    CWIA will not issue a stand-alone press release for October 2025 data. Instead, October 2025 Current Employment Statistics (jobs) data will be published as part of the November 2025 sub-state data releases on Friday, January 16th, 2026.

    Additionally, October 2025 labor force data, including the unemployment rate, will not be produced. Household data from the Current Population Survey, which serve as the primary input to the Local Area Unemployment Statistics (labor force) models, were not collected for the October 2025 reference period due to a lapse in appropriations and will not be collected retroactively.
