"Ben Casselman reporting for the New York Times: The Bureau of Labor Statistics will not release monthly jobs numbers on Friday as scheduled because of the partial government shutdown, said Emily Liddel, an associate commissioner for the bureau. The report, one of the most closely watched economic indicators each month, would have provided data on job growth, unemployment and wages in January, as well as annual revisions to employment estimates from 2024 and 2025."
"The report "will be rescheduled upon the resumption of government funding," Ms. Liddel said. A report on job openings and turnover in December, scheduled for release on Tuesday, will also be delayed."
The Bureau of Labor Statistics will not release the monthly jobs numbers for January as scheduled because of the partial government shutdown. The delayed data include job growth, unemployment rates, wages for January, and annual revisions to employment estimates from 2024 and 2025. The release will be rescheduled upon the resumption of government funding. A report on job openings and labor turnover for December, originally scheduled for Tuesday, will also be delayed. The postponements leave policymakers, markets, and analysts without timely official labor-market benchmarks until funding resumes.
