Texas Business Outlook Surveys

Special Questions

The Dallas Fed occasionally poses a supplementary set of special questions after the completion of the regular survey questionnaire. These question sets are focused on a particular topic, such as the labor market or credit availability, and are often posed on a recurring basis (quarterly or annually). The results are not seasonally adjusted.
