Economist Steve Moore appeared on Fox Business Friday to criticize a key Biden administration appointee at the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), describing her tenure as marked by “gigantic errors” in the reporting of U.S. job data.
President Donald Trump announced on Truth Social that he has ordered the firing of BLS Commissioner Erika McEntarfer, accusing her of manipulating job numbers after a disappointing July jobs report. During an appearance on “The Bottom Line,” Moore said that the BLS has revised its job creation numbers multiple times. The downward revisions, he added, could reach as high as 500,000.
“I am also told by my sources at BLS that they are going to, you know, they do all these re-estimates over time. There’s a good sense that they may revise downward the jobs created by Biden by another 500,000 or so. So those are gigantic errors. And so I think she needed to be fired just because of incompetence,” Moore said.
Moore criticized the Biden administration’s handling of the BLS, including removal of key reforms instituted by Bill Beach. Moore said that Beach’s firing paved the way for the current leadership to dismantle procedures aimed at improving data accuracy and transparency.
“We had a good friend of mine, Bill Beach, was running the Bureau of Labor Statistics, and then he got fired by Biden. And all of the reforms that were put in place to have a better procedure were eliminated under this woman,” Moore said.
Moore criticized McEntarfer’s ability to estimate job numbers, saying that under her leadership the data was inconsistent and unreliable.
“I can’t really comment on that, whether she was playing politics, but what I can tell you is that she isn’t a very good estimator of the jobs because the numbers have been all over the place,” Moore said.
The U.S. economy added 73,000 non-farm payroll jobs in July, falling short of expectations for 100,000 job gains. The unemployment rate rose slightly to 4.2%, while the economy recently posted a 3.0% GDP growth rate for the second quarter of 2025.
Ahead of the release of Friday’s job data, analysts had estimated the U.S. economy would see a gain of around 100,000 jobs in July, following a 3.0% growth in GDP for the second quarter of 2025. At the same time, the nation’s manufacturing output saw a modest increase in June, while jobless claims continued to decline, with President Trump pledging to strengthen the economy through his America First policies in his second term.

Discover the Freedom of True American Healthcare: Why America First is Revolutionizing Protection for Patriots
In a world where government overreach and skyrocketing premiums are squeezing the life out of hardworking Americans, one innovative agency is standing tall for liberty and affordability. Meet America First Healthcare—the private health insurance powerhouse dedicated to putting *you* first.
Founded by entrepreneur Jordan Sarmiento, this isn’t just insurance; it’s a shield for your family’s future, built on the unshakeable belief that private enterprise delivers better results than bureaucratic red tape.
