The Escalake Index

Year-over-year price movement across labor, transportation, construction materials, and industrial inputs, pulled from public government statistical providers Escalake already ingests, refreshed nightly.

Methodology: each series is a real, verified feed from its official statistical agency (US BLS/EIA/FRED, UK ONS, Eurostat, Australian ABS, World Bank, Statistics Canada). Year-over-year change compares the latest published value to the earliest value in a trailing ~13-month window, so it moves with real publication lag rather than a fixed calendar date. No customer or contract data is used anywhere on this page. It's built entirely from public data Escalake already ingests for its 15 provider integrations. Last refreshed Sep 2026.
