President Trump accused the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) on Sunday of inflating job figures to an “all time high” prior to the US presidential election, just a few days after announcing her resignation.
“Head of the Van van van van van[sic] Work statistics did the same just before the presidential election, when they raised the figures for jobs on an all -time, “Trump said on Sunday afternoon in a position against his truth social report.” I nevertheless won the elections, and she approved the figures, and called it a mistake of nearly a million jobs. “

“A scam!” Trump continued. “She did it again, with a huge” correction “, and was fired! She had the biggest misales in more than 50 years.”
The post follows only a few days after Trump picked up at the Bureau of Labor Statistics and said that he would dismiss Mceltarfer after the American economy had added fewer jobs than expected in July and large downward revisions were made in the previous two months – which suggests that the economy and the labor market were weaker than previously believed.

“I have just informed that the ‘job figures’ of our country are produced by a Biden -appointed, Dr. Erika Mceltarfer, the Commissioner of Labor Statistics, who falsified the job numbers before the elections to try to encourage Kamala’s opportunities for victory,” Post Trump on Friday.
