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.

On Tuesday, Fox Business published an interview with the nominee, E.J. Antoni, during which Antoni suggested halting the release of the monthly jobs report and echoed Trump’s unfounded claims that the reports included misleading information.

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