Political analysts and observers warned on Monday that President Donald Trump's latest move shows that "something is very wrong" with his economy, despite his claims that he has resurrected America's "Golden Age."

The Bureau of Labor Statistics announced on Monday that it was going to roll October's employment data into the November release that is scheduled to be published in January. Trump has worked to revamp the BLS during his second administration, going so far as to fire the agency's top statistician, Erika McEntarfer, in August after the BLS released a jobs report that contradicted Trump's messaging about the economy.

The news sparked backlash from analysts and observers on social media. "If the jobs report or the GDP report or the inflation report were good, the Trump Administration would have released them," Rep. Ted Lieu (D-CA) posted on X.

"Tough to make biz decisions without all the data," economist B. Dan Berger posted on X. "So much for economic transparency."

Wow. That's surprising.

2013's 16-Day Fed Shutdown delayed the ECI/CPI/PPI

During 2018's 35-Day Fed Shutdown BLS was funded, thus all the major reports were released.

During 2025's 43-Day Shutdown, BLS was unfunded, thus the reports will be delayed or canceled.

"Political analysts and observers warned"

If you know, you know.

BLS is collecting October reference period data on a delay due to the lapse in appropriations. BLS plans to publish October data with the November 2025 PPI news release on January 14, 2026.

And, I thought it was going to be nefarious rather than Gubmint Dumb.

I just hope that they fix whatever was causing the huge error corrections. The stats, as generated, were worse than nothing.

They have a whole LOT of reports they are all pushing into January.


I think we really won’t know until the middle of January whether or not the fourth quarter ended well or took a major hit.

I guess we celebrate a Santa Rally until then!
