What Month's Data Will Be Announced in the Next Month's Nonfarm Payroll Report?
While the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) will release "non-farm employment change" data tonight, it's important to note that the release period is not the usual one for the full month that just ended.
According to the official announcement, due to the prolonged US government shutdown, the October 2025 jobs report has been canceled. The Household Survey and Establishment Survey portions for October will be combined into the November 2025 report, which will be released later.
Therefore, if there is a release tonight, it will likely be the delayed September 2025 data or the portions that are still available for release (for example, the October establishment survey) along with the November report.
In other words, there will be no stand-alone non-farm employment change figure for October, as the normal reference month for October data would be included as part of a report covering November.
Here's the official information regarding the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) employment data release:
Data for October 2025 will not be released in full because the household survey was not conducted due to the US government shutdown.
Data for November 2025 will be released along with the establishment survey data for October, on December 16, 2025, at 8:30 a.m. ET.
If there is a release tonight, it will likely be the delayed September 2025 data or portions of it that were previously delayed due to the shutdown.
So, if you hear there will be a release tonight, it's not referring to October, but could be for September or the remaining portion of the data before the delay.
