Econintersect: Oh well, the unnecessary government shutdown continues. Today, the people were robbed of the unemployment data from the Department of Labor and US Census factory orders. [Editor’s Note: the unemployment data was eventually posted today despite the note the the site was not going to be updated].
Here is the note on the Department of Labor website where the unemployment data is released:
As a reminder, the note on the US Census website is similar:
Due to the lapse in government funding, census.gov sites, services, and all online survey collection requests will be unavailable until further notice.
Updates regarding government operating status and resumption of normal operations can be found at <usa.gov>.
There seems to be no end in sight for the shutdown. No talks have been announced. Both parties are spouting dogmatic positions which are indicative of politicans who are not willing to represent all the people (but only willing to service their narrow beliefs).
