Comparing Economic and Industry Indicators: A lot of the power of data comes from the ability to compare and contrast datasets with one another. Looking at one dataset can give you a 2D look; looking at a dataset in relation to others gives you a 3D view. That's why the TrendLens™ team has made sure that all your TrendLens™ data can be cross-examined.
