Note: The Bureau of Labor Statistics "embargoes" the release of Consumer Price Index Inflation Data. In other words, they keep it secret until a specified date so no one will have an unfair advantage by getting the Consumer Price information early.

The table below shows the dates the Consumer Price Index information will be released each month. Note that information is compiled for the previous month.
