PNN – After the publication of the report of the weakening of the employment rate in this country in July compared to two months before, the US President fired the commissioner of the US Bureau of Labor Statistics!
According to the report of Pakistan News Network, quoted by Euronews, after the publication of the monthly report of the employment rate in July, which showed a decreasing trend compared to two months before, US President Donald Trump fired Erika McEntharfer, the commissioner of the country’s labor statistics office.
Last month’s report shows that the US economy added only 73,000 jobs to the labor market in July. According to this report, the jobs created in May and June are 258 thousand less than the previous estimate.
In a message on his social network known as “Truth Social”, Trump fired McInterfer, who was appointed by former US President Joe Biden, alleging manipulation of employment statistics for political reasons.
He wrote that “I ordered my team to fire this political appointee of Biden. He will be replaced by someone far more worthy and worthy.”
In another message, he added: In my opinion, today’s employment statistics have been manipulated with the aim of destroying the Republicans and myself.
While Trump has not provided any evidence for this claim, the charge of manipulating labor statistics is considered by many to be a sensational act that questions and threatens the political legitimacy of American economic data.
After Trump’s initial message, US Secretary of Labor Lori Chavez-De Reimer announced in a message on the “X” social network that McInterfer no longer has a position in the mentioned office and his deputy, William Wiatrowski, will temporarily head the agency.
