The firing of a senior official responsible for overseeing the release of employment data raises serious concerns about the politicization and potential manipulation of key economic indicators. Maintaining the integrity and impartiality of government data is crucial for ensuring transparency, public trust, and informed decision-making across all sectors. I urge you to investigate this matter thoroughly, address any potential violations, and implement safeguards to prevent future interference in the collection and dissemination of critical economic statistics. Protecting the independence of government agencies and data from undue influence should be a top priority to uphold democratic principles and the public's right to accurate information.
