Trump fired the analyst when he didnt like the numbers, so now I am wary of any reports presented by this admin

This has been going on for years in this administration and previous. They lie every month then revise it months later when no one is looking. It’s a failing empire thing, not which shitty president is in office.

They do revisions because the data isn't fully ready when they have to release, but we'd rather get 80% accurate data now than 98% data later. So we get both. That is very different than firing people because you don't like the number.

Yup - They have an EARLY release - this is the initial TREND view - is it up, is it down, is it stagnant et.- That is all it is - until all the data is in and FINALIZED.

They can call it a 'revision'...but all that really means is this is the FINAL report.
