President Donald Trump and one of his top economic advisors on Monday stoked baseless conspiracies about federal jobs data, suggesting without evidence that Friday's weaker-than-expected employment report had been "rigged" by federal workers intent on undermining the president. 

"All over the U.S. government, there have been people who have been resisting Trump everywhere they can," National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett stated on Monday.

Trump, for his part, claimed on social media that the report, which painted a gloomy picture of the economy, was "RIGGED" and the previous months' revisions had been "CONCOCTED in order to make a great Republican Success look less stellar!!!"

To safeguard the integrity of economic data, Hassett asserted that the economists and statisticians leading the agencies responsible for data collection should be replaced. "To ensure that the data are as transparent and as reliable as possible, we're going to get highly qualified people in there with a fresh perspective," Hassett noted.

Trump recently dismissed Bureau of Labor Statistics commissioner Erika McEntarfer. Monday's remarks from Trump and Hassett reflected a continued effort by the White House to critique the labor statistics bureau's work in light of justifying McEntarfer's termination. They further insinuated that any government economic data diverging from Trump's political narrative must be false and manipulated by partisan federal employees.

When monthly jobs reports from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reflect well for the White House, Trump is quick to take credit and highlight the BLS figures as evidence of the success of his economic plans. "GREAT JOB NUMBERS, FAR BETTER THAN EXPECTED. IT'S ALREADY WORKING. HANG TOUGH, WE CAN'T LOSE!!!" Trump wrote on social media this spring after job growth in March exceeded expectations.

However, months later, Trump and his aides now contend that the BLS data cannot be trusted, labeling the downward revisions of the last two months' reports as fabricated. This line of reasoning echoes Trump's attempts to erode trust in the voting process following his loss in the 2020 presidential election. In his Monday post, Trump connected the jobs report to the voting process directly: "Last weeks Job's Report was RIGGED, just like the numbers prior to the Presidential Election were Rigged."

Nevertheless, there is no evidence to suggest the jobs report data was manipulated, and revisions are a customary part of the reporting process. Reports typically gain in accuracy in subsequent months as additional data is received from businesses reporting their employment changes. 

"The commissioner doesn't do anything to collect the numbers," former BLS chief William Beach, who was appointed by Trump, stated on Sunday as he criticized McEntarfer’s dismissal. "The commissioner doesn't see the numbers until Wednesday before they're published," he added.
