Release Dates and Insights for Delayed Economic Reports Revealed
The upcoming release of delayed economic reports has attracted significant attention from market analysts and economic observers. These reports are crucial for understanding the current state of the labor market and inflation trends.
Release Dates and Insights for Delayed Economic Reports Revealed
Kevin Hassett, Director of the National Economic Council, announced on Thursday that some of the delayed jobs data for October will be available soon. This follows concerns raised by market analysts regarding the labor market’s performance amid ongoing inflation challenges.
Key Details from Hassett’s Statement
- The October jobs report was originally due on November 7.
- It will provide data on job additions but will omit the unemployment rate.
- The absence of unemployment data is due to a lack of a household survey during the government shutdown.
Hassett’s remarks clarified previous uncertainties. Previously, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt indicated that certain data for October might “likely never” be released. She expressed concerns that the reports could be “permanently impaired.”
Delayed Reports and Their Impact
Several key economic reports were postponed during the government shutdown. The following outlines the impacted reports:
| Report | Original Release Date | New Release Date |
|---|---|---|
| September Jobs and Unemployment Report | October 3 | Pending |
| September Consumer Price Index (CPI) | October 24 | As Scheduled |
| September Consumer Expenditures Report | October 30 | As Scheduled |
| October Jobs Report | November 7 | Pending |
| October CPI Report | November 13 | As Scheduled |
As these reports become available, analysts will gain valuable insights into the labor market’s performance amid high inflation. Hassett also mentioned that the September jobs report, which faced delays earlier, is “already been cooked” and could be unveiled next week.
