No data collection happened once the shutdown began as workers were furloughed.<\/p>\n<p datatype=\"p\" data-qa=\"Component-Component\" class=\"e8zc9q40 css-1c6uqr6 ec74h0k1\">Hassett, speaking to reporters at the White House, said it\u2019s possible the September report, which was due on October 3, comes out next week. Data collection for that report was completed by the time the shutdown began on October 1.<\/p>\n<p datatype=\"p\" data-qa=\"Component-Component\" class=\"e8zc9q40 css-1c6uqr6 ec74h0k1\">Statistical agencies, as well as other government departments, are slowly getting back up and running since Trump signed a law restoring funding late on Wednesday. BLS, which will probably put out an updated release schedule soon, didn\u2019t immediately respond to a request for comment.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"US President Donald Trump (centre) signs the funding package to re-open the federal government in the Oval Office on Wednesday, ending the longest shutdown in US history.
