Former President Trump's Baseless Claims on Job Statistics Revision
Former President Donald Trump baselessly claimed that the Harris/Biden administration manipulated job statistics, but there is no evidence to support his claims. The Bureau of Labor Statistics announced a downward revision in job numbers, which is a routine process. The revision is larger than average but not unprecedented.
