It’s time for the Bureau of Labor Statistics to own up to the fact that the nation’s unemployment statistics have been compromised.
Friday’s jobs report should come with a big asterisk detailing all the investigations the BLS knows about. Maybe the BLS thinks it can’t afford to be that honest.
But I say it can’t afford not to be — if it wants to maintain the long-term integrity of all its statistics. I’ve been telling you for months about the investigations being conducted by the Inspector General at the Census Bureau concerning the falsification of unemployment and inflation data. Probes are also going on at the House Oversight Committee, Congress’ Joint Economic Committee and, probably, the Philadelphia US Attorney’s office.
I do know the BLS is privately expressing lots of concern — although it and the Labor Department haven’t said a word publicly.
It is time for them to do so.
The honest thing would be to warn the public, the financial markets and policy makers. Staying quiet about the investigations is dishonest.

The Kenyan cooking the books again, I’m certain.
"The issue is simple: New York’s cigarette taxes are the highest in the nation. So people are finding ways around this by bringing either untaxed or lightly taxed smokes into the state. And nothing is being done about it."
Poor NYS.
Old saying...”Statistics Lie and Statisticians are liars”.
Does anyone think that a Republican president would have survivied a persistently high level of unemployment like this for five years running? The media would howling about how Americans can’t find work and would be clamoring for impeachment hearings.
And the rat bastards in the news media are digging in without so much as a raised eyebrow.
Heck. I remember 8 years of non stop moaning with over 2.00 per gallon gasoline. 5 + years over 3.80 and deafening silence from liberals.
He’s a proven Communist Lyin’ King - only a fool would believe anything that comes from his banana republic regime.
