Nebius secures multi-year AI infrastructure deal with Microsoft
Investing.com -- The Bureau of Labor Statistics is experiencing technical difficulties with its website data retrieval tools just before the scheduled release of the monthly employment report on Friday.
"Sorry, we are currently experiencing technical difficulties. All BLS data retrieval tools will be available as soon as we’ve resolved the problem. We apologize for the inconvenience," the Bureau of Labor Statistics stated.
The agency’s data access systems are currently unavailable, though officials have not indicated whether these issues will delay the release of the employment data, which is scheduled for 8:30 a.m. Eastern Time.
The monthly employment report is one of the most closely watched economic indicators, providing crucial data on job creation and unemployment rates that influence financial markets and Federal Reserve policy decisions.
Investors are anticipating that the U.S. economy added 75 thousand jobs in August, with the unemployment rate expected to rise slightly to 4.3%.
Revisions to prior employment releases have been a significant concern recently and were highlighted by President Trump, which resulted in the dismissal of the BLS chief.
