The Bureau of Labor Statistics has been thrust into the spotlight after President Trump criticized its federal jobs report and fired commissioner Erika McEntarfer.

President Trump said Sunday he plans to name a new Federal Reserve Governor and Bureau of Labor Statistics commissioner this week. Why it matters: The resignation of former Fed governor Adriana Kugler and Trump's firing of BLS commissioner Erika McEntarfer give the president the opportunity to appoint people more aligned with his administration's policies and pile further pressure on Fed Chair Jerome Powell.

President Donald Trump claimed without evidence that the massive revisions to the latest jobs report constituted a “scam.” Yet revisions by the BLS were neither historic nor evidence of corruption.
