BLS has always revised its estimates, if appropriate, after considering additional data. It has done this regardless of administration. Maybe they could consider NOT releasing that tentative first estimate at all. Then it wouldn’t need to be revised once ALL the data is in. Just sayin’,
Maybe these bureaucrats could just check their own political leanings at the door when they accept jobs to perform duties that we pay them well for.
Politically all this is very transparent. Open eyes will see it.
The million job downward revision after the election told me that BLS was basically making it up. I don’t know what the right numbers are, but I surely do not trust the ones we have been getting.
“BLS has always revised its estimates, if appropriate, after considering additional data. It has done this regardless of administration. “
Exactly
She revised it 818k. She just revised it another 300k. The fed is making decisions based off these numbers that aren’t even close. She was off 20%. If she’s not held to account may as well never fire anyone for cause.
It would be interesting to see a bar chart with all the releases in order of date, with a length of each bar being how wrong it was, and color coded red or blue if the error helps Rs or helps Ds, respectively. A huge overstatement of jobs during the Biden era would make a lengthy blue bar. Would there be any lengthy red bars? Or enough shorter red bars to compensate? Or would essentially all the bars be blue? (In which case they would not be “errors” but rather criminal partisan fraud.) Note also that the FBI grossly underreported crime prior to a debate, such that Trump could be “fact chacked” with a lie, another lengthy blue bar, this time from the FBI.
BLS has been cooking the books since inception.
