PANews reported on November 13 that the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics failed to release the October CPI report as scheduled. The White House had previously warned that due to the government shutdown, investigators could not be deployed to the field to collect data, and the October non-farm payroll and inflation data might never be released. The U.S. government ended its shutdown on November 12, local time, and federal workers will return to work on November 13. The Bureau of Labor Statistics will release the September economic data after the government reopens.
