I don’t think I have ever publicly criticized any Presidential nominee before. But E.J. Antoni is completely unqualified to be BLS Commissioner. He is an extreme partisan and does not have any relevant expertise. He would be a break from decades of nonpartisan technocrats.

Data revision: I criticized the Judy Shelton nomination for Fed.

@Rock5491 I’m skeptical he can cook the books but worried. He is 5 years out of his PhD, has only worked in highly partisan organizations, has not worked on government data or with stakeholders, has said crazy/false things about BLS, and has no management experience.
