The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics is here @usbls.bsky.social!

So great to see BLS back to work measuring and informing us about our large and dynamic economy.
Itβs a great institution full of dedicated civil servants deeply committed their mission. They have had a tough year, and everyone is covering for someone who left. I thank them all for their service.
Revised Release Dates for BLS Data Products.

Follow this BLS page to see the revised schedule for releases:

#CornellILR's @ericagroshen.bsky.social says that the unusual length of the government closure means that some data was not collected on schedule, creating potential gaps in the upcoming reports. Each economic series will be affected differently depending on how, when + from whom data was gathered.

Each economic data series will be affected differently by the shutdown, depending on how, when and from whom the data is collected, said @ericagroshen.bsky.social, senior economics advisor at #CornellILR. Still, expect the BLS and other agencies to prioritize Principal Federal Economic Indicators.
