I’m not sure any of that matters anymore now that the Trump administration has been firing people who publish real numbers that The Party doesn’t like.
That’s what makes the dismantling of such important institutions so evil. You simply cannot determine that anymore. It is better to make peace with that unfortunate fact rather than believe lies and made up numbers.

I’ve seen people arguing that the BLS wasn’t a reliable source since 2008.
But I don’t know how you get “I’m confident we have a 25% unemployment rate” from “I don’t trust the numbers”.
Agreed. I wouldn’t make a confident statement like that at all, it’s simply not possible.
