What do these figures leave out, and how are they cited?Limits, dates and how to cite
What this number cannot tell you
- The index is not adjusted for the season, as BLS publishes it in this series.
- BLS marks the newest four months preliminary and revises each of them in the four releases that follow.
- We keep every release, so the table of first published values starts with the first release we kept and grows by one month with each release.
- The index is shown to one decimal, but the changes, the ranks, the differences and the highest and lowest values are ours, worked out from the values BLS publishes, which have up to three. A change can therefore differ by 0.1 from one worked out from the values as shown.
