ET, the Bureau of Labor Statistics was supposed to release the September jobs report. There will be no more employment data until the government is funded again. It’s still not clear how much of the recent labor market slowdown can be attributed to lower immigration, JPMorgan economist Abiel Reinhart wrote earlier this week, noting a sudden loss of such labor could boost openings in affected industries. As of mid-September, only seven states’ unemployment rates increased at least 0.5 percentage points above their prior 12-month lows, according to the Weekly Labor Market Stress Indicator. The current suite of non-federal labor market data paints a mixed picture, but one with some bright spots.
