President Donald Trump ordered the firing of Erica Groshen, Commissioner of the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), after the BLS reported that the U.S. economy added only 73,000 jobs in July, well below estimates, and revised May and June job numbers downward by over 200,000. Trump accused Groshen of producing biased reports and claimed the numbers were rigged. Matt Gagnon criticized Trump’s actions, arguing that the BLS’s job reports are not partisan and are based on a rigorous, transparent system. Gagnon emphasized that the revisions are often more accurate and that Trump’s actions undermine the integrity of government data.
