Could you explain? What about this report pushes you toward not believing the numbers?

It's more the messenger than the message. Or in this case the people funding and staffing the messenger, and who desperately need this number to be as low as possible.

The current administration fires people leading BLS when it reports numbers they don't like, regardless of the merit of the numbers.

It’s not this report specifically but the other stuff the admin has done with the BLS.

Not so much THIS report, but you can't trust any data that the Trump administration puts out after all the blantant corruption. Remember the Sharpie on the hurricane chart?
