These are the government reports we are still waiting for after the lockdown

The government shutdown ended three weeks ago, and statistical agencies are working to catch up on missed economic releases.

After being closed for 43 days, federal offices that track inflation, employment and economic growth fell behind schedule in many reports, but are starting to catch up.

This week we will see inflation data for September, which was scheduled to be published in October. There are many other unreleased reports that agencies such as the Census Bureau, Bureau of Economic Analysis, and Bureau of Labor Statistics still need to issue, cancel, or merge.
