The three most glaring recent examples of such statistical misfires are:
- the Bureau of Labor Statistics' reported overestimate of second quarter job growth by a sizable margin;
- the Census Bureau's population overcounts of blue states and undercounts of red states — in a reapportionment year;
- the apparent disappearance of 50,000 asylum applications from the Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR).
