If the Federal Government shuts down on October 1 some BLS employees will report to the office to provide for an orderly shutdown. No new work will occur, but computers will be shutdown to prevent problems. Those workers that worked from home or in the field will be forced to turn in laptops, and BLS provided cell phones.

Sounds peachy to me.

It's a casino with employment "data". It's a casino without. Why would I care?

Invest in real businesses, over time, slowly and carefully.

Look, it’s right there in Article 1, section 8: The government shall provide falsified employment data on a weekly basis to help keep a Fed-primed stock market going up.
