News Releases are the most current news releases produced by various BLS programs and surveys. News releases are grouped according to major BLS statistical categories (i.e. Employment and Unemployment, Prices and Living Conditions, etc...) for quick reference and contain pre-formatted data tables along with text explanations provided by BLS economic staff.

Series Report is a form-based application which uses BLS timeseries identifiers as input in extracting data from each survey-specific database according to a specified set of date ranges and output options. Primarily for use by experienced users of BLS timeseries data, this application provides the most efficient path for those users who are familiar with the format of each survey-specific timeseries identifier and do not require any further assistance in formulating a query. For further information on this application, access Series Report - Information and Help.
