In a recent interview with CNBC's Squawk Box, US President Trump stated that American labor statistics are highly politicized.
On August 2nd, President Trump directly accused this as a scam against him: 'In my opinion, today's employment data is manipulated, with the purpose of embarrassing Republicans and myself - just like before and after the 2024 presidential election, they first present three days of beautiful data, then on November 15, 2024, right after the election, these data are significantly revised - this is completely a scam.' Trump then ordered the dismissal of Bureau of Labor Statistics Commissioner Erika McEntarfer, with Deputy Commissioner William Wiatrowski serving as acting commissioner.
