It’s because the economy is not strong and the numbers like CPI, unemployment, and inflation have been manipulated (By manipulating the basket of goods or changing the definition of unemployment) to paint a rosy picture that doesn’t match reality.

Finally the BLS openly publishes figures for all the different unemployment rates, so it doesn't seem like they're trying to hide anything either.
