Release Dates

*Notes: Release of data for September 2025 forward was delayed due to the temporary suspension of federal government services, including the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). During the shutdown period, BLS and cooperative state programs were not collecting or publishing data. BLS is redetermining release dates, and we will announce our new release dates (replacing the "to be determined" (TBD) notations above) as soon as possible.

**BLS has announced they will not publish national October 2025 labor force data. Household survey data from the Current Population Survey could not be collected for the October 2025 reference period due to a lapse in appropriations. The household survey data is not able to be retroactively collected. National nonfarm jobs data from the Current Employment Statistics survey for October 2025 will be published with the November 2025 data.
