The January jobs report will not be published on time due to the partial government shutdown, the Bureau of Labor Statistics has announced.The jobs report was slated for release on Friday, while the real earnings report would not be published until later next week, the BLS website stated.
But a BLS spokesperson told The Hill that the release of the jobs report would be delayed and that the agency would pause all data collection amid the shutdown.
The exact timetable for the publication of the jobs report remains unclear, as does the path to a final agreement to end the shutdown. The Senate passed an agreement to approve five of the six remaining funding bills and to pass a continuing resolution for the last one, though the House has not sent the measure to President Donald Trump’s desk.
He has urged the lower chamber to pass the deal without making any changes.
