President Donald Trump has dismissed Dr. Erika McEntarfer, the Commissioner of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, following a disappointing July 2025 jobs report. The report indicated only 73,000 jobs were added, falling significantly below expectations, with revisions showing a decrease in job growth for May and June as well. Trump accused McEntarfer of manipulating data for political gain, a claim that has stirred controversy over the integrity of economic statistics and raised concerns about political interference in statistical agencies.

No doubt this qualifies as a leftist publication but FWIW.... https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2025/08/01/trump-fires- labor-head-weak-july-jobs-report/85479354007/ I will say that anyone that knows the numbers before they are released have (FACT) the opportunity to make a killing in the finance markets the first Friday of each month.
Yeah, I felt that too. I felt it a LOT more back in Feb/March when Trump was promoting big, beautiful tariffs the likes of which we've never seen before.
I don't think I did too bad yesterday. They're claiming the market lost over a trillion yesterday, but the Dow was only down 500 points. I'm up $70k from before the April "crash." I saw BTC was down over $3k yesterday. I can't tell when the MSM is just pulling shit out of their ass or not anymore.

Top • Page Up • Full Thread • Page Down • Bottom/Latest Former Bureau of Labor Statistics officials ‒ including prior commissioners of the agency ‒ said manipulating the jobs data would be virtually impossible.
"The Commissioner does not determine what the numbers are but simply reports on what the data show" a coalition of BLS advocates said in a statement that was co-signed by William Beach, commissioner of Labor Statistics during Trump's first term, "The process of obtaining the numbers is decentralized by design to avoid opportunities for prying."
Beach's group said Trump's "baseless, damaging claim undermines the valuable work and dedication of BLS staff who produce the reports each month."
Heidi Shierholz, the Labor Department’s chief economist from 2014 to early 2017 during President Barack Obama’s administration, said the charge from Trump “is outrageous and shows a total misunderstanding of how government statistical agencies work” to compile data, she said.
Hundreds of employees, she said, work on the jobs report and a “huge number” see the final number before it’s published.
