From the BLS: Updated Schedule of BLS News Releases

See the table below for some of the updated dates.

There will be concerns about the data for some time (this is the October employment report reference week). As an example, from the Cleveland Fed: Implications of the Government Shutdown on Inflation Estimates

Each month, the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) releases estimates of the Consumer Price Index (CPI) and the Producer Price Index (PPI). The government shutdown, which ended late on October 16, caused a delay in the release of these statistics and many of the statistics and data products that rely on them. But the shutdown will also affect the accuracy of these statistics for months to come. This article outlines the impact of the shutdown, particularly on the accuracy of the CPI.

The repercussions on CPI estimates will continue for at least seven months. Some of these repercussions will occur later this month, but the majority of the influence will occur the next month, in November, when the monthly overall inflation estimates derived from the CPI will be subject to significant error.
