BLS cancels October 2025 CPI and Real Earnings releases
Change
The US Bureau of Labor Statistics will not release the October 2025 Consumer Price Index and Real Earnings data.
Why it matters
BLS did not collect October 2025 reference-period survey data because of a lapse in appropriations. The unavailable datasets include the Consumer Price Index and the Real Earnings summary. Government funding was later restored and normal operations resumed, but the October reference-period data remain unavailable. BLS is unable to retroactively collect the October 2025 survey data.
Implications
- • Monthly CPI-based inflation calculations lack an October 2025 observation for month-over-month comparisons.
- • Real Earnings time series lack an October 2025 entry for wage and earnings analyses.
