Veteran bond-market reporter John Liscio founded The Liscio Report in 1992 on the belief that real time information on monthly state tax receipts is crucial to understanding the state of the United States economy.

We begin each month by surveying senior revenue officials at more than two dozen states to determine the level of state withholding and sales tax collections. What better place to launch an economic query than a fact-finding mission that delivers data representing real income earned from actual paychecks as well as dollars and cents rung up at the cash register?

But that's not all. We regularly grill our highly informed contacts at the largest states on their favorite indicators, like diesel fuel sales, and about crucial, but little-known economic developments. Add to that all our original macroeconomic research and Wall Street's best quick dissection of the monthly employment release and you've got a publication no serious trader or analyst should be without.
