I’m no trump supporter but where were these articles and comments by Powell during the Biden presidency when the BLS was constantly revising job numbers downward after the fact? In 2024 they revised numbers over 800,000 jobs downward (coincidentally, also comes out to a bit over 60k jobs a month) The reason for that is that BLS issues “preliminary” job numbers that they then later updated as more information becomes available. Isn’t that possible, and some may argue likely, the same thing happening here?

There is no evidence that the Biden admin was purposefully changing the numbers. As you said they are constantly revised. Powell is (apparently) seeing evidence that the numbers are being changed by the current admin, not just revised
