For all of New York Times chief economics correspondent Ben Casselman’s fussbudgeting over President Donald Trump supposedly compromising the reliability of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, a new report pointing to gross BLS ineptitude just made him look like a complete idiot.
The Bidenomics simp Casselman was forced to report that the BLS overestimated jobs growth during the Biden era — AGAIN — this time by nearly 1 million (-911,000) in the 12-month period ending March 2025, the largest revision on record. Casselman conceded that it was the “latest sign that the labor market, until recently a bright spot in the economy, may be weaker than it initially appeared.”
Remember: this scandalously politicized Fake News came out during the election season.
What makes this worse is that Casselman is the same person who co-wrote an embellished pre-election Day report slobbering all over Biden jobs market October 5, 2024: “The Job Market Is Chugging Along, Completing a Solid Economic Picture.” Like the cherry on top of this luscious-looking pile of crow, Casselman praised how “And the incoming evidence points to a clear conclusion: The economy is robust … In fact, the [September BLS] report reinforced that by many measures, the job market is as healthy as it has ever been.”
Oof!

So why 100,000 h-1b work visas a year? How about none!
Rodents are incapable of being embarrassed so don’t worry about comrade Casselman he has already forgotten this story.
The entire Biden Presidency was one big fraudulent act.
missing the mark should be a crime
what about business decisions made baed upon the stats?
Virtually zero average working people give these numbers the slightest thought.
Memory hole with this one, too.
They didn’t overestimate anything.
They just made crap up!...............
It was one big con job!.................
