Approved acquired snapshot: September 30, 2026

The visible site uses a frozen acquisition of national indicators. It is not an unattended live feed. The current catalog contains 41 concepts and 39,835 default-series observations. Additional CPI and unemployment variants are stored in the JSON snapshot. Site acquisition, validation, source publication and reference periods are separate fields.

BLS series in this snapshot extend through August 2026 for the monthly measures and Q2 2026 for the Employment Cost Index. The producer release dates vary by program. H.15 daily selected rates extend through September 28, 2026 in the acquired file; weekends and missing observations remain gaps.

Reviewed BEA update and additional programs

The September 30 BEA spreadsheets contain Q2 2026 GDP and monthly national accounts through August 2026. Real GDP’s published annualized Q2 growth is 2.2%, compared with 1.5% in the earlier August 26 file. Historical values can change at the same time as the newest observation.

Census retail is updated through August using its advance release, with revised June and July endpoints from that same file. G.17 production and utilization cover August. DOL initial claims cover the week ending September 19, while continued claims cover September 12. The latest DOL release supplements the lagging XML history; both inputs and row lineage are retained.

The permits history reports 1,403 thousand housing units at an annual rate for August, while the September 17 preliminary release reports 1,394 thousand. We use the preserved history and disclose the difference. Its publication timestamp is unknown; the acquisition date is not substituted for it.

Acquisition and publication remain separate

The source-fetching script writes a candidate directory rather than replacing public pages. An operator reviews metadata, source completeness, headline values and period-by-period changes before publishing. There is no running subscription, alert-delivery queue or automatic trading infrastructure in this build. A deployment should not imply those services are active.

The release calendar is a verified schedule snapshot. Events marked Scheduled are agency plans, not declarations that data has been published or made available here. Schedule changes must be checked at the linked agency page. Original timezone and UTC timestamps are kept separately.

Known source transitions

The Federal Reserve announced removal of DDP Build Your Package in the week of November 9, 2026, with later retirement steps. Historical XML is identified as continuing through statistical release pages. The current H.15 adapter uses a downloadable package and must be reviewed during that transition. The raw approved file is preserved so a backend migration cannot rewrite this snapshot.

BEA metro discontinuation and conflicting QCEW metro cutoff notices are documented on the regions page. No regional values depend on silently resolving those issues.

Regional data freshness

State annual GDP and income cover 2025 in files updated September 30, 2026. Regional prices cover 2024 in a February 19 publication. State labor covers August 2026 in the September 18 release. The reviewed regional version preserves its own files and hashes alongside the original acquisition.
