You continue to insist on displaying your lack of knowledge and seem to be proud of it. That report you linked to is NOT from August 4, it's from September 19, and you completely ignored how the same report was delayed a year ago. There is not a single political appointee currently at BLS. They are not manipulating data. And the civil servants will immediately call out any manipulated data they try to release. Quit arguing the point . You are wrong. Funny how not a single major economist in the world has made the claims you are making - I guess they are all just stupid and you know better than every single economist in the world.

You are wrong about everything. BLS HAS NOT CHANGED (or are you arrogant enough to believe you know better than the people actually still working there? They will tell you that you are wrong. And how dare you display a patronizing attitude. It's beyond insulting and offensive. You, a person who knows nothing about BLS, is trying to lecture me about the agency. JUST STOP!!!!! Go ahead and believe what you want to believe. But I'm not going to let you get away with posting misinformation and disinformation without calling it out.

A key MAGA report will have some cooked up numbers saying everything is awesome IronLionZion Oct 1 #1
The BLS report that was going to be released Friday is probably done Johnny2X2X Oct 1 #2

Well, here's a former head of the BLS indicating Trump could impact upcoming reports, regardless of who's commissioner: SunSeeker Oct 1 #13
Nice try. But you failed big time. You'll find that I've never typed a single word in any post here Wiz Imp Oct 1 #15
I did not "fail big time." I did not "fail" at all. You admitted my point. SunSeeker Oct 1 #17
{Sigh} 🙄🥱Ridiculous Wiz Imp Oct 1 #21
"Ridiculous" is thinking we still live in a world where we don't have Trump slandering BLS staffers. SunSeeker Oct 2 #29
maga might easily ignore numbers, but corporations will not, and maga will notice layoffs around them Bernardo de La Paz Oct 2 #33
You failed at your implication of tRump interference. "unless" is a hypothetical, a possibility, nowhere near a fact.nt Bernardo de La Paz Oct 1 #22
Trump has interfered by slandering BLS statisticians. That is why Groshen is worried (her words). SunSeeker Oct 2 #28
We are all worried, but it is important to not cynically assume facts not in evidence. . . . nt Bernardo de La Paz Oct 2 #31
There's plenty of evidence of Trump defaming BLS staff and BLS survey responses dropping off. SunSeeker Oct 2 #36
Declines in survey responses have been happening slowly without tRump. There is no evidence he has accelerated it. Bernardo de La Paz Oct 2 #38
Groshen is not insulting BLS, nor am I. We are pointing out how Trump is harming BLS. SunSeeker Oct 2 #39
It's about time you stated that. . . . nt Bernardo de La Paz Oct 2 #40
It's about time you stopped insulting me....nt SunSeeker Oct 2 #42
Your excerpt indicates NO problem from political influence and MAYBE survey lack of response maybe in the FUTURE. . . nt Bernardo de La Paz Oct 1 #20
Groshen is worried for a reason. I think she knows what she is talking about. SunSeeker Oct 2 #30
Exactly as I stated. She is worried about survey participation, NOT about fudging data or calculations. Bernardo de La Paz Oct 2 #32
You fail to understand Groshen's (and my) point. Participation drops hurt data accuracy. SunSeeker Oct 2 #35
Data inaccuracy due to survey response rates is NOT corruption, NOR is it interference, NOR is it the fault of BLS. Bernardo de La Paz Oct 2 #37
Trump causing response rates to fall is interference. SunSeeker Oct 2 #41

No report coming out of the government with trump's hand picked cronies can be trusted. lostincalifornia Oct 1 #18
There are ZERO hand-picked cronies at BLS. The single one and only political nominee has been withdrawn. Bernardo de La Paz Oct 1 #23
Excuse me Bernardo. He just fired the BLS Commissioner, Erika McEntarfer, because he didn't like lostincalifornia Oct 1 #24
It is a mistake to think that because one person was fired, suddenly all the unfired employees are corrupt Bernardo de La Paz Oct 1 #25
