US EditionLabor Department scraps October jobs report due to shutdown
- On Wednesday, the U.S. Labor Department announced it will not publish a full October jobs report, omitting the unemployment rate due to data gaps from the government shutdown.
- Because field staff were furloughed during the 43-day federal government shutdown, Current Population Survey household survey data could not be collected and cannot be retroactively collected.
- BLS said it will bundle October employer payroll data with the delayed November jobs report due December 16, while Automatic Data Processing Inc. showed 42,000 jobs added in October.
- The Federal Reserve will now lack the final pre-meeting jobs snapshot before Dec. 9, removing the last full hiring and unemployment data, and CME Group's FedWatch tool raised December hold odds to 66%.
- It is the first time in 12 years that monthly jobs data hasn't been released and follows months of controversy including the firing of Bureau of Labor Statistics commissioner Erika McEntarfer.
