特朗普在社交媒体上宣布，安东尼(E.J. Antoni)将成为劳工统计局的下一任专员。
安东尼在传统基金会担任首席经济学家。
“我们的经济正在蓬勃发展，E.J .将确保发布的数据是诚实和准确的。我知道E.J. Antoni将在这个新角色上做得令人难以置信，”特朗普在社交媒体上写道。
他宣布这一消息时，最新的通货膨胀报告将于周二上午发布。与一年前相比，7月份的通货膨胀率预计将上升至2.8%。
这将是本月早些时候BLS专员埃里卡·麦克恩塔费尔因一份令人失望的就业报告而被解雇以来的第一份重要的BLS报告。
Trump picks Heritage Foundation economist for Labor Statistics post
Trump announced on social media that E.J. Antoni will be the next commissioner of the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Antoni served as the chief economist at The Heritage Foundation.
"Our Economy is booming, and E.J. will ensure that the Numbers released are HONEST and ACCURATE. I know E.J. Antoni will do an incredible job in this new role," Trump wrote on social media.
His announcement comes as the latest report on inflation will be released Tuesday morning. July inflation is expected to have ticked up to 2.8% compared to a year ago.
It will be the first major BLS report since the then-BLS Commissioner Erika McEntarfer was fired earlier this month after a disappointing jobs report.
