President Trump believes that the Biden appointee, who is responsible for the job reports, Erika McEntarfer, “rigged” them to make Republicans, including him, look bad. He fired her. There are obviously moles in the BLS and have been for some time. She needed to go.
“In my opinion,” Trump wrote, “today’s Jobs Numbers were RIGGED in order to make the Republicans, and ME, look bad — Just like when they had three great days around the 2024 Presidential Election, and then, those numbers were “taken away” on November 15, 2024, right after the Election, when the Jobs Numbers were massively revised DOWNWARD, making a correction of over 818,000 Jobs — A TOTAL SCAM. Jerome “Too Late” Powell is no better! But, the good news is, our Country is doing GREAT!”
Time will tell. The numbers have been off by a lot for a while. If nothing else, McEntarfer botched previous reports.
In 2024, the BLS announced that there were actually 818,000 fewer jobs added to the economy during the 12 months ending in March than what it initially reported, marking the largest downward revision of its kind since 2009. It was McEntarfer’s responsibility.
In other words, job growth was about 28% less than what was initially reported.
She wasn’t doing a good job, and was confirmed by the Uniparty in an 86-8 vote. Yet, Trump can’t get most of his nominees through.
The appointee is a Democrat Partisan.
NEW: FEC records show “biased” Erika L.

The administration is firing government workers and deporting foreigners so this isn’t necessarily a surprise if accurate.
What’s missed in the jobs report is that the jobs lost are foreign-born and government workers, while native-born workers continue to make exceptional gains & real wage growth under Trump. pic.twitter.com/qNvWXTj82W

It’s a federal offense to falsely manipulate government data. Let’s put this smirking fool in prison where she belongs.
I have to write it, just take one look at her, that is a leftist. In an atmosphere in which tax cuts are underway, massive investment is heading into the USA, tariffs are encouraging US job creation, inflation is down, energy costs are dropping, regulations are being decreased, job creation does not drop. The so called deep state will rig… Read more »
She should have to spend a few months in prison. Her lies affect the economy, can push a business to fire people or close their doors, can make an investor not invest in a US company, etc… Her lies have affected tens of thousands of people She must spend a few months in prison at minimum. She is lucky it… Read more »
Her job has been to collect data and accurately report on the U.S. jobs numbers. She’s been miserable at it, with virtually all her mistakes, favoring Dems. If just about anyone tasked with providing vital, critical information had been as wrong as Erika, they’d have been fired. Good riddance.
