Important for investors reports on the US labor market will not be released due to the partial shutdown

The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics will postpone the release of the employment report for January, which was scheduled for Friday, February 6, Bloomberg writes. It was supposed to be the culmination of a busy week of economic statistics, recalls CNBC.

The publication will not take place on time due to the partial government shutdown, as the agency has suspended data collection and processing. "Publication will be rescheduled when government funding resumes," the bureau said in a statement.

It had already been forced to postpone the publication of a number of its regular reports after a record-long shutdown last year and has only recently completed work to address the effects of that downtime.

Other releases scheduled for this week, including December's open job openings and labor force turnover statistics and ag employment and unemployment data, have also been postponed.
