President Donald Trump claimed without evidence that the massive revisions to the latest jobs report constituted a “scam.” Yet revisions by the BLS were neither historic nor evidence of corruption.

President Donald Trump on Friday had his team remove the head of the agency that produces the monthly jobs figures, after a weak report showed hiring slowed and was much weaker in April and May than previously reported.

“The revisions are hard evidence,” National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett argued during a Sunday appearance on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” citing what he claimed were “patterns” in the changes that have been made to jobs data in recent years.
