The federal government overestimated the number of jobs in the U.S. economy by 818,000 between April 2023 and March 2024, according to data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics released Wednesday, stoking fears of a slowdown in the U.S. economy.

Economists at Goldman Sachs (GS) and Wells Fargo anticipated the government had overestimated job growth by at least 600,000 in that span, while economists at JPMorgan Chase had predicted a lesser decline of 360,000, according to Bloomberg. The downward revision follows a trend of the BLS overestimating the number of nonfarm payroll jobs added, with the cumulative number of new jobs reported in 2023 roughly 1.3 million less than previously thought as of February 2024.

“There’s been a clear pattern of economic data being revised down (worse) in the last several years,” E.J. Antoni, a research fellow at the Heritage Foundation’s Grover M. Hermann Center for the Federal Budget, told the Daily Caller News Foundation. “It is very similar to the onset of the Great Recession, when the BLS was struggling to keep up with rapidly deteriorating economic conditions. Assumptions built into models no longer represented reality, although they may have just a year or two prior. ”

Fears of a slowdown in the U.S. economy surged earlier in August following a disappointing July jobs report that saw unemployment rise to 4.3%, up 0.2% from June.

So far the “adjustment” has erased 880,000 of joe’s and kamala’s pretend job growth.
The DNC is still pretending this hasn’t happened.
Touting the lies of “old numbers.”
Just like they are touting the “old numbers” about polling between kamala and Trump.
Over a week ago, before facts started to come out, kamala was supposedly ahead in polls (that over sampled dems.)
In the last week Trump is ahead even in polls that over sample dems.

For those who keep track, that’s 818,000 lies by Robin Ware/Robert L. Peters/JRB Ware/Pedo Peter/idiot Biden
