Transcript
00:00Will the Bureau of Labor Statistics continue to put out monthly job reports?
00:05Well, look, what I'll tell you about the Bureau of Labor Statistics, I believe that is the plan and that's the hope,
00:11and that these monthly reports will be data that the American people can trust.
00:15As you know, the Bureau of Labor Statistics has made massive revisions after the last several points reports that they have put out.
00:24And there has certainly been a decline in the quality and the reliability of data coming from the Bureau of Labor Statistics,
00:30and there's been an increase in revisions.
00:33And this president and the administration is finally tackling this problem that so many have talked about,
00:38and the president is actually doing something about it.
00:40We need to restore new leadership that we can trust.
00:42As you know, the president has appointed someone new to take over the VLS,
00:46and so we need to look at the means and the methods of how the United States is acquiring this very important data,
00:51and all of that is going to be done.
00:53And the goal, of course, is to provide honest and good data for the American people to make very important economic decisions on.
