00:02A partial government shutdown will delay the planned release of January employment data,
00:06according to Axios. Congress failed to pass funding bills last week, including funding
00:12for the Labor Department, which oversees the Bureau of Labor Statistics, amid a standoff
00:16over immigration enforcement. As a result, the employment situation report scheduled for Friday,
00:22February 6th, will not be released on time. The shutdown will also delay the December job
00:27openings and labor turnover data due Tuesday and metro area employment data due Wednesday.
00:32BLS said the underlying data has already been collected. House Speaker Mike Johnson said
00:37lawmakers expect to pass funding legislation early this week.
