The United States has the best and most reliable economic data in the world. Those data allow American businesses large and small to understand and respond to changes in the economy, including shifts in the workforce. Those data also allow policymakers at all levels to create policy that is more relevant and useful. These things cannot happen if the data are skewed to please those in power; that is exactly the reason why we do not rely on the economic data produced by the Chinese government.

Trump's removal of the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics because he didn't like the data makes America less great.
