Joe Biden’s presidency was definitely a disaster. But we’re still learning just how bad it really was.
And a major Biden failure was finally uncovered in this eyebrow-raising report.
The American people have been fed a lie about Joe Biden’s economy, and the truth is finally breaking through. The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) dropped a bombshell on Tuesday, revealing that the U.S. economy added 911,000 fewer jobs from April 2024 to March 2025 than previously claimed. This isn’t just a minor tweak—it’s the largest downward revision in BLS history, exposing the hollow promises of Biden’s alleged economic recovery. The Trump administration is rightfully sounding the alarm, calling for a complete overhaul of the broken system that propped up these false numbers.
“Today, the BLS released the largest downward revision on record proving that President Trump was right: Biden’s economy was a disaster and the BLS is broken,” White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt declared. Her words cut through the fog of Washington’s spin, laying bare the reality that the Biden administration’s job numbers were a mirage, designed to mislead hardworking Americans, businesses, and policymakers who depend on accurate data to make critical decisions.
The scale of this revision is staggering. The BLS admitted to overcounting private sector non-farm jobs by a whopping 880,000 and government jobs by 31,000. Break it down, and the picture gets even uglier: retail trade was inflated by 126,200 jobs, wholesale trade by 110,300, leisure and hospitality by 176,000, professional and business services by 158,000, and manufacturing—crucial to America’s industrial heartland—by 95,000. These aren’t just numbers; they represent real livelihoods, real opportunities, and real economic stability that never existed under Biden’s watch.
President Donald Trump, never one to mince words, has been vindicated by this revelation. For months, he warned that Biden’s economy was a house of cards, propped up by manipulated data and government handouts. The revision proves he was right all along. It’s no wonder Trump took decisive action last month, firing BLS Commissioner Erika McEntarfer for her role in pushing these misleading figures. The American people deserve better than bureaucrats playing political games with their future.
Trump’s response was swift and bold, nominating Heritage Foundation economist E.J. Antoni to replace McEntarfer. Antoni, a sharp critic of government overreach and economic mismanagement, is exactly the kind of leader needed to clean house at the BLS. His appointment, still pending Senate confirmation, promises to restore integrity to an agency that’s lost the trust of the American people. It’s a move that shows Trump’s commitment to putting America first, ensuring data isn’t twisted to serve the elite’s agenda.
“Considering these reports are the foundation of economic forecasts and major policy decisions, there is no room for such a significant and consistent amount of error. It’s imperative for the data to remain accurate, impartial, and never altered for political gain,” Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer stated. Her words strike at the heart of the issue: the BLS, under Biden’s leadership, failed to deliver reliable data, leaving families, businesses, and markets in the dark.
Chavez-DeRemer didn’t stop there. She called out the Biden-era BLS for clinging to outdated methods, saying, “Leaders at the bureau failed to improve their practices during the Biden administration, utilizing outdated methods that rendered a once reliable system completely ineffective and calling into question the motivation behind their inaction.” This isn’t just incompetence—it’s a betrayal of the American people, who deserve transparency from their government.
The fallout from this revision goes beyond just numbers. It paints a d*mning picture of an economy that was faltering under Biden’s policies, propped up by open borders, unchecked spending, and a flood of illegal immigrants filling low-wage jobs. The data confirms what many Americans already felt: the Biden economy was a failure, leaving workers struggling to make ends meet while the establishment tried to sell a story of prosperity.
The Trump administration isn’t just pointing fingers—they’re demanding action. White House Press Secretary Leavitt called out Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, slamming him for dragging his feet on cutting interest rates. “Much like the BLS has failed the American people, so has Jerome ‘Too Late’ Powell – who has officially run out of excuses and must cut the rates now,” she said. Trump has been pushing Powell to ease rates for months, arguing that high rates are choking small businesses and families already crushed by inflation.
This revision also strengthens Trump’s case for shaking up the Federal Reserve. Powell’s refusal to act has kept borrowing costs high, strangling the very businesses and workers Biden claimed to champion. The American people are fed up with a Fed that seems more interested in protecting Wall Street than Main Street. Trump’s vision for a revitalized economy, with lower rates and pro-growth policies, is exactly what’s needed to get America back on track.
The timing of this revision couldn’t be more telling. It covers the final months of Biden’s presidency and the early weeks of Trump’s second term, showing just how weak the economy was when Trump took office. Despite inheriting a mess, Trump is already laying the groundwork for a comeback, focusing on tax cuts, deregulation, and policies that prioritize American workers over globalist interests.
Vice President JD Vance echoed the administration’s frustration, taking to social media to slam the BLS’s “useless” data. “It’s difficult to overstate how useless BLS data had become. A change was necessary to restore confidence,” Vance posted. His blunt assessment resonates with millions of Americans who’ve lost faith in institutions that seem to serve only the elites in Washington and New York.
The BLS’s failures aren’t just a technical glitch—they’re a symptom of a deeper problem. Under Biden, government agencies became tools for pushing narratives, not facts. The massive job overcount fed a false sense of security, masking the struggles of everyday Americans who faced skyrocketing costs and stagnant wages. Trump’s push for reform at the BLS is a step toward dismantling this corrupt system and restoring trust in our institutions.
Economists outside the administration are starting to admit the truth. Heather Long, chief economist at Navy Federal Credit Union, noted that the revision shows “the labor market was weak even before the tariffs kicked in.” This acknowledgment from the establishment only bolsters Trump’s argument: the Biden economy was a disaster, and the American people were misled.
As Trump fights to rebuild an economy that works for all Americans, this BLS revision serves as a wake-up call. The days of bureaucrats fudging numbers to prop up failed policies are over.
With leaders like E.J. Antoni ready to take the helm and a president unafraid to call out the swamp, America is on the path to a stronger, more honest future. The fight for truth in our economic data is just the beginning—Trump’s vision for a Golden Age of America is taking shape, and the American people are ready for it.
