President Donald Trump said Friday that he has fired the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, just hours after new employment numbers produced by the agency showed major downward revisions from previous months.
Trump announced on social media that he will replace Erika McEntarfer, who has been the commissioner of the BLS since 2024. He said in the message posted to Truth Social that the firing is effective immediately.
