After November, you can extrapolate between September and November numbers to some success can't you?
Ha! You think we're getting November numbers? We won't get another jobs report while this administration is in charge if they can help it. They will just continue to tell us the economy is great. Meanwhile the local Walgreens (in a nice area of town) puts more and more items behind locked glass because folks feel compelled to steal basic necessities that keep getting more and more expensive.
The standard name brand stick of deodorant I've been buying for 25 years cost $3.99 in 2020. It's currently $9.99. Absurd.

Seems convenient This place would melt down if another administration was hiding data like this and blaming the other
It’s true. Both sides play the “Rules for thee, not for me” bullshite. The current administration is full of shite as well. There have been lots of mass layoffs recently. Numbers ain’t pretty. Job market is even worse than before.

That is not why they're stealing them.
They steal to resell, not for personal use.

Gee, could this possibly be the reason why they fired a perfectly competent director of Labor and Statistics and tried like hell to replace her with an unqualified 'yes man'???

Yeah man I'm sure they're stealing the 4 bottles of dove body wash that get stocked on a shelf at a time to resell on the black market. They must be making a killing on that $16 of street resell value.

You should read the news... and I'm not being snarky. These items are absolutely being stolen for resale. That $16 is pure profit, and it adds up over multiple trips, multiple stores, multiple people.

BLS
Consumer Price Index: Data Sources
The Consumer Price Index (CPI) is a measure of the average change over time in the prices paid by consumers for a representative basket of consumer goods and services. The CPI measures inflation as experienced by consumers in their day-to-day living expenses. The CPI is used to adjust income eligibility levels for government assistance, federal tax brackets, federally mandated cost of living increases, private sector wage and salary increases, and consumer and commercial rent escalations. Consequently, the CPI directly affects hundreds of millions of Americans.
The Consumer Price Index (CPI) is created from a series of interrelated surveys. The CPI requires
a geographic sample, which is a set of areas where prices will be collected;
a survey of consumer expenditures to create and appropriately weight a market basket of goods and services to be priced and to create a sample of outlets in which prices are collected; and
samples of prices for commodities, services, and housing.
