Federal shutdown delays release of WA employment data
Employment data for Washington state won’t be published until after the federal government reopens, the state Employment Security Department confirmed this week.
The department provides data and analysis on Washington’s employment conditions, job market and workforce, including unemployment rates, wages, income and employment trends.
The agency was scheduled to release its regular monthly employment report for September 2025 on Oct. 15, but that release will be delayed until the federal shutdown that began Oct. 1 ends.
An Employment Security Department spokesperson confirmed there will be no gaps in the data — just a delay in release.
