Boyd Center for Business and Economic Research
Tennessee Economic and Fiscal Indicators
March 2020-July 2021
The Boyd Center for Business and Economic Research, in conjunction with the Tennessee Department of Finance and Administration, produced a series of data that showed the effects of COVID-19 on Tennessee’s economy.
Tennessee’s economy experienced exceptional disruption beginning in March of 2020. The Boyd Center’s weekly economic indicators were compiled as a direct response to the shocks related to jobs, unemployment claims and revenues. Our detailed tracking of these key indicators continued to show improvement throughout 2020, and in Summer 2021 we suspended publication of the Weekly Indicators package.
An archive of the monthly reports is still available at the bottom of our webpage. Please email UTBoydCenter@utk.edu with any questions or requests for information about the project.

Note: Employment and sales tax revenue data are released monthly for the month prior, so April’s report shows March data. The data are collected mid-month, so in this case the March data will not reflect the effects of COVID-19. That effect will be visible in April’s monthly data when it is released in May.
