💨 Abstract

President Donald Trump recently fired the head of the agency that produces monthly jobs figures, accusing her of manipulating data. Trump often questions jobs reports, accepting positive figures as legitimate while dismissing negative ones as fraudulent, particularly when they seem to benefit his political opponents. For instance, he praised the strong job numbers in March 2025 but criticized the poorer economic data from 2024, attributing it to mismanagement by the Biden administration.
