BLS Revises Job Growth Figures, Reducing Count by 911,000

"...The latest data just confirms what many already suspected—that the situation is worse than we thought...."

"...There’s something incredibly wrong at BLS, and for the sake of our economy, it’s time to fix it...."

"...Let that sink in...."

"...But it’s a lot worse than that...."

"...These aren’t random errors when every revision skews in the same direction...."

"...By relying on faulty data and skewed reporting methods, BLS essentially invented millions of jobs that weren’t there...."

"...That flawed data was then used by the Biden administration and the legacy media to promote a job market that didn’t exist, instead of reporting the weak jobs’ recovery...."

"...For an agency that describes itself as the “principal fact-finding agency for the federal government” in labor economics and statistics, that’s a shocking and intolerable error...."

"...These kinds of miscounts have become the norm for an agency tasked with producing data that regularly steers public policy and drives private economic market swings...."

"...This isn’t just an academic exercise. There are real policy implications that result from faulty numbers. Bad numbers lead to bad policy...."

"...Flawed BLS data painted a far better picture of Biden’s economy than reality—potentially pushing some voters to favor him (and later, Kamala Harris) over Donald Trump...."

"...Trump ended up winning the election regardless—and he’s now proven that his concerns about BLS are absolutely correct...."

"...Trump believes the numbers were “rigged” to make the economy to appear better than it was. Perhaps. Or maybe it was just sheer number counting incompetence...."

"...Either way, this cannot happen again...."

"...That’s a mission he needs to take to BLS to restore it as the gold standard of jobs and labor data...."

"...There is something seriously wrong at BLS. It can and must be fixed...."

"...Americans should back the president’s efforts to do so—including his nominee...."
