You’re right! How could I forgotten!?! The one and only positive impact Trump has had on the average American’s life was the renaming of the Gulf of America!
Terrible jobs report
- Thread starter dgordo
- Start date
The jobs report would have been far worse, had it not been for Musk’s DOGE Team having to rehire the thousands of people they fired two weeks earlier.
That’s some 3D chess right there!

from CNN • Economists had forecast 160,000 jobs were added in February and that the unemployment rate held at 4%.
Can't even get straight bad news
Your trip to the gas station tells it all. Why do we even need a jobs report!
Torbee, I call it the way I see it. The report is fine, the rest of what they have done has been atrocious.
Wrong.
Try again.
Try spinning this all you want, your post is factually incorrect.

The point is it is all interconnected. The "atrocious" is already impacting the economy and it is highly likely it is going to continue getting worse.
This was - at best - a "meh" jobs report and an indication that the general trend is negative.
So yes, while the kitchen is not on fire at this time, smoke is curling under the door.
For at least the past 4 years, and undoubtedly prior to that, a very large percentage of job growth was government jobs, federal, state, and local. Since federal jobs are being cut instead of added, expectations will need to be changed. Belt tightening is often painful. Hopefully someone will tell Trump that he shouldn't be adding complexity to the equation with most of his tariff threats. Those displaced government workers will need to find private sector jobs. The US definitely needs to emphasize value added jobs, particularly manufacturing jobs. As for manufacturing jobs, those jobs no longer need to be repetitive manual labor - they can be skilled labor integrating technology in processes.
What's clear is the panic in the WH.
Navarro this morning making excuses and now a Trump news conference coming up shortly where you just know they're blaming EVERYTHING on Biden.

This is utterly FALSE
Federal job numbers have DECLINED since the 1960s, and have been mostly flat for the past decade or more.
It really isn’t all that bad but it is still fun to talk shit about the orange turd.
Give him a break!
He believes what he sees on Fox Opinion Network, aka, Numpty Central.
LOL. I post reports directly from the DoL here all the time. I never believe the headlines.

Less than 2% of total jobs are federal, and it's been declining for YEARS
How many people work for the federal government? | USAFacts
The federal government employs around 3 million people, making it the nation's 15th largest workforce.
usafacts.org
Overall, total jobs numbers have been stable, but as a pct of total, it has declined continuously.
We have the same number of federal employees as 1945.
Wanna guess what the population difference between 1945 and now is? (HINT: It has MORE THAN DOUBLED)
I also saw that February had the most layoffs in a month since the housing collapse in 2009.
So not only are there fewer jobs, there are more people competing for them.

LOFL, you think these numbers won’t be adjusted? Fvcking dipshit
Raw data: Federal government workers - Kevin Drum
Here's the percentage of the workforce employed by the federal government: It dropped from 3.5% of the total workforce in 1955 to 1.4% of the workforce at the end of 1999. Since January 2000 it's increased from 1.44% to 1.49%. Aside from the decennial census blips, employment generally goes up...

Don't forget taxes going up over $1k for those making under $400k... that with the tariffs suck up over $200 per month for the average (less than millionaires) Americans.

But he WANTS to believe it, so it’s true in his mind.
This is the non-shared reality we inhabit now.
I guess the argument that government workers could always go to the private sector and make more money isn’t true.
Was afraid to check the market and wish I hadn’t.You’re right! How could I forgotten!?! The one and only positive impact Trump has had on the average American’s life was the renaming of the Gulf of America!
It’s been widely reported. But I’ll keep posting links to watch you ball wash the administration further.
Sudden shift in jobs data shows workers are struggling to survive Biden-Harris inflation
Has the Biden-Harris White House been cooking the books?

Thank you for the link and confirming my first post that jobs went up the previous 4 years. Isn't that better than LOSING jobs?
Blaming Biden once again for global inflation though the US handled it better than ANYBODY. How about now, smart guy?It’s been widely reported. But I’ll keep posting links to watch you. Ball wash the administration further.

The technical term is "Trump Dump".
American companies are terrified of Trump’s haphazard approach of taking an axe to everything.
Basically, too much/too fast.
Having President Musk so close is just magnifying the problems.
In baseball terms...Trump started on 3rd base and got thrown out at home on a double in the gap.
Dude, we drive the global economy. The US pumped unnecessary dollars into the economy to keep the Covid money train going.
But I’ll concede that that was only minor compared to not getting people back to work sooner by creating supply chain scarcity.
Remember when Republicans were calling 200,000 jobs under Biden not good enough? Mediocre to shit is all we're going to get out of this guy.
You wanted a link for evidence of the massive corrections in the jobs reports. That’s what I confirmed for you. You’re welcome.
That sounds like a one hopper back to the pitcher which ensues trump stuck half way down line and is now caught in a pickle that goes back and forth until he falls on his face for the final out in a 1-0 loss
Or...he hits a broken bat dribbler to ss and gets in a rundown between home and first and is thrown out sliding into home!
Or they could just inflate it by tens of thousands like Biden did many times only to reduce it month's later.
Yes...you confirmed we had job growth. Thanks again!! Have the MAGA day you deserve!
Knowing Trump, it likely is inflated. He can’t give a quote to anyone without being Billions and Billions (higher or lower) than what the actual number is, depending on which direction makes his lapdog base eat it up.
All of us have. He isn't and won't listen. His tariff policy is the number one reason why I have never liked him. Dumb idea that will likely lead to a recession that didn't have to happen. He's an idiot and so are many of his voters. Sorry if you didn't see this coming.
