The Daily Signal - The Daily Signal Presents “The “Signal Sitdown – Former BLS Nominee EJ Antoni Tells All About His Nomination Fight

On Tuesday, the nomination of ⁠E.J. Antoni⁠, the Chief Economist at The Heritage Foundation, to become the next Commissioner of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, was withdrawn. In his first long-form interview since his withdrawal, Antoni joins ⁠“The Signal Sitdown”⁠ for an inside look at life as a presidential nominee and the problems with our economic data that President Donald Trump is trying to solve.


When Antoni met with the president in the Oval Office upon his ⁠nominatio⁠n, the biggest piece of advice that Trump gave him was “always tell the truth.” 


In the months since ⁠President Donald Trump⁠ nominated him for the position in August, Antoni has lived the unique life of a presidential nominee—constant meetings on Capitol Hill, continued preparation for the nominated role in the administration, and very little sleep. But, day after day, Antoni took the president’s words to heart and told Senators the hard truths about our economy and our economic data.


Antoni explained why the BLS is in desperate need of reform, ”The problems were starting to surface, really, many, many years ago with things like people just not responding to government surveys anymore. Those response rates have been steadily trending down,” ⁠Antoni told The Daily Signal⁠.

NPR's Andrea Hsu talks to Andrew Limbong about her reporting on the federal workforce and the challenge of finding people willing to talk about their experiences.
