The Trump administration is considering appointing a senior critic to head the Bureau of Labor Statistics, potentially signaling for reforms.
BlockBeats News, August 11th. According to The Wall Street Journal, E.J. Antoni, Chief Economist of the conservative think tank Traditional Foundation, has emerged as a leading candidate for the head of the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). According to a senior government official, the Trump administration is interviewing candidates for the BLS director position, including at least one long-time critic of the agency. Earlier this month, following a weak jobs report, Trump removed the BLS director from office, and officials are currently considering potential replacements.
E.J. Antoni, who is undergoing interviews, has been a vocal critic of the BLS's employment data collection methods as Chief Economist of the Traditional Foundation. A White House spokesperson stated, "President Trump has selected the most talented individuals to lead the federal government and will announce the new BLS director appointee after a decision is made." The report noted that the White House's consideration of appointing prominent critics signals Trump's plans for a significant overhaul of the agency. (FXStreet)
