Just before November’s midterm election, the Biden administration put out a rosy report about how great the jobs report was. Turns out he lied by a whopping one million more jobs than were actually created.
Biden’s Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that over a million jobs were created in the second quarter. Yeah, looks like “nope” is the real truth. Every job Biden said he created is a fiction.
The Philadelphia Federal Reserve is finally correcting the record, according to the Washington Times.
The Biden administration vastly overstated its estimate that employers created more than 1 million jobs in the second quarter of this year, claiming historic job growth when in fact hiring had stalled, according to a new estimate.
Job growth was “essentially flat” in the second quarter with only 10,500 jobs added, the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia said.
“Flat” meaning essentially no net new jobs were created.
None.
Republican Sen. Rick Scott of Florida called the updated information “outrageous.”
“Wrong by a million jobs,” Mr. Sscott tweeted. “@JoeBiden’s admin has been lying to the American people about our economy to prop up his failed agenda & I won’t stand for it. I’m requesting an immediate meeting with the head of @BLS_gov. WE NEED ANSWERS NOW!”

We know the answers. They lied to help boost their electoral gains during the election.
It really is just that simple.
