What is the Consumer Price Index Report?
FROM 1 minute ago
Each month, the Bureau of Labor Statistics releases its Consumer Price Index report.
CPI measures the monthly change in the prices of a representative basket of goods and services. CPI is a weighted average of prices and is used as a metric for inflation and deflation.
The BLS collects prices monthly from about 80,000 retail stores, service establishments, rental units, and doctors’ offices. That data is then used to track price changes nationwide.
