UPDATE: Governor Cook has issued a statement.
“President Trump purported to fire me ‘for cause’ when no cause exists under the law, and he has no authority to do so. I will not resign. I will continue to carry out my duties to help the American economy as I have been doing since 2022.”

I was a colleague of Erika's at CEA and can't think of a smarter, more honest person to run BLS. Which is why the president fired her.

Dr. Erika McEntarfer has devoted her career to public service. She has conducted herself as BLS Commissioner with great integrity. There is no evidence whatsoever that BLS data are politically biased.
