The U.S. Labor Department won’t release its monthly employment report if the federal government is closed on Oct. 4, the day of the scheduled release, according to an Obama administration official.
The official, who wasn’t authorized to discuss the process and spoke on condition of anonymity, couldn’t say how the report might be affected if the government is shut down and re-opens before the end of the week.
