A group of Republican senators wants to know how President Biden’s Department of Labor severely overestimated the number of new jobs created over the past year — after the agency made its largest downward revision to US payroll figures since 2009.
The revised figures from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), released last week, suggested that there were actually 818,000 fewer jobs during the 12 months ending in March than initially reported — an indication that the economy may be less robust than the White House is saying.
That means that the actual job growth during that period was likely around 30% less than first thought.
While the BLS often revises its job estimates long after the initial numbers make the headlines, the lawmakers said the eye-bulging adjustment was unusually large.

Oh, definitely going to see another of those blistering letters.
“Betrayal of trust”
Oh, that ship sailed long ago.
They could go for a six month long investigation.
Lol.
The turd rollers in the far left, liberal “media” are lyin’ their asses off with every piece of garbage they release. Their FART CHECKERS are more concerned that President Trump “flashed a smile” at Arlington. The jugheads that have positions in the RAT “media” sure are some weird SOBs.
Isn’t it strange the every time the government miscounts something like this it is always in their favor?
Republicans talking about ‘betrayal of trust’ is rich. Just sayin’.
“”wants to know how””
Cut to the chase - easy - THEY LIED! Save the time and US taxpayer’s money!!
“Isn’t it strange the every time the government miscounts something like this it is always in their favor?”

They bloated up the numbers to make them look good.
Now they will use the downward adjustment as a new floor so that any job increases will look bigger.
Its all a game to them. Just another snow job on the American people who never demand accountability.
That number game is what they are going to do at the ballot box too.
“Joe’s gone, man. Let it all out.”
“Republican senators wants to know how President Biden’s Department of Labor severely overestimated the number of new jobs created over the past year”
Be still my beating heart.
Are they going to start defunding these corrupt agencies?
I don’t see how they could be off that much unless it was intentional.
The Sec. Labor seems like another DEI hire.

A good friend and I were talking about this the other day. They outright flatout lied. And if this is the number they admitted to can you imagine the real number?
It was a rounding error…. It was the solar powered calculator…. It was conversion from Metric to English… It was a software glitch….
No, somehow it will be Trump’s fault.
“MAY” NOT BE SO ROBUST???
IF SOMEONE TELLS YOU THAT YOUR BANK ACCOUNT HAS $818,000 DOLLARS more than it should have....
ROBUST isn’t the correct word, IMO.
Giving numbers to a democrat is like giving a unicycle to a seal.
Why”? Because it is the Bureau of Lying Statistics. They try to live up to their name.
