Free Price Index Meeting

Date: 01/02/2015

Author: H.E. Hough

The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) will be hosting a data users conference in downtown Chicago on Wednesday, May 13, 2015. This is a free event. BLS program specialists will be available from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. to discuss their programs with data users. BLS program overview sessions will also be conducted. There are a number of sessions that may be of interest to the Society’s members — specifically the one that covers the Producer Price Index and Import Export Price Indexes. The BLS Associate Commissioner for Prices and Living Conditions will be conducting a presentation on both of the data series. For more information and to register, go to
