WASHINGTON, D.C. — The Bureau of Labor Statistics announced it will not release the January jobs report this Friday as initially planned due to the ongoing partial government shutdown.
Bureau officials stated that the agency has suspended the collection, processing and release of labor market data until funding is restored.
The government entered a partial shutdown on January 31, 2026, after lawmakers failed to reach a funding agreement. This impasse was triggered by public outcry over the Department of Homeland Security’s immigration enforcement actions.
