Trump's firing of Erikai McEntarfer came after the release of a disappointing BLS report that showed only 73,000 jobs created in July, below market expectations. Trump alleged that McEntarfer, a political appointee of Biden's, fudged the data to support Kamala Harris's candidacy. Criticisms of BLS methodology and data accuracy have been frequent, and Trump has proposed staff cuts for the agency. The decision comes amid pressures on the Fed and economic tensions on the campaign trail.
