Trump nominates conservative economist E.J. Antoni to lead US jobs data bureau: Here's why critics are concerned

President Donald Trump has nominated conservative economist E.J. Antoni to lead the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), the agency responsible for US jobs and inflation data. Antoni, known for his partisan views and criticism of the bureau's methodology, faces opposition from economists across the political spectrum. His nomination follows the dismissal of previous commissioner Erika McEntarfer amid controversy over job data revisions. The Senate will review Antoni's confirmation in the coming weeks.
