Who gets to see the employment report before everybody else?

The question periodically comes up in the context of wacko conspiracy theories, but it's actually a very short list: The president, of course, the Treasury Secretary, the chairman of the Federal Reserve, the Secretary of Labor, and maybe a few others. The honchos get the report in the late afternoon or early evening on the day before it officially gets released (5:30 a.m. L.A. time). Business Insider asked for Treasury official Tony Fratto about the list:

"During my time at Treasury and the White House, the information was VERY closely guarded -- the President would get briefed, and maybe the Chief of Staff (at White House and Treasury) or might be told the #s or might be in the room when the President got briefed, but it wasn't disseminated beyond that very small group.Also, because there's a 1-hour moratorium on Administration officials commenting on the data, that's way more than enough time to prepare."
