The Trump administration is exploring potential alterations to the collection and release methods of federal employment data following a recent departure of the Bureau of Labor Statistics director amidst concerns over inaccurate employment reports. White House officials have held closed-door discussions involving both the White House and the Department of Labor, aiming to implement new technologies for increased data efficiency. A key focus is enhancing survey response rates, according to a White House assistant. The President, Donald Trump, has directed his administration to avoid substantial alterations in future employment data releases, emphasizing the importance of accuracy. Press Secretary Levitt confirmed the President’s review of the ‘statistical methods and processes’ associated with monthly non-farm payroll reports, typically released on the first Friday of each month. This report suggests any changes to the data collection process could raise concerns about political manipulation as previous attempts have been marred by accusations of bias.
