The White House said Wednesday that it was unlikely the federal jobs report or the consumer price index reports that were due to be released in October would be published after the government shutdown ends.

“The Democrats may have permanently damaged the federal statistical system, with October CPI and jobs reports likely never being released, and all of that economic data released will be permanently impaired, leaving our policymakers at the Fed flying blind at a critical period,” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said.

The statement caught investors and economists by surprise, especially Leavitt’s suggestion that the September report could be shelved altogether. As recently as Monday, analysts at Morgan Stanley wrote that they expected the jobs report to be published within three business days of the government reopening.

Leavitt’s comment about the October CPI inflation report came as less of a surprise. Economists had already expected that it might not be released because federal workers who would have collected the data if the government had been open were not deployed after Oct. 1.

The most recent jobs report issued before the shutdown began was the August jobs report, which was released on Sept. 5.

It was unclear Wednesday whether Leavitt meant that the jobs report for the month of October that was scheduled to be released on Nov. 7 would not be released, or September’s report, which was due to be issued on Oct. 3.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics and the Department of Labor did not immediately respond to requests for comment on Leavitt’s comments.

Already, policymakers, market participants and economists expect a fog of data after the shutdown ends.

Opinions on how the lack of data could impact the Federal Reserve’s next monetary policy moves are mixed.

Some economists expect the Fed to make do with private data, such as the recently released private jobs report from ADP, which showed that employers added 42,000 jobs in October.

However, that slightly more optimistic private-sector jobs report came after a series of official jobs reports from the Bureau of Labor Statistics showed a shakier labor market.

The lack of government data “is a temporary state of affairs,” Fed Chair Jerome Powell said on Oct. 29.

“If you ask me, ‘Could it affect the December meeting?’ I’m not saying it’s going to, but ... what do you do if you’re driving in the fog? You slow down,” he said.

Is anyone actually surprised this happened?

Not really. The Democrat Shutdown had disastrous effects and achieved none of the desired outcomes for anybody.

For fucks sake anon, this is literally the worst cope you people have come up with the entire time.
Democrats didn't want it, Republicans didn't want it, nobody wants it because it's a bad choice and you know it. Democrats themselves have never even tried doing this at any point.

Are you just paid to say stupid things and get replies or something?

Do republicans control every aspect of government or not?

Not gonna lie, this isn't a good

>>1457157
Yup. And they used their power benevolently by not getting rid of the senate filibuster even though they could have, something Democrats themselves have never tried to even do.

They allowed Democrats their ability to protest, even though they it very poorly and and in bad taste and caused the shutdown of the government and even though democrats got nothing out of all this trouble they caused for America, they were still allowed their right to protest.
