BlockBeats previously reported that on August 2, U.S. President Trump posted directly stating "This is a scam against him": "In my opinion, today's employment data is manipulated, aimed at embarrassing Republicans and me - just like before and after the 2024 presidential election, they first released three days of good data, and then on November 15, 2024, right after the election, those data were significantly revised down - this is completely a scam." Subsequently, Trump ordered the firing of Labor Statistics Bureau Director Erika McEntarfer, with her deputy William Wiatrowski to serve as acting director.
