US October employment report will not be published, BLS says

"Household survey data from the Current Population Survey could not be collected for the October 2025 reference period due to a lapse in appropriations. The household survey data is not able to be retroactively collected."

The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics said on Wednesday it would not be publishing the closely watched employment report for October, after the recently ended shutdown of the government prevented the collection of data for the household survey.

"Establishment survey data from the Current Employment Statistics survey for October 2025 will be published with the November 2025 data," BLS said in a statement. "Household survey data from the Current Population Survey could not be collected for the October 2025 reference period due to a lapse in appropriations. The household survey data is not able to be retroactively collected."
