This fall’s job numbers are being delayed because of shutdown

New jobs numbers are being delayed because of the 43-day federal government shutdown. The September jobs report comes out Thursday morning — 7 weeks late. And now the Labor Department says it won’t be releasing a full jobs report for October. The shutdown put a stop to calculating the nation’s unemployment rate and some other key numbers. Instead, it will release some of the October jobs data along with the full November jobs report in the middle of December.
