Economic Release Reference

Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC): the Federal Reserve committee that reviews economic conditions and determines the stance of monetary policy. Its eight regularly scheduled meetings each year are distinct from BLS statistical releases. See the Federal Reserve’s FOMC overview.

Consumer Price Index (CPI): tracks price changes for a basket of goods and services purchased by urban consumers. The reference month identifies the period measured, not the day the figures are published. See the BLS Consumer Price Index overview.

Producer Price Index (PPI): tracks changes in the selling prices domestic producers receive for their output. It measures prices from a different perspective than CPI, so the two releases are not interchangeable. See the BLS Producer Price Index overview.

Employment Situation: brings together household and establishment survey results, including unemployment and payroll employment. Those measures answer different questions. The BLS Employment Situation tables and technical notes provide the definitions behind the figures.

Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey (JOLTS): reports job openings, hires, and separations. It adds a view of labor-market movement alongside the Employment Situation. See the BLS JOLTS overview.
