WASHINGTON \u2013 <\/strong>The nonpartisan, nonprofit Partnership for Public Service<\/a> today released the following statement from President and CEO Max Stier <\/strong>on President Trump\u2019s decision to fire Bureau of Labor Statistics Commissioner Dr. Erika McEntarfer over the results of the July jobs report: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe American people rely on a nonpartisan Bureau of Labor Statistics to help them make informed financial decisions and better understand our economic health. Having unbiased access to this information underpins public trust in our institutions. President Trump is once again destroying the credibility of our government by firing expert and nonpartisan officials because he does not like the facts that they present. Governments that go down this path find themselves in ugly territory very quickly.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the past 24 years, the nonpartisan, nonprofit Partnership for Public Service has been dedicated to building a better government and a stronger democracy. We work across administrations to help transform the way government works by providing agencies with the data insights they need to succeed, developing effective leaders, inspiring the next generation to public service, facilitating smooth presidential transitions and recognizing exceptional federal employees.\u202f  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
