President Donald Trump claimed without evidence that the massive revisions to the latest jobs report constituted a “scam.” Yet revisions by the BLS were neither historic nor evidence of corruption.

“The revisions are hard evidence,” National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett argued during a Sunday appearance on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” citing what he claimed were “patterns” in the changes that have been made to jobs data in recent years.

In firing the head of the agency that produces monthly jobs figures, President Donald Trump alleged that the recent weaker-than-expected numbers were phony and that positive numbers reported before the 2024 election were manipulated to make him look bad.
