Commander ate the jobs report
By 
What an unlucky break:
The Labor Department announced Wednesday that it will not release monthly jobs numbers for October due to complications from the government shutdown, though it intends to include some data in November’s report.
The closely watched economic data is collected via two components: a survey of employer payrolls that is used for top-line changes in the number of people working and a parallel survey of individual households that provides the unemployment rate and other demographic information about the workforce.
Federal employees who conduct the household survey were furloughed during the period it would normally be collected, so the department’s Bureau of Labor Statistics does not have the necessary data.
“The household survey data is not able to be retroactively collected,” BLS said in a notice posted to its website.
BLS noted that it would include the October payroll survey data in its November report, which it moved from Dec. 5 to Dec. 16. Additionally, the agency said it is extending its collection period for the November data and “extra processing time will be added.”
The cancellation will mean that economists, businesses and policymakers, including those at the Federal Reserve, will continue to navigate a tricky economic environment for several more weeks with only a partial picture of where things stand — until BLS can return to its pre-shutdown rhythm that observers depend on. The extension for the November report also means it will arrive after Fed leaders meet in December.
Right, the shutdown. We’ll see what the excuse is next month.
This is relevant to the bullshitting is a better campaign strategy than governing strategy problem Trump has — this is not a political environment in which no information about the economy is going to be interpreted in favor of the incumbent government by marginal voters.
