White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said she wants to \"prepare\" the public, National Economic Council Director Brian Deese is calling it \"confusing\" and even Labor Secretary Marty Walsh said to take the figures with a grain of salt. The report will come out Friday at 8:30 a.m. ET and investors are bracing for another uncertain number, adding to the volatile market environment.What's going on? The Bureau of Labor Statistics collects jobs data during the pay period that includes the 12th day of the month. In January, that week happened to coincide with new Omicron cases peaking in the U.S., when millions were calling out sick, quarantining or caring for others. If staff were not eligible for paid leave, they are going to be marked as not working.
