Statewide Iowa (RI) — The government shutdown impacted the workers who compiled the federal data that figures out Iowa’s unemployment rate.
Iowa Workforce Development spokesman Jesse Dougherty says they will have data for the last two months of the year in January.
He says November will get things back on track.
Dougherty says the data from October and November will be released next month.
Survey information for September had already been gathered before the government shutdown, and that data was released earlier this month. The September information showed the unemployment rate fell to 3.7%, down 0.1%.
