President Donald Trump has nominated Brett Matsumoto, an economist from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), to lead the agency. Matsumoto will be Trump's second pick for the role, as the position has been vacant since August. The BLS is a federal statistical agency that collects and publishes data on employment, unemployment, and other labor market indicators. Matsumoto's nomination comes at a time when the labor market is facing significant challenges due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. If confirmed, Matsumoto will be responsible for overseeing the production and dissemination of crucial economic data that informs policymakers and the public about the state of the U.S. labor market.
