Presidentcy Trump’s candidate to lead the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) suggests that the agency should hire to issue monthly job reports and claim that data that the agency uses to calculate all is reliable.

EJ Antoni, whom Trump nominated for BLS on Monday, said the agency should “suspend the monthly job reports, but still publish more precise, less timely, quarterly data”.

” The candidate told Fox Business.

Trump nominated Antoni, the chief economist at the far right Heritage Foundation Think Tank to lead BLS after the President of the President of the Fedal France fence of the former presidency.

The report not only showed a lean employment growth in the past month, but also strong downward revolutions in the employment reports from May and June. On the Internet, the report showed that the United States has added around 100,000 jobs in the past three months – hardly a thunder of what economists consider to increase unemployment.

Trump dismissed Mantarfer on the same day and accused her and the agency to manipulate jobs so that the Republicans look bad and democratic mismanagement hides the economy.

The president has not submitted any evidence of supporting his climate, and BLS veterans of both parties said that manipulating boundary data for political purposes is almost impossible, based on the agency.

However, his campaign at BLS could throw a shadow about the agency of the influencing reports on employment and inflation – especially if he makes significant changes to the frequency or compilation of these reports.

Economists in the entire ideological spectrum have accused Antoni of being made misleading and imprisoned mussels About the economy to support Trump’s politics and criticize Democrats.

“EJ Antoni’s comment on work statistics has quite annoying,” Alan Cole, senior economist in conservative taxation. Wrote on the social platform X. “I don’t think it is close to the skills or knowledge of EG Keith Hall or William Beach, both excellent Republican appointments, the latter of Trump primarily appointed.
