Washington, DC (CNBC) — The Bureau of Labor Statistics will delay the January jobs report due to the government shutdown. The report will be rescheduled once government funding resumes.

## Impact of Shutdown on Economic Data
The Bureau was also affected by last year’s shutdown, leading to delays in releasing key labor and consumer-related data.

## Expectations for Jobs Report
Markets were anticipating an increase of 55,000 jobs and an unchanged unemployment rate of 4.4%. The report includes data on nonfarm payrolls and the household survey on employment.
