Individuals can join signing on this letter to Congress and Administration officials to raise awareness about the risks facing the programs of the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA), the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), and the U.S. Census Bureau—risks that are expected to persist and potentially worsen unless addressed. The letter outlines the budget cuts these agencies have implemented or proposed over the past year, the underlying causes of these reductions, and why these challenges are likely to continue under current trends. It also emphasizes the critical importance of these agencies’ statistical releases to both the public and private sectors, as well as the potential consequences of failing to stabilize these vital programs.
Individuals can sign their name to the letter here by February 12.
