(DCNF)—U.S. job growth in the year through March was much weaker than previously reported, according to Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) revisions released on Tuesday.
The U.S. economy likely added 911,000 fewer jobs in the year ending in March — or an average of almost 76,000 fewer each month — according to the BLS’ preliminary benchmark revision. The report comes after job growth slowed in August, with the U.S. economy adding just 22,000 nonfarm payroll jobs, according to data released Friday by BLS.
ADVERTISEMENT The jobs report revisions were even worse than the downward adjustment of 700,000 that was previously projected, Axios reported on Tuesday. The BLS’ final benchmark revision will be released in February 2026.

The revisions come after President Donald Trump fired BLS Commissioner Erika McEntarfer on Aug. 11 after the release of a lackluster July jobs report, alleging she had “faked the Jobs Numbers” ahead of the 2024 presidential election in an effort to “boost” former Vice President Kamala Harris’ “chances of victory.” Trump announced Aug. 11 that he had tapped conservative economist Dr. E.J. Antoni to replace McEntarfer as the next BLS commissioner.
“BLS’s massive downward revision of last year’s jobs numbers confirms what Main Street has long known: The Biden labor market was far softer than topline numbers indicated,” Alfredo Ortiz, CEO of Job Creators Network, said in a statement provided to the Daily Caller News Foundation. “President Trump inherited a weak labor market, which the Federal Reserve has kept stagnant through artificially high interest rates.”
“Lower interest rates, combined with Trump’s policies of tax cuts, deregulation, and pro-energy initiatives, will jumpstart the economy in the months to come,” Ortiz added. “New JCN polling finds that nearly all small businesses plan to use their tax cut savings to expand, hire, raise wages, or invest in their communities. This massive revision also proves Trump correct in replacing the head of the BLS with Heritage Foundation economist E.J. Antoni. It gives new urgency to his confirmation to fix the mess at the BLS.”

Democrats lie about everything - it is the only way they can look good. I hope the American public is becoming aware of their lies.
Rats been doing this for decades.
nearly a million this time around after nearly a million were shown to be fraudulent six months ago...
You really can never have enough contempt for liberals - both the politicians and their voters.
Number one reason you can’t use job numbers to affect monetary policy. they are all fake.
Democrats always do whatever will get them the most power as quickly and cheaply as possible. Without the slightest regard as to how history will see them. After they’ve won, they’ll re-write history.
Biden regime LIED and it still didnt help their drunken idiot win..1 million less jobs then the Biden regime claimed that they had, figures
Those Democrats voters aware of it approve. They share orange man bad syndrome with their leaders. They share the immorality and support the lust for unbridled power that drives Democrats. The Democrat voters think they’ll get a bigger share of the pelf looted from the hard working long suffering taxpayers. If you condone stealing as long as the government is doing it and you’re a receiver of the stolen goods, then you’ll have no problem condoning lies that facilitate the process.
The business news reported this was for a 12 month period that ended June 30.
Guess who was president for 8 of those 12 months?
I’m betting the corrupt New York Times and Washington Post either bury this story on some page 4 below the fold place - or don’t cover it at all.
they cheat
and they still lose
