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.

Bureau of Labor Statistics commissioner nominee E.J. Antoni has suggested suspending monthly jobs reports in favor of more accurate quarterly reports.

After President Trump nominated E.J. Antoni, an economist at the Heritage Foundation, to lead the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the White House told RealClearPolitics Tuesday that it is the “plan” and “hope” of the administration to continue to release monthly job reports.
