President Trump on Friday fired the Biden-appointed Commissioner of the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) after she ‘faked’ the jobs numbers before the 2024 election to try to boost Kamala Harris’s chances of a victory.
Dr. Erika McEntarfer was promptly fired on Friday after an abysmal July jobs report. The US only added 73,000 jobs in July and the previous months were all revised down.
“Nonfarm payrolls growth totaled 73,000 for July, above the June total of 14,000 but below even the meager Dow Jones estimate for a gain of 100,000,” CNBC reported.
“June and May totals were revised sharply lower, down by a combined 258,000 from previously announced levels,” the outlet reported.
Trump said McEntarfer will be replaced with someone “much more competent and qualified.”
“I was just informed that our Country’s “Jobs Numbers” 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’s chances of Victory. This is the same Bureau of Labor Statistics that overstated the Jobs Growth in March 2024 by approximately 818,000 and, then again, right before the 2024 Presidential Election, in August and September, by 112,000. These were Records — No one can be that wrong? We need accurate Jobs Numbers. I have directed my Team to fire this Biden Political Appointee, IMMEDIATELY. She will be replaced with someone much more competent and qualified. Important numbers like this must be fair and accurate, they can’t be manipulated for political purposes. McEntarfer said there were only 73,000 Jobs added (a shock!) but, more importantly, that a major mistake was made by them, 258,000 Jobs downward, in the prior two months. Similar things happened in the first part of the year, always to the negative. The Economy is BOOMING under “TRUMP” despite a Fed that also plays games, this time with Interest Rates, where they lowered them twice, and substantially, just before the Presidential Election, I assume in the hopes of getting “Kamala” elected – How did that work out? Jerome “Too Late” Powell should also be put “out to pasture.” Thank you for your attention to this matter!” Trump said on Truth Social on Friday.
Joe Biden and Kamala Harris were cooking the books the whole time and lying to the American people.
Last August, shortly before the presidential election, the Bureau of Labor Statistics did a massive downward revision of jobs AGAIN by up to 1 MILLION!
On Wednesday, the Bureau of Labor Statistics will downward revise jobs for the April 2023-March 2024 period by up to 1 million. This means that all “beats” recorded in the past year will have been misses and the US job market is in far worse shape than the admin would admit.

According to Bloomberg, payrolls growth between April 2023 to March 2024 was up to 1 million weaker than previously reported.
Last August during the election, President Trump responded to the report that the jobs numbers under Biden and Harris were fraudulent.
“There has been a report that the jobs numbers are fraudulent,” Trump said last August. “That’s a terrible insult to our economy.”

Not only are the jobs numbers fraudulent, all jobs recovered post-Covid under Biden-Harris went to foreign-born workers – including illegal aliens.
Per the Center for Immigration Studies: All employment growth has gone to the foreign-born. 183,000 fewer U.S.-born Americans are working than in 2019, before Covid. Yet, the number of immigrants (legal and illegal) working is up 2.9 million over 2019.
