最新报道:According to a report from Bijie.com, E.J. Anthony, chief economist at the conservative think tank Heritage Foundation, has emerged as a leading candidate for director of the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). According to a senior administration official, the Trump administration is interviewing candidates for BLS director, including at least one longtime critic of the agency. Earlier this month, Trump fired the BLS director following the release of a weak jobs report, and officials are currently weighing his successor. E.J. Anthony, who was interviewed as chief economist at the Heritage Foundation, has long questioned the agency's employment statistics methodology. A White House spokesperson stated, "President Trump has selected the best person to lead the federal government and will announce the new BLS director once his decision is made." The report indicates that the White House's consideration of appointing a prominent critic suggests Trump plans major reforms to the agency.
