The Federal Reserve's Survey of Household Economics and Decisionmaking (SHED) was designed with the flexibility to cover new and emerging economic issues. As a result, questions are not asked every year and some questions have been revised over time. To assist data users, the following SHED question comparison tool can be used to search for questions based on keywords and see the years that each question is asked. This product is currently in development, so feedback on ways to improve the tool are welcome.
