This is a false straw-man argument. I am the one quoting govt. statistics. I have never complained about the unemployment numbers. Every admin uses U3 as the standard, and we have the data for both u3 and u6 going back quite a while.
Now, on a completely separate forum where I have charted unemployment, I did discuss last year the short term effect of census employment on the unemployment figures.
