               During the 2013 government shutdown, Bureau of Labor Statistics Commissioner Erica Groshen was in charge of a three-person skeleton crew. One day, her phone rang. She was caught off guard after realizing who was on the other end of the line.

               It was then-Federal Reserve Chair Ben Bernanke. He asked if the Fed could cover the cost of releasing the September jobs report ahead of a major decision on bond rates. Groshen routed Bernanke’s request through officials at the Department of Labor and the Office of Management and Budget.

               The episode underscores the importance of the frequent, timely information that BLS publishes on the state of the U.S. labor market. Last week flew by without a release of the September jobs report, since the BLS is, once again, virtually shuttered by a government shutdown. Now, economists, financial analysts, and more are seeking alternatives while the jobs report is on ice.

               Fed Governor Stephen Miran weighed in 
on the private sector alternatives while the BLS jobs report is postponed indefinitely. “They're good to look at while you have nothing else, but I don't think that any of them are really sufficient replacements for the government data,” Miran said Tuesday at a Managed Funds Association policy conference.

               The BLS will likely be able to quickly release the September employment data once government funding is restored. Until then, I checked in with the two past 
heads of the BLS about how they’re stacking up the labor market without BLS data. Here’s what they said.

               Beach helmed the BLS during the first Trump administration and into the Biden administration. Without the monthly Employment Situation Summary — the official label for the jobs report — he’s relied on models from Moody’s and S&amp;P Global.

               ADP data does have its limits, Beach says. Its information is likelier to draw from medium and larger companies that can afford to outsource payroll and human resources functions to an external firm. That risks overlooking anywhere from six to eight million small businesses that technically don’t have employees, Beach says. For example, a restaurant could count family members as staff who are compensated with a portion of the 
sales.

               Like ADP, there are drawbacks to excessive reliance on Revelio. Groshen described it as a 
“convenience sample” that’s easy to collect but might include unintended biases in the data. For example, it could oversample for an industry like tech or manufacturing.
