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

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

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

		It's unfortunately not limited to the current administration. We've had the government telling us to not trust our lying eyes about inflation at least since the Biden administration. At the time government officials were reassuring everyone that there wasn't inflation while everyone could see the prices going up everywhere.

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?
