07:55 AM EDT, 08/22/2024 (MT Newswires) -- (Update with BNP Paribas' response to a request for comment.)

Nomura (NMR), Mizuho Financial ( MFG ) and BNP Paribas all reached out directly to the Bureau of Labor Statistics after the department failed to post its revisions to the monthly payroll figures Wednesday morning, Bloomberg reported, citing a person familiar with the mater.

The data was eventually released shortly after 10:30 a.m. ET, a half hour after the scheduled time, and it showed that payrolls were expected to be revised down by 818,000 for the 12 months since March, the steepest downward revision since 2009, according to the news outlet.

BNP declined to comment when reached by MT Newswires. Nomura and Mizuho did not immediately respond to requests for comment from MT Newswires.
