  • Gasoline prices (EIA): No weekly move of 10 cents or more · U.S. Energy Information Administration · read Oct 26, 9:27 AM EDT

Background

  • Gasoline prices (EIA)
    Regular gasoline, Lower Atlantic (PADD 1C), week of 2026-10-19: $3.860 a gallon, down 7 cents from the week before. U.S. Energy Information Administration
  • Employment and wages (QCEW)
    Q1 2026: 132,693 jobs (129,833 a year earlier); $1,347 average weekly wage ($1,289 a year earlier). BLS (QCEW)

Each line is the source's own fields, linked to the source. Unusual is this county against its own history, never against other counties. FRA posts about three months after an accident, so its lines are reported, not breaking.
