ZeroHedge is making a mountain out of a mole hill, which is what they do...

The Bureau of Labor Statistic addressed the issue when the NYT's questioned it:

Emily Liddel, an associate commissioner at the Bureau of Labor Statistics, said the agency tries to be responsive to users and to answer technical questions.

“We allow employees to speak directly with interested parties in order to match up the experts with the people who are trying to understand the data,” she said.

The email controversy, Ms. Liddel said, “caused no small amount of embarrassment” and will lead to more training and a review of policies on information disclosure.

“There are bureauwide efforts to re-emphasize the importance of making sure that everyone has equitable access to the data,” she said.

In short, nothing much there. An employee seems to have created a subgroup of contacts and sent them an email believing she was clarifying a data anomaly but instead caused confusion.

Reminder: ZeroHedge is rated "CONSPIRACY-PSEDOSCIENCE" for "the promotion of false/misleading/debunked information that routinely denigrates the left" for a reason.
