A new economic report shocked social media users on Wednesday. The U.S. gained 818,000 fewer jobs than initially reported.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics revised their numbers. They discovered over 800,000 jobs reported in March never existed. X users reacted strongly, with many blaming the Biden/Harris administration. They accused them of pushing policies that weakened the economy and then misrepresenting the numbers.
"818,000 jobs that the Biden Harris White House claimed they ‘created’ DO NOT EXIST," conservative journalist Nick Sortor tweeted.
The report's revision is the largest since 2009. It suggests the labor market weakened earlier than thought.
LPL Financial chief economist Jeffrey Roach commented, "The labor market appears weaker than originally reported. A deteriorating labor market will allow the Fed to highlight both sides of the dual mandate."
Former President Trump criticized the Biden/Harris administration on Truth Social. He accused them of manipulating job statistics to cover up economic damage. "MASSIVE SCANDAL!" he wrote, warning voters about Harris 2024.
Trump added, "If Comrade Kamala gets another four years, millions more jobs will vanish overnight, and inflation will completely destroy our country."
