2025 - Statement about dismissal of Bureau of Labor Statistics Commissioner in the United States
High-quality data and information are essential for evidence-based decision-making. Trust in facts is essential for democracy. Official statistics agencies around the world are responsible for data collection, processing, and analysis.
We therefore emphasize the importance of the independence of official statistics in order to fulfill their tasks with high quality and credibility.
The International Statistical Institute (ISI) is right to criticize political interference in the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) in the US. That's why we at DAGStat support the ISI's press release.
