You have completely ignored everything from BLS that completely explains why the data you think is manipulated is no different than benchmark data that has been released for 90 years using the exact same process.

You clearly do not understand the difference between a total universe count and a sample based estimate.

The exact same thing happened last year. From the release on February 2025.
https://www.bls.gov/news.release/archives/empsit_02072025.pdf

The over-the-year change in total nonfarm employment for March 2024 was revised from +2,900,000 to +2,346,000 (seasonally adjusted).

which means that 2023 data was revised downward by 554,000 jobs "2 years later". I'm not sure what your explanation is for Biden blatantly manipulating that data according to your logic.

I''m done.
