Bureau of Labor Statistics revision tables/documentation showing the initial releases and the current estimates that together produce a net overstatement of 1.9 million jobs for the specified two-year period.
Evidence shows large BLS downward benchmark and monthly revisions reduced reported job gains during 2023–2025 by several large amounts (e.g., an 818,000 preliminary downward revision in Aug 2024 for March 2024 and a preliminary -898,000 revision to the March 2025 level announced in the Jan 2026 release, plus subsequent monthly downward revisions). However, I cannot find an official BLS figure that specifically states "job growth over Biden’s final two years was overstated by 1.9 million jobs" as the Bureau’s published breakdowns do not present a single consolidated "final two years of Biden" overstatement number. The White House’s 1.9 million claim appears to be a summary calculation comparing earlier published series to the current post-benchmark series for a 24‑month span, but I could not verify the exact months and methodology they used from BLS publications or an independent authoritative source. Because the claim depends on specific start/end months and on summing many monthly revisions (including benchmark and post‑benchmark changes), and no authoritative BLS statement giving 1.9 million for “Biden’s final two years” is available, the claim is not verifiable as stated. Verdict: Unclear — the underlying BLS revisions are real and large, but the exact 1.9 million figure for “Biden’s final two years” is not directly supported by a single BLS statement or clear public calculation I can find.
