Firing the Commissioner of Labor Statistics when the BLS revises jobs numbers down (as it routinely does) threatens to destroy trust in core American institutions, and all government statistics.
I can't stress how damaging this is.

Firing the BLS commissioner because you don't like this month's numbers is like firing the editor of the sports section because they report when your team starts losing...
Rumor has it that Trump will appoint Ghislaine Maxwell to be the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
She promised to give him any statistics he wants in return for a pardon.
I cannot believe this has to be stated. If they always revise their numbers, then they can't be trusted.
Dude they chopped an entire zero off the last two months estimates.
That's failure. You get fired for this in private employment.

maybe "routinely revisiting the numbers down" is what she was fired for ? any private company would get rid of such an incompetent manager long time ago
If they routinely do it, then they are fucking useless... Get the numbers right. 818k is a huge miss and should of gotten fired then.
Why do they routinely revise their numbers down? Why is CPI and Unemployment so inaccurate?
Trust restoration begins by firing incompetent DEI hires, like McEntarfer, and it is a great start. Look at all of the errors she's allowed to happen.
The drastic revisions to these numbers should give you some indication how reliable they are.
If you think this is bad, wait until the next unfavorable inflation numbers are released.
Was the only way Trump was ever going to respond to bad jobs numbers, inevitable the moment he was elected.
“As it routinely does”
Is kind of the giveaway here
If you a keep missing the target in the same direction doesn’t that say something?
Damaging for whom? You? It's much more damaging when statistics are always one-sided. That should not happen, you know, statistically speaking.
He cares not. Integrity to him is whatever tale or numbers, etc., that glorify his very being.

The totally groundless firing of Dr. Erika McEntarfer, my successor as Commissioner of Labor Statistics at BLS, sets a dangerous precedent and undermines the statistical mission of the Bureau. For a full statement opposing this move, read: friendsofbls.org/updates/2025/8
If you run a company and your data person constantly hands you wrong data, what do you do? The BLS data prior to the election wasnt even in the ballpark of the actual jobs data
How about we expect the BLS to report accurate numbers in a timely fashion.
I hope you arent just figuring this out when he's atleast 100 different tariff policies deep. Laws are for trump to invoke to use as his personal cudgel and shield.
And his quest is exactly that: to destroy trust in core American institutions. He's been on that donkey for many years.
His cult members will agree.
Even as recession will hit they'll just say "it's Biden's fault!"
You, the American consumer, will pay the 15-50% tariffs if you can afford it without a job.
Depression like it's 1929. It will be so horrible you can't even imagine now.
When the stats are adjusted downward every single reporting period for decades, the people responsible for the original (faulty) stats need to go. All of them.
Markets react to these inflated stats, and it's all a lie.
This is what trump has done to MAGAts. He's made them believe anyone on the left is crooked & out to get him. Actually, he's crooked & deflecting it to Dems, like a child,with a cookie in their mouth who points at another kid when asked who took the cookie.
Destroy trust in core institutions? Did I miss where you have posted about the weaponization of intelligence agencies and the FBI and Dept. Of Justice? Go fuck yourself
Firing the BLS commissioner is what it is: imposing logical consequences on fraudulent, deep state DC swamp monster democrat bureaucrats
I got I guess you got your talking points like everybody else. She got fired because she’s a liar just like your party.
This shouldn’t surprise anyone. Commander in Cheat is just doing what he does.
Can your students revise their answers? No. Then why BLS changers the numbers and timing of it. Another dem swamp comment:
Dumbass
During the Biden presidency (2021-2025), the BLS revised jobs numbers in every monthly report totaling 48 reports with revisions. Downward adjustments occurred in the majority, including 11 consecutive months in 2023-2024 and a major benchmark revision of 818,000 fewer
And she wouldn't have prepared the report - would have been done by a staffer. He is a disaster for America.
Ah, she was off by 800,000 jobs in March of 2024. How bad does someone have to be to get fired?
When someone is lousy at their job, outside of education, they typically get fired.
The Commissioner of Labor Statistics was fired because she sucked at her job and ALL of her work was faulty and unreliable.
I can't stress how retarded you are.
I can't stress how damaging being off by 800,000 jobs is. BLS needs independence from political interference, not from accountability for incompetence.
The trust was destroyed during the Biden 4 years when he cooked the books every month to make the jobs reports look good.
That’s the point. Republican voters stopped believing in the liberal establishment of academia,media, and government. So they elected a guy to burn it all down.
It’s up to you people to regain the voters’ trust. They don’t work for you.
Ha! Only professors/ PHD's with no real world experience trust the cesspool known as Wash DC. The trust has already been destroyed my friend. Go out in the real world for a few days. Everything out of BLS is straight out BS. The CPI is a tragic joke. The unemployment # is a lie
