On Sunday, Hassett said that installing Trump’s “own people” will help achieve more “transparent and reliable” jobs reports in the future.
“The president wants his own people there so that when we see the numbers, they’re more transparent and more reliable. And if there are big changes and big revisions — we expect more big revisions for the jobs data in September, for example — then we want to know why, we want people to explain it to us,” he said.
