I got the above data from bls.gov. As you can see, the July and August has a “p” marked which represents preliminary.
Now, I have the following 5W questions.
When will the preliminary becomes “non-preliminary”?
What is the name for a non-preliminary data?
Where to look for the non-preliminary data once it’s out?
How often were the preliminary data revised?
By how much were the preliminary data revised?
Were the revised data significant?
