Federal Reserve officials may have to determine next steps for interest rates without access to the Bureau of Labor Statistics' September employment data.

For people who closely follow the U.S. economy, the first Friday of every month is known as “jobs Friday,” when the Bureau of Labor Statistics releases the previous month’s employment report at precisely 8:30 a.m. ET.

But on this jobs Friday, September's employment data — a critical window into the health of the U.S. labor market — will not be released.

Like many other federal offices, the BLS is temporarily closed because of the ongoing government shutdown.

Same as trump talking about removing the requirement for quarterly reports. He's doing a shit job and wants as little information about it out there as possible
