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.

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.

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

This week is going to be a pretty big deal. On Tuesday, we get the ADP and BLS employment reports fifteen minutes apart. Then on Thursday, we get the various CPI measurements.
