[quote=Anonymous]Trump is full of it and has White House spinmeisters on overdrive trying to bamboozle Americans. There is no evidence that BLS intentionally manipulated data for political purposes. Former BLS commissioners and economists have stated that the commissioner cannot alter data and that the system is designed to prevent tampering. Trump claimed the 818,000-job revision happened after the 2024 election, in order to make Democrats look good. In fact, it was released on August 21, 2024, before the Democratic convention and months before the election. Logic and timing fail. And ultimately he grossly distorts the impact of the revisions. While revisions were large, they affected monthly changes, not the total job count. The labor market remains vast, so a 258,000 revision, while significant, is a small fraction of total employment.[/quote]
