**[White House Official: Some Key U.S. Economic Data from October May Be Permanently Lost]** BlockBeats News, November 14: Economists are concerned that critical information regarding inflation and unemployment in the U.S. for October may vanish into a "data black hole." They were right: White House officials have stated that some key economic data may be permanently lost. One of President Trump's chief economic advisors, Hassett, said in an interview on Thursday that due to the longest government shutdown in history, the unemployment rate for October will not be released, marking the first time in 77 years that this data has failed to be published. However, Hassett noted that the estimated data for job creation in October will still be calculated—contradicting White House Press Secretary Levitt's claim a day earlier that the employment report might not be released at all. What remains unclear is whether the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for October will be published. Levitt had hinted that the CPI report might not be released, but Hassett did not comment on this matter.
