Senior White House officials say there’s no plan to suspend the crucial monthly jobs report, shooting down an idea espoused by President Donald Trump’s new nominee to run the agency that produces the data.

The White House on Tuesday said it is "the plan" that the Bureau of Labor Statistics will continue to publish its closely watched monthly employment report after President Donald Trump's pick to head the agency proposed suspending its release while it addresses problems that resulted in historically large revisions to recent job growth estimates.

E.J. Antoni, the conservative economist President Donald Trump named Monday as his pick to lead the nonpartisan Bureau of Labor Statistics, suggested scrapping the BLS's closely watched monthly jobs report in an Aug. 4 interview with Fox News Digital published Tuesday.
