摩通:美國勞工數據政治化 或影響貨幣政策實施及金融穩定
美國總統特朗普日前宣布解僱勞工統計局(BLS)局長Erika McEntarfer,指斥對方操縱就業數據。白宮經濟顧問為此事辯護,反駁特朗普此舉可能動搖對美國官方經濟數據信心的批評。另外,特朗普再度指控Erika McEntarfer失職,但未有提出具體證據,並預告三至四天內將提名新局長。
摩根大通發表報告指,對勞工統計局局長McEntarfer被解僱一事表示警惕,並警告此舉可能會破壞美國經濟數據的公正性(Integrity),進而影響貨幣政策的實施和金融穩定。
有報道引述美國貿易代表Jamieson Greer表示,特朗普對勞工數據確有「實質疑慮」(real concern),而國家經濟委員會主任Kevin Hassett亦指出,關鍵爭議在於勞工統計局最新報告向下修訂數據,5月及6月的非農就業職位合共大幅向下修訂25.8萬個,,認為總統要求更換局長是合理。
