5/ U.S. labor market weakness is concerning in the context of the stalled fight against inflation. Federal policymakers face a tough challenge balancing price stability and full employment while federal economic reports are delayed or canceled.

- END 🧵 -

4/ The #JobsDay data release covering October has been canceled, as has JOLTS data for September, according to a BLS notice. The next jobs data release, covering November, isn’t due until mid-December. Other BLS releases are also delayed.

3/ Employment in tariff-exposed industries trended down in September, as U.S. firms struggled to absorb new tariff policies, including an end to the de minimis exemption.

2/ Black and Hispanic U.S. workers in September continued to face elevated unemployment rates compared to White workers, regardless of gender—a trend likely exacerbated by federal layoffs and furloughs in October.
