Senator Warren Calls On Trump to Release September 2025 Jobs Report

Senator Warren Calls On Trump to Release September 2025 Jobs Report

Washington, DC - Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), Ranking Member of the Senate Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs Committee released the following statement:

"Donald Trump's economic agenda is inflicting massive pain on our economy and to add to the economic uncertainty, he's shut down the government rather than save health care for millions of Americans. But let's be clear: the jobs data scheduled to come out this Friday has undoubtedly been collected and the President must release it. Without it, the Federal Reserve will not have the full picture it needs to make decisions this month about interest rates that will impact every family across the country. Donald Trump has the power to make sure the federal government can continue producing and releasing this critical information on Friday and beyond during his shutdown."

Senator Warren also sent a letter to the Director of the Office of Management and Budget Russ Vought and the Acting Commissioner at the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) William Wiatrowski requesting the Administration release the September Employment Situation report on October 3, as scheduled.

Last week, the Department of Labor released its contingency plan indicating that key economic reports - including monthly jobs data from BLS - would not be published in the event of a government shutdown. But as former BLS Commissioner Bill Beach, appointed by President Trump, wrote yesterday, "the September data … have been completely collected and processed."
