US macro-economic release SCHEDULE — when CPI, PPI, the Employment Situation (jobs report), JOLTS, FOMC meetings, weekly DOL jobless-claims reports and Treasury auctions happen, in Eastern Time. This pack answers when, never what the number was — for the released values, use bls or fred.

Tools

• econ_calendar_upcoming({hours?, days?, types?}) — every tracked release falling in the next N hours/days, sorted by datetime.
• econ_calendar_next({release, from?}) — the next occurrence of one release type (cpi, ppi, employment_situation, jolts, fomc, claims, treasury_auction).
• econ_calendar_recent({days?}) — releases in the last N days (“what came out this week”).

Data sources

• https://www.bls.gov/schedule/news_release/cpi.htm, ppi.htm, empsit.htm, jolts.htm — BLS’s own annual release calendars, published roughly 12-13 months ahead.
• https://www.federalreserve.gov/monetarypolicy/fomccalendars.htm — the FOMC meeting calendar, via the already-live fed-comms pack’s fomc_calendar tool (compound call — this pack does not re-scrape it).
• DOL weekly Unemployment Insurance claims: fixed Thursday 08:30 ET cadence (https://oui.doleta.gov/unemploy/claims.asp, https://www.dol.gov/), computed rather than fetched, with a hardcoded override for the one known 2026 holiday shift (Thanksgiving week: Thu 2026-11-26 → Wed 2026-11-25).
• https://www.treasurydirect.gov/TA_WS/securities/upcoming — Treasury’s own live, keyless JSON auction calendar. Fetched live on every call.

Important gotcha: bls.gov cannot be fetched live

www.bls.gov’s entire host sits behind Akamai bot-management that rejects every automated client we tried on 2026-09-13 — bare curl, curl with a full browser header set (UA, sec-ch-ua-*, all four Sec-Fetch-*), and a live deployed Cloudflare Worker fetch() all got an immediate 403 Access Denied from AkamaiGHost, including on /robots.txt. This is not the “send a browser UA” class of block documented for war.gov/dol.gov/gao.gov — those pass with the right headers; bls.gov does not, from any of curl, a CF Worker, or (separately) data.bls.gov’s own general pages (its /timeseries/<series> data-table path is, oddly, NOT blocked — but it carries no schedule information, just series data). Because of this, the CPI/PPI/Employment-Situation/JOLTS tables in src/index.ts are a static, checked-in copy of what bls.gov’s schedule pages showed as of 2026-09-13, read via a real browser-backed fetch rather than scraped by this pack at runtime.

Refreshing it: re-read https://www.bls.gov/schedule/news_release/{cpi,ppi,empsit,jolts}.htm (a tool with real browser rendering — not curl, not a Workers fetch() — is required to get past the Akamai wall) and extend each *_SCHEDULE array. BLS publishes about a year ahead, so refresh before the tables run out — econ_calendar_next/_upcoming degrade honestly (schedule_not_yet_published) rather than guessing once a query runs past the last row, but that’s a worse answer than a refreshed table.

Treasury and the Fed calendar have no such problem — both are fetched live (Treasury directly; FOMC via fed-comms) and need no manual refresh.
