Donald Trump has fired the Commissioner of Labor Statistics.
In a Truth Social posting, Trump noted that “they made a major mistake, 258,000 jobs down, in the two previous months.” In the first half of the year there were similar things that happened, all to the downside.
He added: “Important figures like these must be fair and accurate. They can’t have been manipulated for a political purpose.”
I just learned that Dr. Erika MacEntarfer is the Commissioner of Labor Statistics and was appointed by Biden. She fabricated the “Jobs Numbers”, before the Election, to boost Kamala’s chances of winning. The Bureau of Labor Statistics is the same one that exaggerated the Jobs Growth by 818,000 in March 2024 and then by 112,000 right before the Presidential Election in 2024. These were Records – No one could be so wrong? We need accurate job numbers. I have instructed my Team to immediately fire this Biden political appointee. She will be replaced by someone more qualified and competent. Numbers like these must be accurate and fair, they cannot be manipulated to suit political ends. McEntarfer stated that only 73,000 jobs were added. But, they made a mistake, resulting in a loss of 258,000 jobs, during the two previous months. In the beginning of the year there were similar events, all to the downside. The economy is booming under “TRUMP”, despite the Fed playing games. This time, they played with interest rates, which were lowered twice and significantly, just before the Presidential Election. I assume that this was done in order to get “Kamala,” elected. How did that turn out? Jerome “Too Late Powell” should be “put out to pasture” as well. Thank you for paying attention to this issue!
The BLS has shown major revisions to its jobs data over the past two months.
The U.S. Labor Market could be in trouble as President Donald Trump increases tariffs.
Bureau of Labor Statistics released Friday a report that showed job growth for June was 73,000, seasonally adjusted. This is above the total of 14,000 for June, but still below the Dow Jones estimate of 100,000. The June and May totals have been revised down sharply, by a combined amount of 258,000 from the previously announced levels.
