E.J. Antoni's nomination to lead the Bureau of Labor Statistics was recently withdrawn by the White House, with plans to announce a new nominee soon. His nomination faced criticism for being too partisan and potentially undermining the credibility of the agency. Axios NBC News

The acting head is a long-time professional economist who has been acting head before under different presidents.

You have nothing and you have shit on the professional economists at the BLS. All the data is public, all the calculation procedures are public and everything is reviewed by commercial and academic economists outside the BLS. Your title is flat wrong.

Well, here's a former head of the BLS indicating Trump could impact upcoming reports, regardless of who's commissioner: SunSeeker Oct 2025 #13

Nice try. But you failed big time. You'll find that I've never typed a single word in any post here Wiz Imp Oct 2025 #15

I did not "fail big time." I did not "fail" at all. You admitted my point. SunSeeker Oct 2025 #17

"Ridiculous" is thinking we still live in a world where we don't have Trump slandering BLS staffers. SunSeeker Oct 2025 #29

maga might easily ignore numbers, but corporations will not, and maga will notice layoffs around them Bernardo de La Paz Oct 2025 #33

You failed at your implication of tRump interference. "unless" is a hypothetical, a possibility, nowhere near a fact.nt Bernardo de La Paz Oct 2025 #22

Trump has interfered by slandering BLS statisticians. That is why Groshen is worried (her words). SunSeeker Oct 2025 #28

We are all worried, but it is important to not cynically assume facts not in evidence. . . . nt Bernardo de La Paz Oct 2025 #31

There's plenty of evidence of Trump defaming BLS staff and BLS survey responses dropping off. SunSeeker Oct 2025 #36

Declines in survey responses have been happening slowly without tRump. There is no evidence he has accelerated it. Bernardo de La Paz Oct 2025 #38

Groshen is not insulting BLS, nor am I. We are pointing out how Trump is harming BLS. SunSeeker Oct 2025 #39

It's about time you stated that. . . . nt Bernardo de La Paz Oct 2025 #40

It's about time you stopped insulting me....nt SunSeeker Oct 2025 #42

Your excerpt indicates NO problem from political influence and MAYBE survey lack of response maybe in the FUTURE. . . nt Bernardo de La Paz Oct 2025 #20

Groshen is worried for a reason. I think she knows what she is talking about. SunSeeker Oct 2025 #30

Exactly as I stated. She is worried about survey participation, NOT about fudging data or calculations. Bernardo de La Paz Oct 2025 #32

You fail to understand Groshen's (and my) point. Participation drops hurt data accuracy. SunSeeker Oct 2025 #35

Data inaccuracy due to survey response rates is NOT corruption, NOR is it interference, NOR is it the fault of BLS. Bernardo de La Paz Oct 2025 #37

Trump causing response rates to fall is interference. SunSeeker Oct 2025 #41
