HAM72-Jobs Report Under Fire: Why Big Revisions Are Fueling Calls for Change - Hard Asset Money Show
Economist Christian Briggs weighs in on the growing controversy over America’s monthly jobs report after significant downward revisions shook confidence in the data. Drawing parallels to corporate reporting standards, Briggs argues that economic indicators must meet the same accuracy expectations as public companies, especially when Federal Reserve policy hangs in the balance. He discusses the case for moving to a bi-monthly release cycle, upgrading outdated government data systems, and applying modern analytics to better capture the fluid reality of employment trends. The takeaway: without trustworthy numbers, policymakers, businesses, and investors are flying blind.
