According to BlockBeats, on August 2nd, after the release of non farm payroll data yesterday, the US Bureau of Labor Statistics significantly lowered the non farm payroll data for May and June. The number of new non farm jobs added in May was revised from 144000 to 19000; The number of new non farm employment in June was revised from 147000 to 14000. After the revision, the total number of new jobs added in May and June was 258000 lower than before the revision.
US President Trump issued a statement directly pointing out that "this is a scam against him": "In my opinion, today's employment data is manipulated to embarrass Republicans and me - just like before and after the 2024 presidential election, they first presented three days of beautiful data, and then on November 15, 2024, just after the election, these data were significantly revised down - this is completely a scam." Subsequently, Trump ordered the dismissal of Erika McEntarfer, the director of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, and his deputy William Wiatrowski will serve as acting director.
In addition, Trump stated early this morning: "Based on the highly provocative remarks made by former Russian President and current Vice Chairman of the Russian Federal Security Council, Medvedev, I have ordered the deployment of two nuclear submarines to the corresponding areas to prevent these foolish and provocative remarks from being mere rhetoric." He also updated at 8 am this morning that the nuclear submarines have come closer to Russia.
