President Trump on Friday accused the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) Erika McEntarfer of faking jobs numbers, directing his team to fire the former President Biden appointee. Trump blamed McEntarfer for the bad Friday jobs report,

Lori Chavez-DeRemer, who as Labor Secretary oversees the BLS, wrote on social media that she supports Trump’s decision to fire McEntarfer. “A recent string of major revisions have come to light and raised concerns about decisions being made by the Biden-appointed Labor Commissioner,” Chavez-DeRemer wrote.
