Trump accused the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) of manipulating job data to damage his image after unsatisfactory job numbers were released. He fired the BLS head and suggested that previous job counts were intentionally inflated. Economist Steve Moore, however, presented data indicating that over the last two years, BLS may have overestimated job creation by 1.5 million jobs, suggesting incompetence or potential intentional discrepancies in job reporting. Moore's claims painted a contrasting and optimistic view of the economy compared to Trump's accusations of 'rigged' data.
Moore emphasized that the Bureau of Labor Statistics overestimated job creation by 1.5 million jobs over the last two years of the Biden administration, questioning whether it was a purposeful error.
Trump accused Dr. Erika McEntarfer of rigging jobs data to make him look bad, referencing the downward revision of job numbers after the July report.
