U.S. economy added 818,000 fewer jobs than initially reported

A new report just demolished the Democrats and Kamala Harris’ talking points about job creation. There was a downward revision that says the United States added 818,000 LESS jobs than they thought. That’s getting close to a million and it could get worse as new reports come out. Trending Politics reported on the downward revision: 

Figures from the U.S. Labor Department on Wednesday revised the past 12 months’ previous estimates downward by an astounding 818,000 jobs, negating any growth that Vice President Kamala Harris has cited while stumping for another four years in the White House. The change continues a pattern of revisions that have become a hallmark of the administration’s reporting processes: making claims about a glut of new jobs hitting the market to gain favorable media coverage, only to revise those numbers much lower several months later after attention has subsided. Wednesday’s change represents the largest downward adjustment in 15 years

A recent report revealed that the U.S. economy added 818,000 fewer jobs than previously estimated, undermining the job creation claims made by Vice President Kamala Harris and the Democrats. This downward revision reflects a pattern of the current administration frequently adjusting job numbers to create a more favorable economic narrative. This adjustment is noted as the largest in 15 years.
