Why would anyone NOT be surprised by this? Since when does a storm cause a delay in this report? Unless they WANT to delay it until after the election
The U.S. Labor Department on Monday said it is “working hard to ensure the timely release” of the October jobs report, saying it intends to released the report on schedule Friday despite Hurricane Sandy.
“It is our intention that Friday will be business as usual,” said Carl Fillichio, a senior press advisor at Labor. Mr. Fillichio’s statement provided clarity to an earlier Labor statement that said the agency would assess how to handle data releases this week after the “weather emergency” is over.
Friday’s employment report will be the final read on the labor market ahead of the November elections. Initial reports that a delay was possible briefly fueled speculation that the jobs data, good or bad, might not be revealed until after the elections.
Federal government offices in Washington are closed Monday and may be shut again Tuesday due to the storm.
The Labor Department is also scheduled to release its third quarter employment cost index on Wednesday, and the third quarter productivity and weekly jobless claims reports on Thursday.

Similar to more information about Benghazi. They will stop at nothing to keep Americans in the dark about the poor decisions and progress being made by this inept administration.

Hurricane Sandy might be the best thing to ever happen to the Obama administration (aside from using George Bush's military assets to kill Bin Laden).
Hurricane Sandy will do what Obama could not: Take most people's minds off Obama's failures just before the election.

The lkast thing the Obama administration wants to release before the election are FACTS!
Also.............
The Census Bureau may hold off on its scheduled economic reports until next week. Construction spending was due on Thursday and probably wouldn’t have had any impact on the election, but the report on factory orders was also scheduled for Friday, and that might have had an impact on the general opinion of the state of manufacturing.
Given that we just had a big outlier in the household survey, and even Obama’s advisers painting that as “too optimistic” as a way to lower expectations on the jobless-rate number due in four days, it seems rather convenient that these two bureaucracies might take a pass on reporting October numbers on time. The hurricane certainly will impede business, but the government is supposed to plan for such contingencies — and the absence of this data might end up looking worse than the data itself.

We all know. Obama and the Democrats don't really care what WE who question his honesty, or ability to be a leader, or president think.
Obama and the Democrats are only concerned with being able to continue Lying, Bluffing, and Fooling the very same people who voted for him in 2008.
In other words. The only ONE WAY Obama and the Democrats can be sure of their methods of winning is to LIE, LIE, LIE, and LIE. Knowing the 55 million Americans they fooled in 2008...still haven't been Educated, or become Informed enough to think with anything, or about anything other than that Obama is Black, and though they deny it.
We all know. They only reason they voted for him once, and will vote for him again is....SKIN COLOR.
It doesn't matter whether he is smart enough. Since they know. Obama is much smarter than all of them...and their votes for him prove it.

The only jobs Obama is concerned about is his job
I am waiting for his supporters to plead to the voters with something like
"Do we really need another unemployed black man in America? Vote for Obama!!"

BLS might delay the release of Friday’s jobs report — the last one before Election Day and one nobody has any confidence in — due to Hurricane Sandy (http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2012/10/29/BLS-May-Delay-Jobs-Numbers).
Since the BLS has been making up the numbers for years, I say we make up our own.
<script type="text/javascript">googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1347323895031-4</script>Eleventy-billion jobs created! Because of stimulus! Part-time workers promoted to full-time pay for few hours! Hourly wages up, up, up! Because Obama! We’re saved!
There. Think of how much trouble I just saved the good folks at BLS. Now they can stay dry without having to do any of their typical Friday Fluffing.
