Public record · US statistical agencies
The US economic calendar, from the agencies.
When the jobs report, CPI, GDP and the rest come out this week and next, taken from each agency’s own published schedule. For every release: the prior value, the actual once it lands, and where that print sits in the series’ own last five years. There are no consensus forecasts here. A print is placed against its own history instead.

How this calendar works
Dates. Read three times a day from each agency’s own schedule. When an agency moves a date, the release moves with it; when it drops one, the release is marked cancelled. The Department of Labor publishes no claims calendar, so claims follow its standing rule: Thursdays at 8:30 a.m. ET, Wednesday when Thursday is a federal holiday.
Prior and actual. Each release shows the number the agency headlines: the month-over-month change in CPI, the monthly change in payrolls, annualized GDP growth. The actual appears once the print reaches the Palanor lattice, usually the morning after release. The prior is last period’s value as revised in the same release.
vs. 5 years. The share of the same measure’s readings over the previous five years that sit below this one. The top and bottom deciles are marked. It needs at least eight readings.
First print or revised. An actual captured within three days of release is the number as first published. Earlier history was filled in later and shows today’s revised values.
No consensus. Consensus forecasts are survey products sold by data vendors. Palanor doesn’t republish them.
