Christian Briggs Examines the Accuracy Crisis Undermining America’s Employment Data
SAN JUAN, PUERTO RICO, November 14, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The Hard Asset Money Show with Christian Briggs Examines the Accuracy Crisis Undermining America’s Employment Data
The August 13, 2025 episode of The Hard Asset Money Show hosted by economist and financial commentator Christian Briggs joins News Nation live to address growing public and institutional concern over the reliability of the U.S. monthly jobs report following multiple major downward revisions.
At the time of the episode’s release, the Bureau of Labor Statistics faced criticism from market analysts and policymakers after recent data corrections revealed job growth had been overstated for consecutive months. Briggs compares the situation to the strict accountability standards imposed on public companies, arguing that economic data should meet the same level of precision and transparency when it directly influences fiscal and monetary policy.
“When you’re a publicly traded company and you get your numbers wrong, the SEC will be all over you,” said Briggs. “So why are we reporting numbers that almost every month have to be redone upward or downward? You must be accurate. People live and die by these numbers, and Fed policy lives and dies by them.”

Briggs explores potential reforms, including transitioning to a bi-monthly release schedule to allow for more comprehensive data verification, modernizing the federal data infrastructure, and applying real-time analytics to better reflect today’s fluid employment landscape. He emphasizes that reliable economic metrics are essential to ensure policy decisions—from rate adjustments to stimulus measures—are grounded in reality rather than flawed assumptions.
“The entire economy depends on these numbers,” Briggs added. “When policymakers, investors, and businesses are forced to act on data that later proves inaccurate, the cost to public trust and market stability is immense.”
The episode concludes by highlighting the broader implications for Federal Reserve policy, emphasizing how revised job figures can distort projections for inflation, growth, and long-term interest rate guidance.
