Former BLS Commissioner Discusses Trust In The Financial System

The financial system depends on robust and credible economic data. But some observers say the credibility of that data took a blow when President Trump fired Bureau of Labor Statistics Commissioner Erika McEntarfer. Without evidence, Trump said July job numbers from the BLS were rigged against him. On the latest Update-1, Broadcast/Podcast Committee member Tom Young, along with former NPC President and Bankrate Senior Economic Analyst Mark Hamrick, speak with former BLS Commissioner Erica Groshen about job numbers--and trust in the financial system.
