Fed's Jefferson: Will be enough data to be well-informed at October policy meeting

PHILADELPHIA, Oct 3 (Reuters) - U.S. Federal Reserve Vice Chair Philip Jefferson said on Friday that central bankers will have adequate information for their October 28-29 meeting even if jobs and other federal government reports remain delayed by the ongoing shutdown.

Along with government reports the Fed has "private sector sources, business surveys, household surveys, and it is really the whole constellation of data that impacts my thinking," Jefferson said. "We have enough information to do our job ... My expectation is that I'll be well informed before I go into the October meeting."
