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.
