Trump's pick to lead economic data agency floats ending monthly jobs report
"President Donald Trump's nominee to lead the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) has proposed ending releasing the agency's closely watched jobs report each month.
Conservative economist EJ Antoni, a longtime critic of the bureau, floated the idea in an interview with Fox News published online on Tuesday.
The idea raised new alarm over the agency's future and the reliability of its statistics, which are used by political leaders, investors and everyday Americans to get a sense of how the world's richest country is faring.
Trump fired its former leader this month after the agency reported a sharp slowdown in jobs growth.
Trump accused the commissioner, Erika McEntarfer, of having "rigged" the numbers - a claim that was widely rejected by economists.
They likewise panned his pick of Antoni, saying his economic commentary was rife with basic mistakes.
After the interview was published, an economist who has advised Republicans in the past posted: "Senators who vote to confirm Antoni are voting to essentially eviscerate the BLS and its jobs data.""
