White House Will Release October's Jobs Report--After Saying Data Would 'Likely Never' Publish

TOPLINE
National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett said Thursday the delayed jobs data for last month will be partially released, as Wall Street prepares for the release of a tranche of delayed key economic reports that it expects will show a declining labor market and high inflation.

KEY FACTS

* Hassett, speaking to Fox News on Thursday, said the October jobs report--originally scheduled for release on Nov. 7--will include data on the number of jobs added in the month, but will not include the unemployment rate because a household survey was not conducted during the government shutdown.
* Hassett's comments dispelled concerns the report would not be released, after White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said Wednesday that economic data for October would "likely never" be published and could be "permanently impaired."
* Hassett did not specify a release date for the data on jobs added in October, but noted the report for September, which was also delayed due to the government shutdown, has "already been cooked" and could potentially be released next week.

Until rats are cleared from the ship, all numbers are suspect.

Probably just more empty words on his part. Words convenient to him in the moment, but at the expense of tomorrow's truth.

That's an interesting phrase regarding a late and likely contentious report.

And when they are sent home from work for 6 weeks those things don't get done? And when they come back after 6 weeks they can't then hop in a time machine and do work in the past?

I wish everybody would stop pretending that we can shut down anything, really, for weeks and expect nothing to be affected. As if we can wave a wand and erase the opportunity cost of doing nothing. Every shut down, lockdown, slowdown, tie-up, roadblock, and delay has an effect. People doing nothing that would otherwise do something is a cost. Ignoring it doesn't mean it isn't paid.

2) they needed time to cook the books

3) they then needed to twist some arms to get everyone's story straight.
