Tom Shoop, the editor-in-chief of Government Executive, joins In Depth to discuss the “political paranoia” surrounding the Bureau of Labor Statistics and last week’s new jobs figures.

“Those who suggest that BLS numbers could be easily manipulated are in fact questioning the very idea of an independent, professional civil service,” Shoop wrote on GovExec.com. “And today they did so with precious little in the way of supporting evidence.”
