Trump ordering removal of BLS commissioner because of weak jobs report. 1/ She was a senior Census Dept economist during Trump's first term. 2/ This sets a very dangerous precedent, since it basically gives marching orders to future BLS commissioners. No one should want this.

If we want to have a conversation about the data collection methods ... well, economists have been having those for quite some time. Under multiple admins. But that's not what Trump is calling for here.
She was incompetent all through Biden's term. Biden shoukd have canned her.
Honestly this is low on the list of crappy things they’re doing. 2026 election can’t come soon enough.
I agree entirely. It’s a characteristically terrible personnel move for Trump. He demands lackeys who will only do what he tells them to do…even if a job only involves collecting, compiling, and publishing data. He’s nothing if not reckless.
with all due respect. The revisions were extremely dangerous and so many decisions are based on them. who should be accountable?
Coward and fake Jake Tapper reposts trash like this but refuses to cover real news.

Cincinnati officials are now placing the blame on hate crime victim Holly—falsely calling her a “Russian asset” to distract from the brutal mob attack she suffered. Holly was born and raised in Ohio. She’s never even been to Russia. Sen. Bernie Moreno says enough is

Do you have no standards on accuracy and think BLS should never be held accountable at all because of credentials even if every metric they put out is incorrect? CPI,Unemployment and jobs have been garbage for years.
If you are capable, qualified, and competent at what you do, Trump will fire you.,
You are making a statement of fact based on your assumption. Trumps statement focused much more on innaccuracies and revisions. These numbers have great influence on the economy and stock market. I see no issue with holding people accountable.
You have a Fascist egomaniac in the Oval office. Put the brakes on this trump madman and his band of yesmen and yeswomen.
He’s the one who messed it up not her It’s not Biden pp it Trump Republicans and administration know better they will see Trump World view is nothing trying to dominate worlds leaders they re laughing at him This clown 🤡 is falling fast
When data becomes political we all lose trust in the numbers is foundational
Because she put out the wrong job numbers in May and June, you mean? She was fired because her mistake provides fodder for this kind of TDS post.
You don’t think he fired her for being off so much that she had to make huge adjustments downward— and waited until after Jerome Powell decided not to cut rates to do it?
Not because of a weak jobs report. Because she was incredibly wrong over multiple months. And … she serves at the pleasure of the president.
where did he get? The number is a little bit closer in the first place 70% revisions it happened under Biden too. This woman is terrible at her job.
Interest rates were not cut due to her incompetence. Hundreds of billion dollars at stake. This has been going on far too long. Every month for years the numbers are adjusted downwards.
lets post the whole truth - posted job numbers way up before the election .. then 'corrected' the numbers after the election - way down..
it matters little considering it's always been pretty politicized, and that's before the partisan press boys got ahold of it
Erickson is in a very dark place. Between all the stuff that’s been hidden coming out, losing major advertiser, potentially being sued by victims of said advertiser, SEB2023-025 popping back up, Kemp candidates getting shit…Erickson is lashing out and nothing can help him.
