Common patterns and gotchas when building ETL pipelines for each data category.

📈

Economics

24 sources →

Macro and micro economic indicators — GDP, inflation, output gaps, business cycles

💹

Finance

9 sources →

Monetary, banking, and capital-markets data — interest rates, exchange rates, asset prices

High-frequency sources (daily/intraday); expect schema drift and API rate limits.

👷

Labor

1 source →

Employment, wages, and workforce data — unemployment rates, job openings, earnings

Monthly releases with seasonal adjustment flags; store both seasonally adjusted and raw series.

Agriculture

1 source →

Crop production, food prices, agricultural trade, and land-use statistics

Pipeline note

Seasonal reporting cadence; crop years don't align with calendar years — normalise your time dimension.

Energy

2 sources →

Fuel production, consumption, prices, and renewable capacity data

Pipeline note

Multiple unit systems (MMBTU, MWh, barrels); standardise to a single energy unit in your model layer.

🌍

Environmental

1 source →

Emissions, climate, biodiversity, and sustainability metrics

Pipeline note

Long historical series with frequent revisions; IPCC methodology changes can break year-over-year comparisons.

Population

9 sources →

Demographic data — population counts, age structures, migration, birth/death rates

Pipeline note

Census vintages vs. intercensal estimates differ; track the source estimate type in a metadata column.

Global

17 sources →

Cross-country or worldwide datasets spanning multiple regions

Pipeline note

Country codes vary (ISO 3166, M49, FIPS); map to a canonical geography dimension on ingestion.
