America’s Economy for Phone (Free)

While it’s tough for anybody to truly get their finger on the pulse of the U.S. Economy, now there is an Android app that combines multiple economic indicators (16 in total) from the United States Census Bureau.

Economic information is also easily shared on the go with friends and followers via standard social networks.
