U.S. Department of Labor spokesman: Due to technical failures when non-farm data was released last week, the government failed to disclose key data in a timely manner

According to TechFlow, on August 28, the U.S. Department of Labor admitted that there was a major mistake in the release of the revised version of non-farm employment data last week. A spokesman for the Department of Labor said that due to technical failures, the government failed to disclose key data in a timely manner, and some staff provided this information to callers before the official release.

It is reported that the release of the revised version of non-farm data on August 21 was delayed by more than 30 minutes, resulting in a 22-minute time difference between internal employees and external users in obtaining information. The Ministry of Labor promised to improve the internal communication mechanism to prevent similar incidents from happening again.
