E.J. Antoni, President Donald Trump’s pick to lead the Bureau of Labor Statistics, is no longer considering suspending the monthly jobs report — one of the most crucial and historic measurements of US economic activity — after proposing the unprecedented action during an interview that published Tuesday.

When asked if the BLS will still publish the monthly jobs report, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said, “I believe that is the plan, and that’s the hope, and that these monthly reports will be data that the American people can trust.

E.J. Antoni said the Bureau of Labor Statistics should suspend a monthly estimate that recently upset President Donald Trump.
