(7,405 posts)I have written more than a hundred posts on here over the past couple months explaining my background (professional government statistician who worked on the BLS employment programs at the state level) and why it is 100% clear that BLS data is NOT being manipulated to this point in time. I'm not going to repeat everything because it's clear you're someone who will never listen . Suffice to say, the statisticians at BLS who produce that data are career civil servants (I personally know many of them) and to a person, not a single one will ever manipulate data for political purposes. They will resign first.
It should be obvious to even the most skeptical person that if they were manipulating the data, then we wouldn't have had a month where the US lost jobs and the recent gains would be far above the approximately 20,000 that they have been. Why would you believe they are manipulating the jobs data when they have been absolute garbage?
I guarantee if/when they try to release manipulated data, it will be obvious and numerous whistleblowers will go to the media about it.
How DARE you tell me to open my eyes. You're the one that needs to open your eyes. I know what I am talking about. You don't.
Go ahead and believe what you want. I know the truth. THEY ARE NOT MANIPULATING THE DATA!
