The jobs revision in August: Trump repeated his false claim that a “whistleblower” was responsible for a downward revision to jobs numbers by the federal Bureau of Labor Statistics, which announced in August that its annual revision of labor data found that the economy added about 818,000 fewer jobs than initially reported for the 12 months ending in March.

William Beach, a conservative economist who was appointed by Trump to lead the Bureau of Labor Statistics, wrote on social media: “For those who think the big revision to the BLS jobs numbers ‘leaked’ and was meant to come out after the election, remember that BLS always announces its draft revisions in August and announced this year’s date, August 21, many months ago. It is important to check your facts.”
