White House Economic Adviser Kevin Haysit defends the Trump president for work statistics
White House economic advisor Kevin Haysit defended on Sunday the decision of President Donald Trump to dismiss the head of the Labor Statistics Office, as well as the president’s claim that reports of the weaker jobs are “falsified”, but it failed to provide any evidence to support Trump’s demand.
“What we need is a new group of eyes on BLS,” Haysit, director of the National Economic Council, told NBC News.
On Friday, the work statistics office issued a monthly job report that includes weaker numbers for July, as well as the main declining reviews of the Mayo and June numbers.
In a publication on the social truth on Friday, the president said that the job numbers were “forged” and that he asked his team to launch the BLS Commissioner Eric Minarker.
“We need accurate job numbers. My team has ordered the dismissal of this political appointee, Biden, immediately. It will be replaced by a more efficient and qualified person. Important numbers must be fair and accurate.” books.
In another social publication, the president added, “In my opinion, today’s job numbers were formed to make the Republicans, and I look bad.”
On Sunday, Hasait made similar doubts about the accuracy of job numbers, pointing to the previous reviews that were conducted on job reports after the then President Joe Biden stopped nominating his re -election last year.
“There was a group of patterns that could make people ask. I think the most important thing that people should know is that this is the priority of the high president is to trust them and that people reach the reason for the lack of reliability of these reviews.”
He later added in the interview that the Trump administration’s goal is to understand the reason for such a large review of the numbers of past months.
“The bottom line is that there are people involved in the creation of these numbers. If I run BLS and I have a huge number and importantly important, the largest since 1968 is actually … I will have a long report that explains exactly what happened. We did not get it.”
It is not uncommon for job reports to be reviewed in the months that followed its release, but Hasait stressed on Sunday that the July review was one of the biggest review he saw for decades.
Trump faced criticism from Democrats and Republicans in Congress on Friday when he decided to shoot MCNTarfer, where many Republican Senate members wonder whether the shooting will actually help the Trump administration improve the number of future jobs.
“It is very difficult to issue judgments that statistics will not be politicized” when we look at the place of objective statistics. When statistics are launched, it makes it very difficult to issue judgments, as you know, statistics will not be politicized. “
He added: “I will search for it, but the first impression is that you cannot really make the numbers different or better by launching the people who take the count.”
On Sunday, Haysit said that Trump’s “people” would help achieve more “transparent and reliable” reports in the future.
He said: “The president wants his people there even when we see the numbers, they are more transparent and more reliable.
