President Trump announced the upcoming appointment of a new Bureau of Labor Statistics commissioner following the dismissal of Erika McEntarfer, citing lack of confidence in her reported jobs data. National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett stated Trump 'wants his own people' at the bureau, amidst pressures from a weaker-than-expected jobs report. Critics, including former officials, have challenged Trump's claims of rigged statistics, arguing that such rhetoric damages the credibility of the Bureau.
