Recommended sources of concentrated economic info?

[Jeff Deville]

I am trying to choose between a number of different markets in which to invest remotely, and figure it's a good idea to start keeping tabs on the economic state of the area. Does anyone have any recommended blogs/journals/etc that would provide the data in as concentrated a form as possible?

Depending on how much there is, I was considering having a VA condense it all for me every few days. Any thoughts / suggestions / recommendations there would also be appreciated
