The week ahead: October 19–23
What’s coming on la.metrotrendlines.com the week of October 19–23 — 10 posts on the calendar.
Monday, October 19 — Buy or rent: the Los Angeles ratio, September 2026; Los Angeles asking rents, September 2026.
Tuesday, October 20 — Los Angeles’s home market, August 2026; Los Angeles wages after inflation, August 2026.
Wednesday, October 21 — Los Angeles-metro manufacturing jobs, August 2026; Los Angeles-metro payrolls, August 2026.
Thursday, October 22 — Los Angeles-metro construction jobs, August 2026; Restaurant and hotel jobs, August 2026.
Friday, October 23 — California jobless claims, week of Oct 10, 2026 (pending — its numbers haven’t landed yet); Los Angeles information-sector employment, August 2026.
This is the plan, not a promise. Every weekday post here is tied to a data release, and a release that slips takes its post with it — the post simply waits for the day its numbers land. A figure that arrives early, a revision worth writing about, or an unexpected story out of Los Angeles can just as easily add a post that isn’t on this list. Expect the week to look roughly like this, and expect at least one day of it not to.
