I remember Obummer doing the same thing back in the day. Unemployment numbers started soaring so they decided to fudge how the numbers were tracked. Think it was something like if you hadn't been looking for a job after 3 months, you wouldn't count anymore towards the unemployment rate, even if you didn't have a job. Think it dropped somewhere from the high 20s or 30s percentile down to single digits once they implemented that.
I yelled all of 2023 and 24 that the sky was falling and was always told it's fine, the numbers are good. I go to 100 different companies a year, I see it and they tell me they are laying off. My managers only believe what their bosses tell them.
Because the job numbers aren't based on actual jobs created or that even exist.
They basically look at how many people have moved into a new area recently and then make an assumption that if you just moved in and are a working age adult then you obviously have to have a new job in the area you just started, so.... that implies +1 for job growth. Yay us!!!
So what happens when you take 50,000 people who previously would have been denied entrance to the US, grant them visas, and park them in a small town (like Springfield, OH), with some shiney new phones and a bunch of social security cash? INSANELY GREAT JOB CREATION NUMBERS!!! It' a GOLDEN AGE!
And then you've got an economic slave class you can control, too. It's years before anyone even suspects a problem let alone figures out how you put your thumb on the scale.
The entire administration was a lie.
It's called ... cheating.

Clinton’s also had the number fudging. But who knows how far back it goes.
