They were revised down over 800k jobs in 2024. This isn’t a Trump problem, this is a BLS doing a shitty job problem. Do a shitty job, get fired.

The contentious part of the report was the significantly lower than expected jobs creation figures. Down by -258k It's a significant finding and not a figure the BLS should publish unless it was certain that figure was true. 258k fewer than expected jobs over a 2 month period could be very serious bad news if true. BLS should not be posting findings based on political agendas and is relied on by many to be a source of truth

Could you share a link to the BLS report and correction where "they were revised down 800k in 2024"
