Trump claimed that McEntarfer inflated job growth figures during the previous administration to benefit Vice President Kamala Harris\u2019s campaign, while unfairly revising downward employment numbers from his own presidency.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was just informed that our Country\u2019s \u2018Jobs Numbers\u2019 are being produced by a Biden Appointee, Dr. Erika McEntarfer, the Commissioner of Labor Statistics, who faked the Jobs Numbers before the Election to try and boost Kamala\u2019s chances of Victory,\u201d Trump posted on Truth Social.<\/p>\n<p>He pointed out that the Bureau of Labor Statistics allegedly overstated job growth in March 2024 by about 818,000 and again in August and September by 112,000 jobs, numbers he called record-breaking and suspiciously inaccurate. Trump emphasized the need for fair and accurate job data, free from political manipulation.<\/p>\n<p>Trump further criticized McEntarfer for reporting only 73,000 jobs added in July\u2014a figure that fell short of expectations\u2014and for revising prior months\u2019 data downward by 258,000 jobs. He also took aim at Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, accusing him of manipulating interest rates to help the Biden administration.<\/p>\n<p>According to the Labor Department, July\u2019s job growth was indeed only 73,000, but Trump\u2019s allegations have cast doubt on the reliability of these figures following his decision to remove McEntarfer from her position.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Donald Trump announced Friday that he had fired Dr. Erika McEntarfer, a Biden-appointed official overseeing the production of monthly jobs reports, accusing her of manipulating employment&#8230; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":9788,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-9787","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Trump Dismisses Labor Dept.
