I’ve heard from more than one federal researcher who’s work was held up or stopped because it didn’t support the current regime’s policies.

Of course. I've heard that the BEA was created because the BLS was such a bunch of commies.
I'm just saying that Trump is squashing research findings, regardless of their veracity, when they differ from what he wants to be true.

It seems to me that if you don't like the statistics from some government bureaucracy... you'll just keeping firing people until they give 'the statistics' you do like.
Reminds me of USSR

From what I can gather, they don’t want the bad press of being that blatant.
But, basically, yes.

Trump probably like the stats so much that he wanted to contribute to the jobs report by firing the guy.
“You’re fired”
