The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) announced on Friday that its first report following the government shutdown will be September's nonfarm payrolls. The data is scheduled for release at 8:30 a.m. Eastern Time on Thursday.
This development follows the 42-day government shutdown, the longest in U.S. history, which began on Oct. 1 and concluded after a bipartisan Senate deal on Wednesday that approved funding for government operations through Jan. 30.
