The 2025 AI Index Report

Stanford HAI's annual flagship report tracking AI progress across research, the economy, education, policy, and public opinion. The 2025 edition compiles data on model capability, training costs, industry investment, and workforce effects, with downloadable charts and datasets.

Why I recommend it: Free to download from Stanford HAI. It is a self-published report from a university institute; figures are sourced within the report, but some industry-investment and capability numbers rely on data supplied by the companies being measured. Treat headline rankings as the report's own synthesis, not neutral fact.

NYC Economic Snapshot — September 2026

Sep 24, 2026New York City Economic Development Corporation

NYCEDC's monthly data briefing on the city's economy as of September 24, 2026: private-sector employment down 12,900 in August, unemployment at 4.8% after six straight monthly declines, labor force participation at 62.1%, median asking rent near $4,000, plus office visitation, tourism, and transit numbers.

Why I recommend it: The one-page-per-topic format makes this the fastest way to sound current on the NYC economy in an interview or a client meeting. Read the jobs and small-business pages; skip the real-estate detail unless it touches your field. It is a city agency's own read of its own economy, so pair it with the raw BLS numbers if you need the unspun version.

A roundup of 2026 hiring data — job openings, applications per role, skills-based hiring and time-to-hire — with the sources behind each figure.

Why I recommend it: Published by a university that sells degrees, so read the education-related claims with that in mind; check the linked original sources before quoting a number.
