MarketWatch updates the schedule throughout the week. Check their site for revisions. Check the Bureau of Labor Statistics too. They are catching up with delayed reports these days.

Revised news release dates following the 2025 lapse in appropriations

ADP has been filling in for the missing BLS reports.

ADP National Employment Report will be released on November 5, 2025, at 8:15 a.m. ET. The next weekly preliminary U.S. estimate of the private-sector employment number will be available on November 11, 2025, at 8:15am ET. See below for the weekly schedule through the remainder of the year.

For some reason, MarketWatch doesn't list the Challenger, Gray & Christmas job cut report. I'll add it when that day comes around.

The company released the October report at 7:15 a.m. on November 6, fifteen minutes ahead of the published schedule time. This might be the new release time from now on.

Note to self: 2026 Challenger Job Cut Report Release Calendar

Note that we have some delayed reports coming up this week (PCE, Friday) and next week (JOLTS, Tuesday). On Friday, BEA.gov won't be releasing the PCE reports until 10:00 a.m. instead of the originally scheduled 8:30 a.m.
