The October jobs and consumer price index reports may never come out even after the government reopens, the White House said Wednesday while pointing the finger at Democrats.
Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said policymakers at the Federal Reserve are left “flying blind” after the shutdown forced the Bureau of Labor Statistics to go dark, halting data collection and the release of key reports.
“The Democrats may have permanently damaged the Federal Statistical system, with October CPI and jobs reports likely never being released, and all of that economic data released will be permanently impaired, leaving our policymakers at the Fed flying blind at a critical period,” she told reporters.
