President Trump announced E.J. Antoni as his nominee to lead the Bureau of Labor Statistics on Monday, after he fired the former commissioner and blamed her for a weaker-than-expected jobs report.

Antoni's nomination comes a week after he posted on social media criticizing the Bureau of Labor's leadership and data.

Trump nominated E.J. Antoni two weeks after firing Erika McEntarfer, accusing her of rigging job report numbers to make him "look bad."

President Donald Trump ’s pick to head the Bureau of Labor Statistics, who previously proposed scrapping monthly jobs reports, is now backing off that idea, according to a report.

La recente nomina di EJ Antoni alla guida del Bureau of Labor Statistics sta suscitando preoccupazioni tra gli economisti per il suo carattere politico.
