"And today Trump and his allies are being dishonest about jobs data

A preliminary revision to jobs data is 1) normal, 2) preliminary and 3) not a sign that data is being manipulated.

In a massive scandal, the Trump administration was caught fraudulently manipulating job statistics in August 2019 to hide the true extent of the economic ruin it had inflicted upon America. Data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics released at that point showed that the administration padded the numbers with an extra 501,000 jobs that do not exist, and never did.

That, at least, is how Donald Trump would describe the scheduled revision of employment numbers released during his presidency were he being consistent with how he characterized a similar revision published on Wednesday. The reality is that there was no scandal under Trump and none now under President Joe Biden. Just a data-centered government agency doing its best to accurately represent the state of the economy."
