The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics said on Friday it had canceled the release of October's consumer price report because the recently ended government shutdown had prevented the collection of data.

"BLS is unable to retroactively collect these data. For a few indexes, BLS uses nonsurvey data sources instead of survey data to make the index calculations," the BLS said in a statement. "BLS is able to retroactively acquire most of the nonsurvey data for October. Where possible, BLS will publish October 2025 values for these series with the release of November 2025 data."

The agency this week also canceled the release of October's employment report for the same reason.

Makes sense and it's happened before.

There are a ton of census surveys and reports that are unavailable to do because of the shutdown, so the CPI would be extremely flawed and incomplete.

Or just make up 900k jobs out of thin air like the last administration.


You got your September report and will get your November report.


Not having October doesn't mean jack shite.


I'll help you out, inflation for October was just under 2.5%. Wage growth is at 3.8%.


Crushing the last administration.

I don't see how as the metrics weren't compiled because the surveys weren't done.
