BLS says to publish US December employment, CPI reports on schedule

WASHINGTON, Dec 9 (Reuters) - The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics said on Tuesday it would publish December's employment report and Consumer Price Index data on January 9 and 13 respectively as originally planned, bringing the release calendar for these indicators back on schedule.

The 43-day government shutdown delayed the release of economic data and forced the BLS to cancel the publication of some indicators, including the October employment, CPI and Producer Price Index reports.
