IMHO It's neither a bump nor a trend it's a reflection of uncertainty with respect to the prospects of how long the peak of this cycle can continue to be extended, it's a roll off of inventory (normal response to recession worries), that coupled with the effects off Donny's extended tit-for-tat "trade war" on manufacturing exports.
The TREND however (as the BLS data shows) is that manufacturing EMPLOYMENT is rising (over the last 9 years) which contradicts the claim made by Nazi Joe.[/QUOTE]
It also contradicts the claim that Trump is responsible for it
