31. BLS will not be "purged".

It is possible that they quit publishing the monthly jobs report, but they can't get rid of everybody or shut it down. That won't happen.

Notice how the permanent BLS commissioner job has been vacant for 7 months now without a nominee even named (the original nominee was so bad, he was forced to withdraw very quickly to avoid the embarrassment of being rejected)? BLS isn't a priority of this administration.
