Senator Ruben Gallego criticizes the Labor Department for not adequately addressing inflation data concerns from Congress.
Quiver AI Summary
Senator Ruben Gallego (D-AZ) has expressed concerns regarding the Bureau of Labor Statistics' (BLS) handling of inflation data following a lackluster jobs report and the dismissal of the agency's chief. He and a group of Democratic senators questioned the BLS about plans to reduce Consumer Price Index (CPI) data collection.
In a letter to the senators, the BLS failed to address specific questions, which included the impact of staffing shortages on data accuracy. Recent reports indicate significant data collection challenges, with whole cities discontinued from price tracking, raising concerns about the reliability of reported inflation figures.
Gallego's office is reportedly exploring legislative options in light of these developments. He highlights that businesses and investors critically rely on accurate BLS data for economic decisions, and the current situation has drawn mixed reactions from experts regarding its implications for inflation trends.
