Biden-appointee, Erika McEntarfer, "coincidentally" overestimated Biden Adm. jobs numbers by over 1.5 MILLION, in Biden's last two years in office.
I'm, sure the brazen mistake was "just an accident"....
IOW- standard Sleazocrat incompetence/corruption...take your pick.
The Biden administration vastly overestimated job growth during its final two years, pro-Trump economist Steve Moore said in a brief presentation from the Oval Office Thursday afternoon as he unveiled new unpublished Census Bureau data.
Moore's findings come amid the backlash President Donald Trump is facing for firing the head of the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), a Biden-era appointee who he has claimed issued "rigged" jobs numbers during the Biden administration to help Democrats.
"I was telling the president that he did the right thing calling for a new head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, because this shows that over the last two years of the Biden administration, the BLS overestimated job creation by 1.5 million jobs. Mr. President that's a gigantic error," Moore said Thursday afternoon in the Oval Office.
Trump quipped in response that it "might not have been an error," noting it may have been due to incompetence instead.
"If it was an error, that would be one thing," Trump added. "I don't think it's an error. I think they did it on purpose."
Just days after announcing the decision to fire Erika McEntarfer, the president accused her of inflating job numbers to an "all-time high" ahead of the 2024 presidential election to help Democrats hold the White House. Trump also claimed that, after he won the election, McEntarfer readjusted the numbers downward to make them look worse.
Trump said the "miscalculations" were some of the most significant in more than 50 years.
