The U.S. Labor Department on Monday said it hasn’t made a decision yet on whether to delay Friday’s October jobs report, the final reading on the labor market before next week’s federal elections.

A Labor official said the agency will assess the schedule for all its data releases this week when the “weather emergency” is over.

Labor is scheduled to release the employment report on Friday, third quarter employment costs on Wednesday and weekly jobless claims on Thursday.

The U.S. Census Bureau also said it hasn’t made a decision on whether to delay economic reports it plans to release this week, including construction spending on Thursday and factory orders on Friday.

If you weren't a left-wing fanatic you would know that Obama had his communist operatives in Kenya generate Hurricane Sandy using giant fans. All so the labor department would have to close their offices and delay the jobs report!

They've been dicking with the numbers over and over. I wonder if they'll leave more "large states" out to make things look better. Or maybe they'll put up a better number, and then magically adjust it down days later after the ink has dried like they have been. Not even a little surprised.
