Sen. Rick Scott Demands Answers from Biden-Harris Admin on Repeated Downward Job Revisions

WASHINGTON, D.C. - Today, Senator Rick Scott sent a letter to Erika L. McEntarfer, Commissioner of the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), demanding answers onthe Biden-Harris administration's failed economic policies that have resulted in repeated downward revisions in job growth reporting. In the letter, Senator Scott references the BLS' significant data revisions that show an astonishing 810,000 fewer jobs than originally reported by the Biden-Harris administration. Furthermore, Senator Scott points out that the pattern of unreliable data if inflated jobs numbers, which are quietly revised, is further evidence of the unfortunate downturn the U.S. economy has taken under this administration causing harm on the American people. <_o3a_p>

Senator Scott continued, "So far, job gains have been revised downward for five of six months in 2024 for a total of 340,000 fewer jobs created than initially reported. Similarly, job gains were revised downward for 11 of 12 months in 2023, by a monthly average of 30,000 fewer jobs, totaling 360,000 fewer jobs than initially reported last year. These substantial and continual reporting errors certainly do not inspire confidence."<_o3a_p>
