P resident Donald Trump nominated E.J. Antoni, chief economist at the conservative Heritage Foundation, as the next commissioner of the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), the president said in a social media post late Monday.

EJ Antoni, President Donald Trump’s pick to lead the Bureau of Labor Statistics, is no longer considering suspending the monthly jobs report — one of the most crucial and historic measurements of US economic activity — after proposing the unprecedented action during an interview that published Tuesday.

President Trump announced E.J. Antoni as his nominee to lead the Bureau of Labor Statistics on Monday, after he fired the former commissioner earlier this month and blamed her for a weaker-than-expected jobs report.
