Stunning new data shows voters were right to question Biden-Harris job numbers

The White House and others kept pointing to jobs figures as proof of the Biden-Harris administration's economic success. But voters intuitively knew better, and they were right.......                    ...                        ...Numerous polls conducted prior to and following You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login show that one of voters' top concerns was the state of the economy. This was especially the case among voters who cast their ballot for Donald Trump.......This phenomenon has puzzled countless supporters of the Biden-Harris administration, who have insisted for years that the United States has enjoyed a booming economy under the leadership of Joe Biden.......For proof, the White House and an endless list of left-wing political pundits have often pointed to employment and unemployment figures as proof for the You are not allowed to view links.

Register or Login of Philadelphia shows that the Biden-Harris administration's Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) overestimated employment in 25 states across the country in the second quarter of 2024. By contrast, the report found that initial employment numbers from BLS were too high in only two states. (The second quarter of 2024 is the most recent period for which the Philadelphia Federal Reserve Bank has updated data.)......According to the Philadelphia Fed, its updated, expanded data reveals second quarter state payroll employment declined by 0.1 percent, suggesting a net jobs loss during that period compared to one year prior.......You are not allowed to view links.

According to the Biden-Harris administration's original numbers, the sum of states' employment figures showed a national increase in employment of 1.8%. The national survey data showed an increase of 1.1%.......The Philadelphia Fed's researchers believe both these figures were wildly wrong.......The Philadelphia Fed believes theYou are not allowed to view links.

That might seem small, but when applied to employment figures in all 50 states, we are talking about overestimating employment nationally by as many as 3 million jobs.......How could the Biden-Harris administration have been off by so much?......You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login......Although it is incredibly difficult to prove, it's reasonable to suspect that the White House might have rigged the employment surveys to make it appear as though the economy was in better shape.......The biggest reason to believe that the White House could have deliberately deceived Americans is that previous employment figures are rarely revised to the extent that the second quarter 2024 numbers will end up being adjusted, according to the Philadelphia Fed's other reports.......For example, the You are not allowed to view links.

The state employment figures reported by the Biden-Harris administration in the second quarter of 2024 appear to be off by more than every other quarter in both years.......You are not allowed to view links.

As I noted previously, this was also the case in the most recent report released by the Philadelphia Fed for the second quarter of 2024.......In other words, over the past three years, when the Biden-Harris administration has dramatically revised its state employment figures, it has most often revised them downward.......Could it be a coincidence that these errors have typically benefited the White House?
