Key Evidence

Verified September 4, 2026
  • The Bureau of Labor Statistics’ June 2024 summary states that the CPI-U rose 3.0 percent from June 2023 to June 2024.

  • The U.S. Department of Labor’s July 11, 2024 official CPI release is contemporaneous primary documentation for the reported June 2024 measurement.

  • The remaining sources concern CPI data for other periods or provide general CPI-U series information, and do not conflict with the claim.

The reporting

What the Evidence Shows

The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that consumer prices, as measured by the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers, rose 3.0 percent from June 2023 to June 2024. That is the same as a 3.0 percent increase over the 12 months ending in June 2024, so the claim accurately states the reported result. The bureau published the finding in July 2024.bls.govbls.govConsumer prices up 3.0 percent from June 2023 to June 2024 : The Economics Daily...dol.govdol.govTransmission of material in this release is embargoed until USDL-24-1325

The other sources provide related CPI information but do not contradict the claim. The Bureau of Labor Statistics separately reported a 3.0 percent increase from January 2024 to January 2025 and from September 2024 to September 2025, while the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis provides a CPI-U index series rather than a direct account of the June 2024 year-over-year result. A Connecticut labor-market information page also identifies CPI-U data, but none of these sources changes the June 2024 finding.bls.govbls.govThe Consumer Price Index rose 3.0 percent from January 2024 to January 2025 :...fred.stlouisfed.orgfred.stlouisfed.orgConsumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers: All Items in U.S. City Average...+2 more

The claim is therefore supported as written. It describes a historical, unadjusted year-over-year CPI-U change reported by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, not a forecast or a claim about the current inflation rate.
