January jobs report delayed due government shutdown

(NBC, KYMA) - The January jobs report will be delayed due to the government shutdown.

According the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the report will not be released until the government is funded. The January employment report was scheduled to be released Friday.

The government funding lapse is expected to be brief as the House Rules Committee is set to meet Monday to set up a floor vote to end the shutdown as soon as Tuesday.

During the last government shutdown, the September 2025 jobs report was delayed. That report was supposed to be issued on October 3, but was pushed to November 20.
