Erika McEntarfer, the commissioner of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, has been fired after releasing a jobs report that angered President Donald Trump. Trump announced her dismissal on his Truth Social platform, accusing her of manipulating numbers without providing evidence. McEntarfer, appointed by President Joe Biden, had served as BLS head for a year and a half. Her firing has been criticized by former colleagues and associates, who describe her as nonpolitical and respected. They warn that the decision undermines the Bureau’s mission. McEntarfer has not commented on her dismissal.
