BlockBeats previously reported that on August 2nd, U.S. President Trump tweeted directly accusing, "This is a scam against him": "In my opinion, today's job data is manipulated to embarrass Republicans and me—just as before and after the 2024 presidential election, they first presented three days of beautiful data, and then on November 15, 2024, shortly after the election, these data were significantly revised downward—this is entirely a scam." Trump then ordered the dismissal of Bureau of Labor Statistics Commissioner Erika McEntarfer, and her deputy William Wiatrowski will serve as acting commissioner.
