There are lifelong dedicated civil servants at the BLS that will sound the alarm.

The problem is though that the corporate media will make some noise for a month or two and then stop caring about it. They'll just go back to reporting the data like it's valid somehow, even when it's absolutely ridiculously made up. I can see FOX News now, "Unemployment hits 0.2% while Trump adds 1 Million jobs to the economy for the 15th month in a row. Wages are $100 an hour while inflation sits at 0.0%." The numbers will be useless and the private firms doing them just don't have the pedigree to lead the effort.
