White House National Economic Council Director: Not Interested in Leading the Bureau of Labor Statistics

According to ChainCatcher, citing Jintou News, White House National Economic Council Director Hassett stated that he does not aspire to lead the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Despite the disappointing employment report, he described the economy as "smooth sailing."

Previously, U.S. President Trump dismissed the current director, Erika McEntarfer, due to weak non-farm payroll data, and William Wiatrowski will serve as the acting director of the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
