Online calendar subscription — automatically updated:

If you use a recent version of an electronic calendar, you may be able to subscribe to the BLS Online Calendar.
See details below for users of different types of calendars.

• Instructions for Outlook and Apple iCal Users:
  • Simply click on this link: webcal://www.bls.gov/schedule/news_release/bls.ics
    (Note: Link may seem to be broken if you do not have Outlook or Apple iCal installed.)
  • If the link webcal://www.bls.gov/schedule/news_release/bls.ics doesn't work for you, try downloading the file at https://www.bls.gov/schedule/news_release/bls.ics and then open it as a new calendar or import its items into your calendar.

• Instructions for Google Calendar, Mozilla, and Evolution Users:
  • Copy and paste the URL address https://www.bls.gov/schedule/news_release/bls.ics into your calendar.

NOTE: We do not recommend using this online calendar with Outlook 2003 or older versions. The calendar will not update automatically in those applications.

The BLS calendar contains publication dates for most news releases scheduled to be issued by the BLS national office in upcoming months. It is updated as needed with additional news releases, usually at least a week before their scheduled publication date.
