U.S. Government Shutdown Delays October Employment Data Release

According to BlockBeats, the release of the October non-farm employment data, initially scheduled for 21:30 UTC+8, is expected to be postponed due to the ongoing U.S. government shutdown. This marks the second consecutive absence of the non-farm report, following the unavailability of the September data. The U.S. Secretary of Labor has reiterated that the employment report will be published once the government resumes operations, as economic data cannot be released during the shutdown. On Friday, the U.S. Senate plans to vote on a new temporary funding bill to end the government closure. The Senate has previously failed to pass such a bill 14 times, resulting in the longest government shutdown on record.
