John Crudele has been reporting on fraud<\/a> in the Census Bureau<\/a> for the past six months. His work has been posted at The New York Post<\/a> website. His latest story<\/a> deals with data on unemployment and inflation being falsified<\/a> by a data collector<\/a> named Julius Buckmon.<\/p>\n

The article in the New York Post explains how this false data impacts the reports we hear on the news:<\/p>\n

Because the Census Bureau\u2019s surveys are scientific \u2014 meaning each answer, in the case of the jobless survey, carries the weight of about 5,000 households \u2014 Buckmon\u2019s actions alone would have given inaccurate readings on the economic health of 500,000 families.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Buckmon alleged that he was told to fudge the data by higher-ups. There was no formal probe back then into what Buckmon was doing or what he was alleging, although a Census investigator \u2014 who is now under indictment for other crimes against the bureau \u2014 did question a few people.<\/strong><\/p>\n

A source told me from the start of my investigation last October that Buckmon\u2019s actions weren\u2019t isolated and that falsification continued in the Philadelphia<\/a> office right through the 2012 presidential election<\/a>, only stopping when I exposed the practice last fall.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is not acceptable. Mr. Crudele also reports that some of the people who work for the Census Bureau are talking to the Office of Inspector General<\/a> (OIG) and the House Oversight Committee<\/a> about their allegations. The OIG, Oversight Committee and several others will be investigating the claims of these workers.<\/p>\n

The story in the New York Post goes on to explain exactly how the fraud is taking place. Please follow the link to the article to learn more about how the numbers in the jobs report are being falsified.<\/p>\n
