Massive Downward Jobs Revision Reveals The Media Lied About Biden’s Economic Record
Chuck DeVore
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) delivered a body blow to the corporate media industrial complex’s narrative of a robust Biden economy. In its preliminary benchmark revision, the agency slashed its estimate of nonfarm employment growth from March 2024 to March 2025 by a whopping 911,000 jobs — a downward adjustment of 0.6 percent out of 159 million jobs.
Nearly lost in the BLS news report and in the major media is the fact that the revision wipes out half of the new jobs reported through Biden’s last year in office, down from approximately 1.8 million to around 900,000.
This isn’t a minor tweak; it’s proof that the job market was far weaker than the glowing headlines suggested during the Biden administration’s twilight.
For months in 2024, the Biden White House and its major media allies trumpeted “historic” job gains, painting a picture of unbreakable economic strength. They dismissed any skepticism as partisan delusion or conspiracy-mongering. Yet this huge downward revision reveals the truth: The economy wasn’t the powerhouse they claimed. Further, it was cooling well before President Donald Trump took office, with overestimation likely stemming from, at best, systemic errors in BLS surveys and, at worst, partisan bias in what’s supposed to be a neutral arm of the government.
The irony is thick — Biden’s boosters may have talked themselves into complacency, convincing the Federal Reserve that rate cuts weren’t urgent. As inflation lingered and growth sputtered, ordinary Americans paid the price.
