BLS chief fired by Trump over jobs report comments publicly for first time – The Hill

BLS chief fired by Trump over jobs report comments publicly for first time

by Sarah Fortinsky – 09/16/25 7:45 PM ET

The former Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) commissioner, Erika McEntarfer, on Tuesday made her first public remarks since she was fired by President Trump last month following a poor jobs report and substantial revisions to earlier data.

Speaking at the Levy Economics Institute at Bard College, her alma mater, McEntarfer recounted her experience learning she had been fired and warned of the potential economic consequences of her firing, according to multiple news reports.

“August 1 was like any other first Friday of the month when the job numbers come out, and my quiet and usually obscure little corner [of] the government goes about its business of telling political leaders what these data tell us about the state of the economy,” she said during her lecture, according to the reports.

“Except, by the end of that day, I had been very publicly fired by the president of the United States and was on my way to becoming a household name. It was quite a day, to say the least,” she continued.

McEntarfer said she first learned she had been fired when she was contacted by a reporter asking for comment on Trump’s social media post calling for her firing.

“To be honest, I didn’t actually believe I had been fired,” McEntarfer said. She then checked her inbox and saw a message 20 minutes earlier from the White House informing her that she was “terminated effective immediately.”

When Trump fired McEntarfer, he accused her of falsifying jobs numbers to disadvantage him politically. Economists across the political spectrum have said that sort of falsification would be impossible, noting revisions to job numbers are routine and reflect delayed reporting from employers.

“I can vouch for the accuracy and independence of the work of the agency up until the moment I was fired,” McEntarfer, a Biden appointee, said on Tuesday.

#BureauofLaborStatistics revised nonfarm #payrolls downward by 911,000 jobs from March 2024-March 2025 in largest revision since records began in 2002. Revision suggests average monthly job growth was 76,000 lower than initially reported indicating a weaker #labor market than previously thought. WH criticized #BLS for its data collection methods called for new leadership to restore trust in BLS, while #economists say the revision could prompt the #FederalReserve to consider #interestrate cuts.

The Advocate
"E.J. Antoni, Donald Trump’s nominee to run the Bureau of Labor Statistics, has a history of posting homophobic and misogynist comments on social media, and he has embraced right-wing conspiracy theories.

"Antoni is Trump’s choice to replace BLS Commissioner Erika McEntarfer, a Biden appointee whom Trump fired August 1 after a weak jobs report came out. The president claimed the numbers had been “manipulated” but offered no evidence of this.

"Antoni is an economist with the far-right Heritage Foundation, the think tank that created Project 2025, essentially a blueprint for Trump’s second term. The administration has implemented many of Project 2025’s recommendations, such as downsizing the federal government."

Tracking Trump: – The Washington Post

Tracking Trump: D.C. mayor’s National Guard order; a judge rules against Trump’s L.A. deployment; Trump attacks Chicago; and more

The 7 follows President Donald Trump’s second term, Today at 5:32 p.m. EDT

1

D.C. mayor orders indefinite cooperation with federal law enforcement.

• Today: Washington Mayor Muriel E. Bowser issued an executive order requiring local police coordination with federal law-enforcement officials. There is no expiration date.
• Context: President Donald Trump’s deployment of the National Guard to D.C. has a 30-day limit, but he has indicated he will seek to extend the deployment.

2

A judge ruled that Trump’s L.A. troop deployment was illegal.

• The latest: District Judge Charles R. Breyer ruled that Trump’s deployment of National Guard troops to Los Angeles this summer violated a law banning them from engaging in domestic law enforcement activities.

• Why: Breyer wrote that federal officials “knew that they were ordering troops to execute domestic law beyond their usual authority.”

3

Trump amped up anti-Chicago rhetoric.

• What he said: “Chicago is the worst and most dangerous city in the World, by far,” Trump wrote in a social media post. “I will solve the crime problem fast, just like I did in DC.”

• Why it matters: After he sent troops to D.C., Trump said Chicago would see a National Guard deployment “probably next.”

4

Trump’s nominee to lead BLS discussed gender IQ with interns.

• New: While at the Heritage Foundation last year, E.J. Antoni told interns about a controversial IQ theory that says there are more women of “average” intelligence than men.

• Context: Trump nominated Antoni to lead the Bureau of Labor Statistics after firing its previous head for releasing a negative jobs report.

5

Trump announced the Space Command HQ will move from Colorado to Alabama.

• What to know: Space Command, which oversees space military operations, has been in Colorado Springs since 2019, but will now move to Huntsville, Alabama.

Background: Trump reestablished the Space Command in 2019. An initial plan to move it from its interim HQ in Colorado to Alabama was scrapped by President Joe Biden in 2023.

Trump Gets Rid of Those Pesky Statistics
Numbers were simply not patriotic enough.
For decades, he's been at war with numbers. Some have capitulated more swiftly than others. And now, Trump has fired head of the #BureauOfLaborStatistics (#BLS). Once these disloyal statisticians are out of the way, the data will finally start to cooperate. The only possible reason the economy could be doing anything other than booming is Biden–legacy manipulation.
