Kerry Eleveld has an article up with anonymous Congressional sources blaming the Senate for ENDA falling behind. The DADT deal has to pass the Senate before ENDA can be considered in the House (it's in the Constitution, somewhere in one of the boring parts), and they couldn't have been working on ENDA earlier  this  year  like they said they would because the Congressional session just started three weeks ago.

Plus ENDA needs the approval of Republicans to pass, even though the DADT deal was just attached to the National Defense Authorization Act without 60 votes, but it's different for ENDA since no one in the Senate has had the time to think of how to pass ENDA in the last year and a half. It's not like the Senate is working on any bills related to jobs or employment this year, so they can't just attach it to something else.
