Republican senators led by Roger Marshall request an investigation of a 30% reduction in reported job growth over the past year, revealed in revised BLS figures.

Republican senators, led by Kansas' Roger Marshall, are pressing the Biden administration's Department of Labor for answers regarding a 30% reduction in reported job growth over the past year, revealed in revised figures from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The new data shows 818,000 fewer jobs added than initially reported. The senators argue that an investigation into the reasons behind the large adjustment is necessary, as manipulating numbers for political gain damages public trust and credibility.
