CNBC announced the number as soon as it was released. Actually, they originally gave the wage increase (6 cents), and then a couple of minutes later showed a graphic that said wages had increased by 0.4 percent. Once, when I was without CNBC and was trying to get some econ data off the Web, I found that the Wall Street Journal got it out pretty fast (ahead of CBS Marketwatch, CNNfn, and Yahoo). You might also try going directly to the Department of Labor Web site; I imagine they would release data pretty quickly (I would hope at the same time as the release to the media and brokerage houses).
