- riffraff 6y agoThe default state is that statistics bureaus can be trusted to report mostly correct numbers even if they spin them (e.g. report employment vs unemployment according to what's better). So if someone says "they are fake numbers" they should be ready to corroborate that with evidence, it's not on the people who believe the institutions to prove that they are correct.

- koheripbal 6y agoI think you have the burden of evidence backwards. The DoL has provided data in the report and has a good reputation. If you think the data is wrong or deceptive, then you need to provide evidence of that.
