The totally groundless firing of Dr. Erika McEntarfer, my successor as Commissioner of Labor Statistics at BLS, sets a dangerous precedent and undermines the statistical mission of the Bureau. For a full statement opposing this move, read: friendsofbls.org/updates/2025/8…

A huge expression of gratitude to Miccosukee tribal leadership for welcoming us to their tribal lands in Florida. It was an honor to meet with them this week. @uscensusbureau seeks a stronger, continuous relationship to help address the Miccosukee nation’s data needs.

Wrapped up a productive roundtable with Rep. Frost's team, local leaders, & our incredible partners! Our hard work together will be critical to the success of the #2030Census. Census data shape how trillions of dollars in federal funds are spent annually.

Pleased to speak at #FHC24 on @uscensusbureau’s commitment to producing accurate data. Between 2010-2020, U.S. housing grew by 6.7% — half the previous decade’s rate. Combining demographic and housing data reveals economic opportunities, addresses needs & mitigates inequities.
