💨 Abstract
Erika McEntarfer, the nonpartisan head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), was dismissed by President Donald Trump after the release of a disappointing jobs report. McEntarfer, confirmed in 2024 with bipartisan support, had an extensive background in economics and was known for her impartiality. Former colleagues and advocates have criticized the firing, calling it baseless and harmful to the bureau's independence.
