BLS cancels October jobs report

There is going to be a forever reminder of the US government shutdown on the chart. As rumored, the BLS won’t release the October jobs report.

For the establishment survey, which is the headline number in non-farm payrolls, that number for October will be included on Dec 16 when the November report is released. However the household report for October couldn’t be done, so there will be a blank page.

In other housekeeping, the October JOLTS report will be released on December 9.
