<\/a><\/p>\nBusiness Insider: America’s economy is ‘driving through the fog’<\/a><\/h2>\nThe decline of economic data could end up with a lot of unemployed workers and increase the chance of recession<\/em>
\n…<\/p>\nFor people who rely on the BLS, the past year has raised acute concerns. The first was President Donald Trump’s firing of BLS Commissioner Erika McEntarfer<\/a> in July. Revisions to that month’s jobs report<\/a> showed that the US had created far fewer jobs than initially reported in the previous two months. Revisions are a standard part of the BLS data collection process, and the size of the adjustments was well within historical norms. Economists warned that the firing could be a harbinger of political meddling in the crucial job and price figures. Jed Kolko<\/a>, a senior fellow at the Petersen Institute for International Economics, called the firing a “five-alarm intentional harm to the integrity of US economic data and the entire statistical system.” Skanda Amarnath<\/a>, Executive Director of Employ America, a think tank, said, “public trust is permanently harmed when the BLS commissioner is fired after one bad jobs report.”

The plan was to keep the procession moving, but when some marchers crossed a no trespassing line in front of the building, federal officers reacted with immediate violence. The response revealed ICE and other related agency\u2019s feelings: that they are at war, and the people are the enemy.
