California Admits All 2023 Job Gains Data Was Faked

California bureaucrats have admitted that the Democrat-controlled state’s data for job gains in 2023 had been fabricated.
In the past year, Democrat President Joe Biden’s administration has repeatedly been accused of faking U.S. labor market data to make the “Bidenomics” economy appear stronger than it is.

The real figures won’t be revealed until some time in 2025, well into President Donald Trump’s likely second administration.

The LAO is overseen by the Joint Legislative Budget Committee of the California State Legislature and performs and publishes extensive analyses of the state’s budget in addition to providing fiscal and policy advice to the California Legislature.
