Why the BLS Matters with Former Commissioner Erica Groshen
This is a very special episode of the PolicyViz Podcast. I'm joined by Erica Groshen, former Commissioner of the Bureau of Labor Statistics to talk about the latest jobs report and what the numbers really mean for the state of the economy, including why revisions are an essential part of getting the data right. Dr. Groshen explains how the BLS produces its trusted statistics, the commissioner's role, and what signals she watches for to spot potential recessions. We also discuss the importance of protecting federal statistical agencies, ensuring trust in their data, and what the future might hold for the BLS. It's a fascinating conversation that connects technical detail with big-picture implications.
