白宫撤回E.J. Antoni领导劳工统计局的提名
摘要
特朗普政府因广泛质疑E.J. Antoni的资历和党派立场，已撤回其领导劳工统计局的提名。
特朗普政府已撤回提名E.J. Antoni担任劳工统计局（BLS）局长，此前其资历和被认为存在的党派偏见遭到广泛批评。白宫一名官员证实了撤回提名的消息，并表示特朗普总统将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，此前特朗普总统解雇了前BLS专员Erika McEntarfer，指控她操纵就业数据以不利于政府，尽管没有证据支持这一说法。
该提名遭到两党批评。经济学家们对Antoni缺乏统计分析经验以及他批评BLS的历史表示担忧。阿拉斯加州共和党参议员Lisa Murkowski及其他共和党参议员 reportedly 表示保留意见，这也促成了撤回提名的决定。
BLS是劳工部下属的独立机构，负责发布包括每月就业和通胀报告在内的关键经济数据。Antoni提名的撤回正值政府停摆期间，导致九月就业报告的发布被推迟。
传统基金会主席Kevin Roberts为Antoni辩护，称他“依然是全国最敏锐的经济学头脑之一”，并强调BLS需要进行改革。
