Yes, there will be no Employment Report. Since this means that policymakers are flying blind on labour market tightness, it raises the bar for the "Octaper". Dectaper?
I like this article by Stan Collender. In it, he argues that this "shutdown" is a much bigger deal than the smaller "shutdowns" that happened pre-1995.

Although I welcome people who disagree with me, please be civil.
Please note that my spam comment filter appears to dislike long "anonymous" posts.
Note: if you want to post comments from Apple devices (iPhone, iPad), you apparently need to turn off "prevent cross-site tracking" in Safari privacy settings. (The reason presumably is that another URL handles comments, and so the user session needs to be preserved when redirected to that site. I don't like this, but this is not enough to make me switch my hosting service.)
