Senator Warren urges release of delayed U.S. jobs and CPI data during shutdown

Amid the U.S. government shutdown, :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2} (D-Mass.) called on the White House to immediately release the delayed September employment data, which is crucial for labour-market and inflation monitoring. Her letter warned that withholding the report undermines transparency and hampers the :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}’s policy decisions. While the Bureau of Labor Statistics is legally required to publish the CPI index for Social Security, other economic releases remain suspended. Investors say the missing data is increasing uncertainty ahead of the Fed’s rate decision later this month.
