"To be honest, I didn't actually believe I had been fired,"
"Dr. McEntarfer, On behalf of President Donald J. Trump, I am writing to inform you that your position as Commissioner of Labor Statistics is terminated effective immediately. Thank you for your service."

Erika McEntarfer served as Commissioner of the Bureau of Labor Statistics and was terminated effective Aug. 1. The termination followed the agency's report showing weak July jobs growth and substantial downward revisions to the prior two months.
