This bit is rather an aside, but part of an expected set of adjustments.

“the previously robust January jobs numbers had been downwardly revised by more than a whopping 35 percent, from 353,000 to 229,000. If that wasn’t bad enough, the February jobs report also reduced the December 2023 jobs numbers from 333,000 to 290,000, totaling a 167,000-job overestimate for December and January combined. In addition, new data from the Philadelphia Federal Reserve showed that the U.S. economy added two-thirds fewer jobs in the third quarter of 2023 than previously reported by the BLS report, according to The Daily Caller.”

That’s hardly an aside. It speaks to how crooked Biden is.

“...two-thirds fewer jobs in the third quarter of 2023 than previously reported by the BLS report” — WOW. TWO THIRDS of the “created” jobs weren’t real. That’s cooking the books.

Biden, of course, reports the first number, not the revised number.
