Although the federal shutdown has ended and the Bureau of Labor Statistics has resumed operations, a release said the Oregon Employment Department is not able to prepare its monthly statewide employment report this week as originally scheduled.

That is due to a continued lack of federal data. OED was also unable to prepare a full report in October for the same reason.

The next monthly report was scheduled to be released on Wednesday.

OED is in close communication with BLS officials and is awaiting guidance about federal survey data for the months of September and October that were impacted by the shutdown. OED uses that data to prepare the monthly report, including the state’s unemployment rate and non-farm payroll employment.

The release said OED hopes to have more information soon and will provide an update on the schedule for releasing payroll and employment data when it is available.
