The U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of the Inspector General announced Wednesday that they have opened an inquiry into the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ (BLS) methods for gathering and publishing key economic data for the Consumer Price Index and the Producer Price Index. In a letter sent by Laura Nicolosi, the department’s Assistant Inspector General for Audit, to the BLS’s acting director, William Wiatrowski, the OIG announced the intent to review the department. Nicolosi did not specifically mention the revisions in her letter, however, she referenced worries linked to a recent “large downward revision” in job growth that appeared in the agency’s monthly employment reports. Nicolosi’s letter said the investigation would not only examine employment data but also look closely at the production of two critical inflation indicators: the Consumer Price Index and the Producer Price Index. Without evidence, Trump alleged that McEntarfer had manipulated the figures for political reasons.
