On Monday this week, a controversy over the authenticity of labor data sparked widespread attention in U.S. politics. Acting Director of the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics William Vytalowski publicly refuted President Trump’s accusations, emphasizing that all employment data released by the agency strictly follow scientific methods and are free from any manipulation.

Data Trust Crisis Under Political Pressure

In August last year, Trump dismissed former director Erica McEntarfer after the bureau revised its employment figures. This action raised questions about the independence of U.S. government statistics. Under Trump’s scrutiny, whether labor data had been tampered with became a focal point.

Official Clarification: Data Authenticity Is Unquestionable

William Vytalowski clearly stated in his clarification that these allegations are completely unfounded. He further reaffirmed that if any signs of data manipulation are found, he will be the first to disclose it to the public. This statement fully demonstrates the labor statistics department’s confidence in the quality of its data.

The Scientific Logic Behind Employment Data Revisions

Revisions to employment data in August last year are not unusual. According to Vytalowski, concerns from the Trump administration about data tampering are also unnecessary. Such data revisions follow standard statistical procedures and are normal technical adjustments, not the result of political interference.
