I don't understand why any Obama appointee remains in office. They've all been shown to be corrupt to their political beliefs.

She looks like someone who would purposely fudge the numbers to make Trump look bad. Liberal activist have no integrity.


And tipping off the Pelosi’s so they can make the correct trades before the reports are officially released.

might be nice to have an understandable explanation of how they are calculated and how the "seasonal" bullshite is cooked

Look I’ve been pretty critical of Trump, but there is no excuse for these huge retroactive corrections. Seems like they are just making shite up.


It’s because you don’t understand the nature of data collection and statistics. The lag between getting all the data compiled and getting it out at useful point in time is too great. They basically report what they have so it’s reasonably close to what it will be when all the data has been processed. You will always have to adjust what you previously reported. Having worked fairly closely with the BLS with three presidents I can tell you the data has always been very reliable. During the times of serious upheaval like hurricanes, recessions, and Covid the BLS did an amazing job reporting on a state and county level.
This move is ridiculous.

Going to have to cut deeper with the scapel...I expect that department is riddled with incompetence.


If there is anything the government has been historically really good at doing its data collection. Data collecting is far from politically partisan.

The problem is that they have been way off ever since this person was put in.


One month you may have overshot the estimates, the next maybe undershoot the estimates. But over the course of the year, it balances out.


Thats not what's been happening since 2022. It's been way off every month.

Not it is not. This person has put a positive bias on every single report.

This is what incompetence looks like.

Trump has this thing about not liking numbers he doesn’t like, election results, crowd sizes, ratings, poll numbers, the price of gasoline, labor statistics.
Do you have a larger point?

Or are you saying this person, who continuously produces shite reports, should keep her job?

I disagree, it's like he gave most people 6 months to do their jobs properly or hit the pavement.

They always have to revise to the negative.

They clearly never collect the data correctly.


How are you seriously standing for this? Do you work in government? Thats the only people that would be happy with such shitty efficiency.



There is going to be a huge downward revision on 2024. Just watch.
