白宫撤回E.J. Antoni领导劳工统计局的提名

摘要

白宫已撤回E.J. Antoni担任劳工统计局局长的提名,计划很快宣布新的提名人选。

据白宫官员透露,白宫已撤回E.J. Antoni领导劳工统计局(BLS)的提名。该官员未说明撤回原因,但称Antoni是一位“杰出的经济学家”,并表示总统唐纳德·特朗普计划很快宣布新的提名人选。

Antoni目前是保守派传统基金会的首席经济学家,他于八月被提名,此前前任劳工统计局局长Erika McEntarfer被解职。McEntarfer在七月就业报告发布后被特朗普总统解雇,该报告显示就业增长低于预期,特朗普批评该报告为“被操纵”。

Antoni的提名因其党派立场和缺乏经验而受到自由派和保守派经济学家的批评。此外,与Antoni相关的一个社交媒体账户据称包含有争议的帖子,包括对卡马拉·哈里斯的性贬低言论以及对LGBTQ群体的贬损评论。

负责监督劳工部的参议院委员会尚未安排Antoni的确认听证会,多位共和党参议员,包括丽莎·默科斯基,对其提名表示担忧。

劳工统计局是劳工部下属的独立机构,负责发布关键经济数据,如每月就业报告和消费者价格指数。经济学家担心,劳工统计局的政治化可能会削弱美国经济数据的可靠性。

白宫还撤回了Brian Quintenz担任商品期货交易委员会主席的提名。一位白宫官员表示,Quintenz仍是值得信赖的盟友,新的提名人选将很快公布。
