We're MONTHS late on the PPI. The January PPI was late also and some statement was released about "statistical problems" or other malarky.

The U.S. Labor Department statistical agency has indefinitely delayed the release of the January and February PPI reports due to problems converting the data to a new industry classification system.

The January PPI, which measures prices paid to farms, factories and refineries, was originally scheduled for release on Feb. 19. The February report was due to be released this coming Friday.

The nearly three-week delay for the January report is unheard of in the government's statistics system. Some economists said they miss the wholesale price data, in part because it can offer early clues on profits and, by extension, hiring.
