Oops: Biden Admin Admits 800,000 Jobs It Took Credit For Don’t Exist

Share

The Biden-Harris administration admitted on Wednesday that more than 800,000 of the jobs it claimed to have created last year don’t exist.

An annual revision by the Bureau of Labor Statistics revealed that the U.S. economy added 818,000 fewer jobs from March 2023 to March 2024 than originally reported. According to CNBC, “the actual job growth was nearly 30% less than the initially reported 2.9 million from April 2023 through March of this year.”

“The revision to the total payrolls level of -0.5% is the largest since 2009,” the report reads.

This review of Wednesday’s figures found that “[a]t the sector level, the biggest downward revision” came in “professional and business service,” in which “job growth was 358,000 less than initially reported.” The manufacturing; trade (including retail positions), transportation and utilities; and leisure and hospitality sectors also saw downward revisions.

Wednesday’s revisions are not an anomaly, however. The Biden-Harris administration has regularly overestimated job growth in recent years, only to later revise those totals downward in the months that followed.

Last year, for example, “the government … overestimated the job growth for the 12-month period ending March 2023 by 306,000,” according to Forbes. A December 2022 analysis by the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia estimated that the administration overstated the number of jobs created during that year’s second quarter by more than one million, The National Desk reported.

Meanwhile, the feds “underestimated job growth [in August 2019] for the period ending March 2022 by 462,000,” according to Forbes.

The revised 2023-2024 job numbers are more bad news for American workers and consumers, who are already grappling with high costs of living produced by the administration’s “Bidenomics” policies.

Despite regime-approved media’s claims to the contrary, government-induced inflation has resulted in Americans paying more for everyday necessities such as groceries and electricity. As my colleague Jordan Boyd recently noted, “Basic goods and services cost at least 20 percent more now than they did when Biden and Harris first entered the White House.”
