    When you don't like the answer, fire the person who gave them to you..................what a brilliant tactic :rolleyes: So they will put someone in who will lie for the wanna be king or will he fire the next one to claiming some other BS reason......................or better yet, just shut it down so we have no numbers to go by.

    If the jobs report was politically motivated, why didn't they just report lower numbers back in May and June, why go through the effort just to revise down the numbers lower?

    Democrats just don't get the benefit of the doubt anymore. Look at all of the institutions that they politicized. Look at this 9 year history of lying and manufacturing intel to "get Trump". Who in their right minds believes them anymore? I sure don't. Their "resistance" knows no boundaries, and if you look at the woman leading the BLS, a radical Biden appointee, it's easy to see what's happening here. Trump 45 would have tried to work around these people. Trump 47 is stronger and more experienced with the swamp. This is just another opportunity to eliminate a partisan actor from government, after she revealed herself with today's manufactured numbers.

    Democrats did this to themselves with their 9 years of lying. They can hide behind institutions (and tarnish them) no longer.

    Powell is the only person keeping a lid on super growth and super prosperity for all by stubbornly maintaining high interest rates. Remember he cut rates before the election to help Kamala. Oops. Again, he's another one that no longer gets the benefit of the doubt. No one to blame but himself.


    GOOD DAY

    the confusions emanating from his ever-change TACO stance. the whipsaw actions have planted uncertainty in the US economy, leading to many co laying off employees, like Microsoft, Amazon, Google, etc.

    these retro adjustments mirror the current trend in publiv hiring, as well as DOGE cuts

    Strong jobs and real wage growth for non-government US citizens. Sorry DOGE cuts and illegals!

    I'm shedding no tears for an economic depression in Washington DC. The swamp dug their own grave with their dishonesty.

    I guess we are going to have a million people hired next month. Wonder how many people didn't have to read 1984.

    William Beach, nominated and approved for the same position during Trump's first term, has a message.

    Statement on Commissioner McEntarfer’s Removal — The Friends of the Bureau of Labor Statistics

    Today, President Trump called into question the integrity of the Employment Situation report that the BLS released this morning. He accused BLS Commissioner Erika McEntarfer of deliberately reporting false numbers to reflect poorly on this administration. This baseless, damaging claim undermines the valuable work and dedication of BLS staff who produce the reports each month. This escalates the President’s unprecedented attacks on the independence and integrity of the federal statistical system.

    The President seeks to blame someone for unwelcome economic news. The Commissioner does not determine what the numbers are but simply reports on what the data show. The process of obtaining the numbers is decentralized by design to avoid opportunities for interference. The BLS uses the same proven, transparent, reliable process to produce estimates every month. Every month, BLS revises the prior two months’ employment estimates to reflect slower-arriving, more-accurate information.

    This rationale for firing Dr. McEntarfer is without merit and undermines the credibility of federal economic statistics that are a cornerstone of intelligent economic decision-making by businesses, families, and policymakers. U.S. official statistics are the gold standard globally. When leaders of other nations have politicized economic data, it has destroyed public trust in all official statistics and in government science.

    BLS operates as a federal statistical agency and is afforded autonomy to ensure the data it releases are as accurate as possible. To politicize the work of the agency and its workers does a great disservice not only to BLS but to the entire federal statistical system which this country has relied on for almost 150 years. We stand firmly behind the BLS, Commissioner McEntarfer, and the data they work hard to produce. Commissioner McEntarfer is a widely-respected economist who has devoted her career to public service. She has an impeccable record. Over ninety percent of U.S. Senators supported her confirmation.

    We call on Congress to respond immediately, to investigate the factors that led to Commissioner McEntarfer’s removal, to strongly urge the Commissioner’s continued service, and ensure that the nonpartisan integrity of the position is retained. The statement from the President undermines these tenets and politicizes data which cannot and should not be used for political points.

    The Friends of BLS Co-Chairs: William Beach, Erica L. Groshen and Paul Schroeder

    The Friends of BLS Steering Committee Members: Tom Beers, Demetra Nightingale, Mary Jo Mitchell, Steve Pierson, Ken Poole, Aaron Sojourner

    Many wondered in the Ukraine thread @Nook how Putin was so oblivious to the challenges of invading Ukraine and you see it in front of your eyes. Authoritarian leaders surround themselves with nothing but yes men who will tell them only what they want to hear. You see the prime example of Trump firing the bls director simply cuz he got a bad report.

    Theres no coming back
