    Don’t like the numbers? Fire someone.

        In his defense they were constantly adjusting the Biden numbers down after announcing.

          Um, how does that defend him?

          The numbers are adjusted all the time, so nothing has changed; he just doesn't like the numbers.

          It's not incompetence on the part of the BLS, it's just how things work. The initial number doesn't include all the data, and once the rest of the info is in, the number may get adjusted.

          Short description of how it works:

          https://www.newsnationnow.com/politics/job-numbers-change-revisions/

          I have no confidence that the jobs numbers will mean anything after a new commissioner is appointed. You don't keep your job in this administration by doing your job. You keep it if you do what the boss wants. Mess with the yarn he is trying to spin and you'll find yourself out.

          They're gonna be cookin' the numbers from now on.

            In your opinion is that a good defense?

              Some Republicans don't think the firing was the best idea.

                  This will increase the confidence of the American people in their government. Or not.

                    Maybe you should learn a bit more about how the BLS works.
