The numbers were super wrong for June and July. It could appear that they were fired for misleading numbers from the previous months.

Which is their goal

What was his actual job description? Was he just the guy putting numbers into an excel sheet? Or was he supposed to enact policy to make these results better? Or was he suppose to portray objective truth? Or is he suppose to make up whatever bullshit makes the government sound like they aren't completely breaking everything? I guess we know which the next guy will be working toward.

"I was just informed that our country's 'Jobs Numbers' are being produced by a Biden appointee, Dr. Erika McEntarfar, the Commissioner of Labor Statistics, who faked the jobs numbers before the election to try and boost Kamala's chances of victory.
This is the same Bureau of Labor Statistics that overstated the jobs growth in March 2024 by approximately 818,000 and, then again, right before the 2024 presidential election, in August and September, by 112,000.

The missing piece here is that you haven't given any explanation or evidence to back this up.

These were records – no one can be that wrong?"
