Instead, because there were bad jobs numbers, off with McEntarfer&rsquo;s professional head.<\/p>\n<p>So, beyond the fact that she&rsquo;s Joe Biden&rsquo;s pick and that the new president has announced his intention to sweep house, let&rsquo;s go into why canning McEntarfer wasn&rsquo;t just a matter of loyalty, but one of trust.<\/p>\n<p>Before being nominated by Biden and confirmed by the Senate &mdash; by a relatively healthy 86-8 margin, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bloomberglaw.com\/daily-labor-report\/senate-confirms-biden-pick-to-lead-bureau-of-labor-statistics\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bloomberg Law<\/a>, it should be noted &mdash; McEntarfer has a <a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20241005183811\/https:\/\/erikamcentarfer.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/cv-mcentarfer.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">long history<\/a> in the economic wing of the D.C. swamp, specifically at the Census Bureau&rsquo;s Center for Economic Studies, where she had been since 2010.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps July&rsquo;s jobs report is what drew President Trump&rsquo;s attention in her general direction, but if you&rsquo;re going to Washington with a mandate to drain the swamp generally and the prior administration&rsquo;s swamp specifically, she should have been updating that CV on Jan. 21.<\/p>\n<p>Her tenure, short that it might be, also saw controversies over the quality of data the BLS was producing.<\/p>\n<p>Last June, six months after she took the position, McEntarfer <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2024-06-07\/us-jobs-household-survey-size-to-be-cut-amid-budget-constraints\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">announced<\/a> that BLS would be reducing the sample size of its household survey in the monthly jobs report by 7.6 percent in 2025, citing budget constraints and telling a conference there was a &ldquo;real risk&rdquo; in a decline in data quality.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Survey costs are increasing faster than the budget. In the past we have managed, but now sample cuts are needed,&rdquo; she said.<\/p>\n<p>Then in December, the Department of Labor found in a review that the BLS was &ldquo;not sufficiently focused&rdquo; on how <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/stocks-fall-bonds-rise-as-investors-seek-safety\/\" title=\"Stocks fall, bonds rise as investors seek safety\">key economic data<\/a> are released and that the culture of the agency required retooling.<\/p>\n<p>From <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2024-12-10\/bls-needs-culture-revamp-after-botched-us-releases-review-finds\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bloomberg<\/a>:<\/p>\n<p><em>The report was commissioned after several incidents around data releases raised questions about how some of the world&rsquo;s most sensitive economic information gets disseminated. In August, the BLS provided at least three Wall Street firms with highly anticipated figures on revisions to US payrolls &mdash; all while the official release was delayed on its website&hellip;<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>The episode not only sparked outrage among investors but also on Capitol Hill, where key Senate Republicans charged the BLS with its &ldquo;continued failures&rdquo; in producing crucial economic data and demanded answers to questions around its data release protocols.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Other incidents earlier in the year raised similar concerns. In May, the BLS inadvertently published inflation data a half hour before the scheduled release time, and separately a BLS economist disclosed internal data to an exclusive group of analysts he described as &ldquo;super users.&rdquo;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Does this directly tie McEntarfer or the BLS as currently constituted to cooking and then revising jobs numbers for political reasons? No, but it doesn&rsquo;t paint the most optimistic picture of the inner workings of the BLS, either.<\/p>\n<p>The two most important words in this whole to-do are this: &ldquo;Biden holdover.&rdquo; If this were a Trump holdover and Joe Biden got cantankerous about jobs numbers between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. &mdash; the hours which White House staff told reporters he was &ldquo;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/shock-wh-aides-admit-biden-dependably-engaged-25-percent-day\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">dependably engaged<\/a>,&rdquo; in case you&rsquo;ve forgotten &mdash; that person would be gone fasters than a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/biden-says-media-will-debunk-trumps-debate-claims-brings-debunked-lying-dog-faced-pony-soldier-quote\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/youre-full-of-sh-6-times-joe-biden-lost-his-temper-before-becoming-president\/\" title=\"\u2018You\u2019re full of sh**!\u2019: 6 Times Joe Biden Lost His Temper Before Becoming ...\">lying dog-faced pony soldier<\/a><\/a> and\/or Corn Pop and his &ldquo;<a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/oihV9yrZRHg?si=wNOEdQlUv7uL62Vf&amp;t=261\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">bad boys<\/a>.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>That person would have been gone faster if it came up during the hours where he <em>wasn&rsquo;t<\/em> &ldquo;dependably engaged&rdquo; &mdash; but that&rsquo;s probably because White House staff could have convinced Biden he was a holdover from the Wendell Willkie administration, and who would want a BLS head appointed by <a href=\"https:\/\/retrospectjournal.com\/2020\/11\/15\/wendell-willkie-the-hidden-architect-of-post-war-american-internationalism\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">that hard-drinking plutocrat<\/a>?
