US Economic Data: CPI & Jobs Report

U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, Washington, DC

BLS Employment Situation report for September 2026 (nonfarm payrolls, unemployment rate, average hourly earnings). Released 8:30 a.m. ET. Oct 2, 2026 is the first Friday of the month, the standard Employment Situation slot. This release is TODAY. [2026-10-02 01:2x — bls.gov is READABLE AGAIN; confidence 0.95 → 0.98] For many rounds both https://www.bls.gov/schedule/news_release/empsit.htm and .../cpi.htm returned HTTP 403 (a 1,325-byte block page) in this environment, and every row of this calendar was being carried on a New York Fed cross-check rather than the primary table. This round BOTH primary schedules came back in full. The published Employment Situation table reads, verbatim: November 2025 | Dec. 16, 2025 | 08:30 AM; December 2025 | Jan. 09, 2026; January 2026 | Feb. 11, 2026; February 2026 | Mar. 06, 2026; March 2026 | Apr. 03, 2026; April 2026 | May 08, 2026; May 2026 | Jun. 05, 2026; June 2026 | Jul. 02, 2026; July 2026 | Aug. 07, 2026; August 2026 | Sep. 04, 2026; **September 2026 | Oct. 02, 2026 | 08:30 AM**; October 2026 | Nov. 06, 2026; November 2026 | Dec. 04, 2026 — all at 08:30 AM. The CPI table reads: ... August 2026 | Sep. 11, 2026; **September 2026 | Oct. 14, 2026 | 08:30 AM**; October 2026 | Nov. 10, 2026; November 2026 | Dec. 10, 2026 — all at 08:30 AM. **All six future rows of this calendar match the primary BLS tables exactly on both date and time**, so they are no longer resting on a secondary source. All six were sent through keep_events this round (kept 6 / unmatched 0). [Still no 2027 dates] The published Employment Situation schedule still ends with the November 2026 reference month (released 2026-12-04) and CPI with November 2026 (released 2026-12-10). Nothing for 2027 has appeared, so there is nothing to add. [Parser notes kept for the New York Fed fallback, in case bls.gov blocks again] Those calendars are a month GRID, not a list of date headings: each cell's day is a bare two-digit number at the start of the cell text and the time follows the entry name in parentheses, so searching for month-name headings returns zero matches and looks exactly like a missing indicator. Also do NOT write the entry-name pattern so that it forbids parentheses — several entry names contain their own, and such a pattern drops them silently. Find every (HH:MM) first and take the text between matches as the name. Byte-size is not a reliable identity check there either (i-oct26 drifted 111,748 → 117,444 → 117,433 bytes across three rounds), unlike federalreserve.gov's FOMC page which has held at exactly 165,460 bytes. [Schedule risk worth keeping in view] The 2025 appropriations lapse cancelled the October 2025 Employment Situation outright (household-survey data could not be collected retroactively), and a further lapse in February 2026 pushed the January 2026 jobs report from Feb 6 to Feb 11 and the January 2026 CPI from Feb 11 to Feb 13. Both shifts are visible in the table quoted above.

BLS Consumer Price Index for September 2026. Released 8:30 a.m. ET. [2026-09-20 re-verified] bls.gov returned HTTP 403 to plain curl again today, so the primary table could not be read this round. The date was cross-checked instead against the New York Fed's indicator calendar for October 2026 (i-oct26, HTTP 200), which lists "Consumer Price Index (08:30)" under Wednesday, October 14 — an exact match on both date and time. Schedule risk: the 2025 appropriations lapse cancelled the October 2025 Employment Situation outright, and a further lapse in February 2026 pushed the January 2026 CPI from Feb 11 to Feb 13.

BLS Employment Situation report for October 2026 (nonfarm payrolls, unemployment rate, average hourly earnings). Released 8:30 a.m. ET (EST — US daylight saving time ends 2026-11-01). Nov 6, 2026 is the first Friday of the month. [2026-09-20 re-verified] bls.gov returned HTTP 403 to plain curl again today, so the primary table could not be read this round. The date was cross-checked instead against the New York Fed's indicator calendar for November 2026 (i-nov26, HTTP 200), which lists "Employment Situation (08:30)" under Friday, November 6 — an exact match. Still no 2027 BLS dates: the published Employment Situation schedule ends with the November 2026 reference month (released 2026-12-04). Schedule risk: the 2025 appropriations lapse cancelled the October 2025 Employment Situation outright, and a February 2026 lapse pushed the January 2026 jobs report from Feb 6 to Feb 11.

BLS Consumer Price Index for October 2026. Released 8:30 a.m. ET (EST — US daylight saving time ends 2026-11-01). [2026-09-20 re-verified] bls.gov returned HTTP 403 to plain curl again today, so the primary table could not be read this round.

BLS Employment Situation report for November 2026 (nonfarm payrolls, unemployment rate, average hourly earnings). Released 8:30 a.m. ET. Dec 4, 2026 is the first Friday of the month, and this is the LAST Employment Situation date BLS has published. [2026-09-20 re-verified] bls.gov returned HTTP 403 to plain curl again today, so the primary table could not be read this round. The New York Fed's indicator calendar for December 2026 (i-dec26) was fetched for the first time this round (HTTP 200) and lists "Employment Situation (08:30)" under Friday, December 4 — an exact match, which is a genuinely independent confirmation of the last published row rather than a re-read of the same page. Schedule risk: the 2025 appropriations lapse cancelled the October 2025 Employment Situation outright, and a February 2026 lapse pushed the January 2026 jobs report from Feb 6 to Feb 11.

U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, Washington, DC

BLS Consumer Price Index for November 2026. Released 8:30 a.m. ET. This is the LAST row of the published CPI release schedule. [2026-09-20 re-verified] bls.gov returned HTTP 403 to plain curl again today, so the primary table could not be read this round. The New York Fed's indicator calendar for December 2026 (i-dec26) was fetched for the first time this round (HTTP 200) and lists "Consumer Price Index (08:30)" under Thursday, December 10 — an exact match, independently confirming the last published row. No 2027 dates have appeared on either source. Schedule risk: a February 2026 appropriations lapse pushed the January 2026 CPI from Feb 11 to Feb 13.

2027/1/8 晚上9:30–10:00 · Asia/Taipei

U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, Washington, DC

BLS Employment Situation report for December 2026. Expected 8:30 a.m. ET. NOT CONFIRMED — this is an estimate, not a published date. Jan 8, 2027 is the second Friday, the usual slot when the first Friday falls on New Year's Day (2027-01-01 is a Friday; the same situation in 2021 moved the December 2020 report to Jan 8, 2021). No 2027 BLS dates have been published as of 2026-09-11: the official Employment Situation table still ends with the November 2026 reference month (released 2026-12-04) and the CPI table with the November 2026 reference month (released 2026-12-10); the New York Fed's January 2027 calendar page exists but is completely empty of scheduled releases. Treat as an estimate until BLS posts its 2027 schedule. Schedule risk worth noting: the 2025 appropriations lapse cancelled the October 2025 Employment Situation outright (household-survey data could not be collected retroactively) and a further lapse in February 2026 pushed the January 2026 jobs report from Feb 6 to Feb 11 and the January 2026 CPI from Feb 11 to Feb 13. BLS's revised-dates page lists no revision, delay or cancellation for any release after September 2026 as of today.

BLS Consumer Price Index for December 2026. Expected 8:30 a.m. ET. NOT CONFIRMED — this is an estimate, not a published date. New this round: cpiinflationcalculator.com publishes a projected 2027 CPI calendar (explicitly labelled ‘Projected—BLS publishes its official 2027 schedule in late 2026’) whose December 2026 entry is Wednesday, January 13, 2027 — the same date this row already carried. That is an independent projection agreeing with ours, not an official confirmation, so the confidence stays low. No 2027 BLS dates have been published as of 2026-09-11: the official Employment Situation table still ends with the November 2026 reference month (released 2026-12-04) and the CPI table with the November 2026 reference month (released 2026-12-10); the New York Fed's January 2027 calendar page exists but is completely empty of scheduled releases. Treat as an estimate until BLS posts its 2027 schedule. Schedule risk worth noting: the 2025 appropriations lapse cancelled the October 2025 Employment Situation outright (household-survey data could not be collected retroactively) and a further lapse in February 2026 pushed the January 2026 jobs report from Feb 6 to Feb 11 and the January 2026 CPI from Feb 11 to Feb 13. BLS's revised-dates page lists no revision, delay or cancellation for any release after September 2026 as of today.

2026/9/11 晚上8:30–9:00 · Asia/Taipei

U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, Washington, DC

BLS Consumer Price Index for August 2026. Released 8:30 a.m. ET. Re-verified 2026-09-09 against the published CPI release-schedule table, which still lists this exact date and the 8:30 AM release time. bls.gov returns HTTP 403 through this proxy (both /schedule/news_release/cpi.htm and empsit.htm), so the usinflationcalculator mirror of the BLS table is used for the read-back; that page states it 'offers upcoming dates through December 2026'. The New York Fed national economic calendar independently shows Consumer Price Index (08:30) on September 11, 2026, matching this row. No 2027 BLS dates have been published as of 2026-09-09: the CPI table still ends with the November 2026 reference month (released 2026-12-10), and a fresh search turned up no official 2027 Employment Situation schedule.
