if you look at the bureau of labor statistics' numbers, this is the survey they used to calculate theloyment rate, there were 883,000 part-time jobs created and we lost 97,000 full-time jobs. i don't think there's any question that there was a huge impact, even the individual that ran the bureau of labor statistics for the obama administration from 2008 to 2012 said he'd never seen anything like it. he doesn't think there had ever been a six-month period where that many part-time jobs were created. >> the unions are furious at this because they're going to lose their highly subsidized cadillac health insurance. but employers are cutting back on hours worked. the united states used to have a 40-hour workweek. now it's gone down to a 30-hour workweek. and because of obama care, may go down to a 29 or 28-hour workweek. do you think that obama care is the cause? i'm assuming it is the cause, not everybody agrees with me. >> it absolutely is the cause. it sets a 30-hour limit. above 30 hours, you have to offer people health insurance. 30 hours and below, you don't. when you make something

friday the september jobs report will not be released because the bureau of labor statistics will be closed. >> as for what is still open and operating air traffic controllers passport and visa applications will also still be processed. >> social security and medicare payments unemployment benefits and food stamps will continue to go out. and your mail will still be delivered. embassies and consulates will remain open overseas and our military personnel will report to duty. >> and many are asking this morning who is to blame for all of this and why would either political party risk shutting down the government. >> trey gowdy went on the record insisting that the fight over the president's healthcare law is worth it. >> if you look at the history of shut downs lots of calls by democrat presidents and democrat congresses. for some reason the republicans are always to blame for the shut down. i have colleagues understand bly worried we are going to be blamed this time. my perspective is this how long is too long to fight for something that's really important. for 12 days in 1979 the gov

bureau of labor statistics announced to day the september jobs report which should have been releasedn't be out until next tuesday october 22nd because of the government shutdown. "the new york times" reports, the unemployment data are being watched especially closely now because the federal reserve said any decision on whether to ease back on stimulus efforts depends on continuing improvement in the labor market and without information from the labor department's bureau of labor statistics no one knows if that is happening. joining me now, "washington post's" ezra klein, msnbc analyst. ezra klein when you run by the numbers quickly, hard for you to land, the cost of shutdown, repeated shutdown, cost of brinksmanship is just astonishing. >> these are huge numbers. we should say this is impressionistic. people are taking their best guess. taking in the data. macro economic advisers number is the interesting one. there you are looking at spending we cut out in the last couple years. a very common thing to look at in addition to looking at, at, a certain policy and index. the thing none

that's not the bs website, it's bls, bureau of labor statistics. the website is currently not being updated due to the shutdown. they will not collect data, issue reports or respond to public inquiries and that includes dear old nonfarm payroll which means we probably won't have it in time for friday which means the private sector adp report which is out today which we'll look at around about 178,000 private jobs being created, that one will be the key jobs report of the week. >> every month it's the most important report ever. and we get all ramped up. thank you, steve. still ahead, the great justin bieber takes his dance moves to the great wall of china. we have the pictures. trust me, this one doesn't look between for the biebs. but first, michael jordan dishes on who he would like to play one-on-one. what are your dream matchups in sports in any era, two people? #way too early and we'll put the best answers -- i don't know. i got brady versus montana maybe. but we'll have to see about that. check on weather, too, when "way too early" comes righ

week about the potential jobs report and this morning, a new message posted to the bureau of labor statisticsebsite, "this website is not being updated due to the suspension of the federal shutdown period. bls will not collect data or respond to public inquiries." it t says updates to the site will start again when the federal government resumes operations. >>> as more americans are impacted by the shutdown public anger continues to grow and that means politicians in washington need to step up their efforts to blame the other side. in an op-ed for today's "wall street journal" republican house speaker john boehner accuses president obama of a "scorched earth policy of refusing to negotiate in a bipartisan way." that's not all the speaker has to say. cnn's brianna keilar is at the white house this morning to tell us more. good morning. >> reporter: good morning to you, carol. little snippet of the speaker's op- op-ed, he says washington democrats have slammed the door on reopening the government by refusing to engage in bipartisan talks and the stories across the country highlight the devastat

>> well, i checked with the bureau of labor statistics just this very day and they say that 88% of the jobs that have been created this year are part-time jobs. a large part of the reason for that number of part-time jobs, which is unprecedented in american history is because people are apprehensive about the impact of obama care on and the cost of obama care on full- time jobs. if they are part-time jobs, they don't qualify under obama care. now, i happen to support national medical service, the national medical care, but we have to do something about its effect on the job market because this is a disaster for the average american family. >> first of all the white house is coming back with a whole different set of statistics, saying that this is not correct. that obama care is causing the creation of part-time jobs. and maybe there's a fix that you'll have to work 40 hours a week to be eligible for the health insurance instead of 30 hours. but i have never seen the sort of subversion of the law that has passed both houses that have been signed by the president, approved by the supreme

weiner not need the number, a tp number is getting closer and closer to the bureau of labor statisticsr. here is the bad news for everyone hoping for a good number. for the last three months adp has been better or they posted a better number than the bureau of labor statistics and the numbers got closer and they were off by 4% and what are the implications? ted purdy we just talked about, ben bernanke saw this happening and alluded to it when a decision was made. it tapered off the board for the rest of the year. because 166,000 take a victory. connell: various odd job market softness. connell: washington imploding. ashley: before they sought this would be a partial shutdown. ben bernanke saw that. you look at these jobs, 17,000 service low-paying jobs, goods producing growing 19,000, financial mortgages, housing market, ben bernanke doesn't talk about it. we know housing probably is important as anything else. these are all these banks, mortgage lenders. dagen: business went of the refinancing activities in spring as the federal reserve started talking about that. charles: the only tw
