💨 Abstract
President Trump nominated E.J. Antoni, a Heritage Foundation economist, to head the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), sparking criticism due to Antoni's controversial and politicized views on economic data. Antoni has criticized the accuracy of BLS reports, suggesting changes that could alter public perception of economic health. While former officials doubt Antoni can immediately distort data, they worry about potential changes in how data is presented.
