Discontinuance of mailing paper copies of the Southwest Statistical Summary

As of April 1, 2008, subscribers will no longer receive paper copies of the Southwest Statistical Summary in the mail. The CPI portion of that publication will continue to be available through the Bureau's Web site at http://www.bls.gov/ro6/fax/cpinewtb.pdf.

A free email subscription service is available for the CPI summary. Shortly after the CPI table is posted online each month, subscribers to this service receive an email message containing a link to the web page. The subscription form with a list of available regional office CPI summaries (blue cards) is located at http://www.bls.gov/bls/list.htm. The “Southwest Statistical Summary” page showing labor force and industry employment for selected states can be downloaded from http://www.bls.gov/ro6/economy.pdf

The mailing of regional CPI summaries and other regional publications is being discontinued as a result of unanticipated budget constraints faced by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. See http://www.bls.gov/bls/budgetimpact.htm for details.
