BLS to Publish September CPI Report on Oct. 24 Despite Shutdown

The Bureau of Labor Statistics said it will publish the September consumer price index on Oct. 24, marking a rare exception to release data during the government shutdown.

The report will come out that day at 8:30 a.m. in Washington, compared to the original publication date of Oct. 15, the agency said Friday.

“No other releases will be rescheduled or produced until the resumption of regular government services,” BLS said in a statement. “This release allows the Social Security Administration to meet statutory deadlines necessary to ensure the accurate and timely payment of benefits.”
