The first economic data report that went unreleased due to the government shutdown will be released next week, the Bureau of Labor Statistics said Friday.

As the U.S. government reopens for business, Wall Street’s attention now turns toward when critical data on employment, inflation and other economic signposts will be released.

The first such report, on September nonfarm payrolls, will come out Thursday at 8:30 a.m., according to a BLS update posted on its website.

Economists expect that the “employment situation” report, as it is known, to include just the nonfarm payrolls count and not the unemployment rate.

That’s because the report entails two surveys: a more objective look at “hard data” from businesses that uses timecards and payroll numbers to assess how many jobs have been filled, and another entailing telephone calls and written surveys to households asking how many people are working. The latter survey is used to calculate the jobless rate and would be difficult to replicate.
