Latest BLS index - June 2026
Refreshed July 16, 2026 from the BLS Public Data API v2. BLS may revise preliminary PPI values after first publication.
June 2018 to June 2026 · 5 monthly observations
Source: U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Updated July 16, 2026. Price index, not a local supplier quote.
Methodology
The latest value is the newest monthly observation returned for BLS series WPU132101. The 1-year, 5-year, and 10-year changes compare it with the same calendar month in the earlier year, not an annual average.
The interactive chart and downloadable CSV use every monthly observation returned in the 12-calendar-year update window. The chart defaults to 10 years and can show 1 year, 5 years, or the full available window. BLS series can use different reference periods, so compare percentage movement across materials, not raw index levels.
Latest BLS note: Preliminary. All indexes are subject to monthly revisions up to four months after original publication.

How contractors should use it
Use aggregate movement to sanity-check earthwork, concrete, paving, base-course, and drainage material allowances.
Limits
- - Aggregates are highly local because haul distance can dominate delivered cost.
- - This national index is useful for trend context, not a substitute for quarry or supplier quotes.
FAQ
Is this a current local material price?
No. These pages use official price indexes. They show price movement over time, not a supplier quote for a specific location, delivery distance, grade, mix, or quantity.
Why use BLS Producer Price Index data?
The BLS Producer Price Index is an official monthly source for price movement by commodity and industry. It is suitable for long-term trends, charting, and citation.
How should contractors use these indexes?
Use them as a source-backed trend check before updating allowances, quote validity periods, escalation assumptions, and estimating templates. Always confirm project pricing with local suppliers.
