Labor Department Says No Decision Yet on Whether to Delay Jobs Report ByEric Morath

The U.S. Labor Department on Monday said it hasn’t made a decision yet on whether to delay Friday’s October jobs report, the final reading on the labor market before next week’s federal elections.

A Labor official said the agency will assess the schedule for all its data releases this week when the “weather emergency” is over.

Labor is scheduled to release the employment report on Friday, third quarter employment costs on Wednesday and weekly jobless claims on Thursday.

Chicago machine rules:

The numbers in any way good, release the numbers.

If the numbers are bad, hide the numbers until after Tuesday.

They lied on the last report big time.

It is likely they will delay this report to keep from having to admit it before the election.

Last time they showed 600,000 new “part time” jobs.

Agreed. It’s not like they can’t press enter BEFORE Friday. They know the number and its not good. If it was at all helpful to Obama we wouldn’t be having this discussion.
