New data shows 400,000 jobs that the Biden admin claimed to have created last year never actually existed

The Bureau of Labor Statistics has taken a second look at all of the jobs that were supposedly created during Biden's last year in office before the election and found something ... interesting.

"The Biden administration claimed to have added almost 400,000 jobs from July through September of last year, but new data released this week suggest none of those jobs ever existed..."

Even I, as a supreme skeptic of the Biden admin and everything that comes out of D.C., did not see this one coming.

I mean, sure, the numbers were fake. But they were ALL made up?

The Biden administration claimed to have added almost 400,000 jobs from July through September of last year, but new data released this week suggest none of those jobs ever existed ...

Here's how Townhall has come up with this stat:

While these monthly job reports are compiled from a survey of over 600,000 businesses, of which fewer than 200,000 are surveyed each month. But the BLS also publishes much more comprehensive quarterly data called Business Employment Dynamics (BED) that come from a census of over 12 million businesses — that's over 17 times the sample size of the monthly job reports' survey.

This more accurate dataset was just released by the BLS for the third quarter of last year, which ran from the start of July through the end of September. In stark contrast to the monthly job reports showing an increase of 399,000 jobs during the third quarter, these new numbers show a decline of 1,000 private-sector jobs.

Now, these don't measure the exact same thing, so it would be wrong to call this a "correction."

The more accurate data are in the second analysis, which shows that instead of adding 399,000 new jobs in the last quarter of 2024, we LOST 1,000 jobs.

Now, I'm no math wiz, but I think that's a difference of about 400,000.

We've got some important questions to ask about the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Why are we not firing them, if not charging them with fraud?— DataRepublican (small r) (@DataRepublican) May 12, 2025

Why, indeed.

To be fair Joe probably hallucinated that he created jobs. Be kind.

never actually existed

The above could be used for most every "fact" ever uttered by a Leftist.

People need to go to prison for this. Government numbers greatly affect markets. Check to see who benefited frkm these fake numbers. At least fore everybody at the BLS.

So someone at the Bureau of Labor Statistics released fake numbers in the last months running up to the election to show the economy and job market were “doing great” under the current regime. Sounds like election tampering to me.

What about all those jobs that Joe created at Visiting Angels, DC office?

Jill says, "Thanks for bathing Joe...and Hunter."

New data? Then how come we knew it back when they led about it?

We all know that Government agencies as important as the DOJ, FBI, CIA, HHS, IRS have been corrupted by left-wing DC politics and democrat power grabs

That’s in addition to many private civil and religions institutions being corrupted as well

So why would anyone trust that Fed.gov statistics-keeping agencies and bureaus are giving us clean and non-corrupted statistics?

You have to understand how the labor market works - everything is not static.

Every month a million jobs disappear, and slightly more than a million appear. The difference between the jobs that disappear and the jobs that are created is the net increase - or decrease - in the number of jobs. Some of these jobs may not be filled at any given time. Many people are self-employed, and their business may or may not be making money.

This is why it is difficult to say what is actually going on.

It means there 200,000 sample wasn’t random, it was selected for the purpose of producing the desired result.
