BLS latest-numbers page posts June inflation, jobs and trade data
The Bureau of Labor Statistics’ latest-numbers page shows June 2026 readings for inflation, unemployment, payrolls, wages and trade, plus first-quarter data on labor costs and productivity.
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics’ latest-numbers page, published July 22, lists June 2026 economic indicators including inflation, unemployment, payrolls, wages and trade prices.
The page also notes that annual 2025 Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey state data are now available and that monthly state estimates have been revised.
Among the June figures listed on the page, the Consumer Price Index was down 0.4%. The unemployment rate was 4.2%. Payroll employment was up 57,000 on a preliminary basis, and average hourly earnings rose by 13 cents on a preliminary basis. The Producer Price Index for final demand fell 0.3% on a preliminary basis, while U.S. import prices rose 0.3% and export prices fell 0.6%.
The page also lists first-quarter 2026 data. The Employment Cost Index rose 0.9%, and productivity increased 0.3% on a revised basis.
The page includes teaser links to other BLS material. Those teasers refer to childcare workers, preschool and kindergarten teachers, electric power generation employment from 2000 to 2025, approaches to missing data tied to the 2025 lapse in appropriations, job characteristics and workers’ views of job quality, and telework trends in the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1979 cohort.
The latest-numbers page does not add narrative context or method detail in the extracted text, but it serves as an entry point to the agency’s most recent labor market, inflation and productivity releases.
The page will be updated as the BLS posts new monthly and quarterly readings and as the agency publishes the linked state and topic-specific reports referenced there.
