What is on this calendar?
We list eight recurring BLS news releases (Consumer Price Index, Employment Situation, Producer Price Index, Real Earnings, JOLTS, Employment Cost Index, Productivity and Costs, Import and Export Price Indexes) and all FOMC meetings. Dates come straight from the agencies’ published schedules; we do not estimate dates that are not yet announced.
Agencies occasionally reschedule releases, for example during a lapse in federal appropriations. Always confirm on the agency site on the day. Read how to read a CPI release and how FOMC decisions work.
