*Notes: Release of data for September 2025 through November 2025 was delayed due to the temporary suspension of federal government services, including the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). During the shutdown period, BLS and cooperative state programs were not collecting or publishing data.

**BLS announced October 2025 labor force data will not be published at any point. Household survey data from the Current Population Survey could not be collected for the October 2025 reference period due to a lapse in appropriations. The household survey data is not able to be retroactively collected.
