Biden administration overstated Q2 job growth by 1 million: Philadelphia Fed
The Biden administration overstated the number of jobs created in the US during the second quarter by more than 1 million, according to a report issued by the Philadelphia Fed.
The Philadelphia Fed report found that just 10,500 net new jobs were created between March and June.
That finding is in stark contrast to numbers released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, which estimated that there were 1.12 million new jobs added between March and June of 2022.
Economists at the regional central bank in Philadelphia published their own report last week that gleans data from unemployment insurance payments.
