Btw, they accused Biden of fudging numbers in 2024 when there was a serious downward revision to the jobs numbers. Now they’re just firing the BLS commissioner for being accurate

Don’t even get me started. They laid off a ton of BLS employees so more data is imputed (estimated) than collected. Now they’re mad that the revisions (once BLS has more complete data) are more significant. They can’t have their cake and eat it too
