💨 Abstract

The article details Donald Trump's unwarranted accusations of data manipulation by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) following revision of employment figures. He sacked BLS Commissioner Dr. Erika McEntarfer and wrongly blamed her for inaccurate calculations. The BLS is an independent agency that collects and reports on key economic data, including employment figures. The BLS gathers data through two main surveys: one interviewing households and another surveying businesses.
