Americans needing 2 or more jobs spike under Trump to record levels

[citygator]

There is NOTHING Trump can do in two months to cause people to have to run out and grab a second job. NOTHING. By all means, you're free to provide specific examples as to how he precisely caused that, but I have a feeling we'll be waiting awhile. Just more partisan crap.

ARE YOU INSANE?:

• Consumer confidence PLUMMETED under Trump and people have shut down spending causing lower spending in hospitality so tips have plummeted from fewer diners and now waiters are working two jobs.
• Travel to the US plummeted last month as Trump gave the middle finger to the world. Anyone trying to make a living in travel spots are picking up second jobs.
• Construction has stalled as cost inputs are rising in the spot market. If you were in construction you have picked up a second job to make up the income shortfall from hour cuts.
• Government job cuts have fired employes out hustling 2 jobs to replace that income. They cut many American and Vets from the payrolls.

None of those figures could possibly be created reliably in the current timeframe.

Nothing but projection and conjecture.

I have no idea "why" people are taking more second jobs under Trump. The post I responded to suggested it was impossible to impact this early and I clearly showed how that is not true. Any one of those scenarios drove people to get a second job.

You would think it was impossible to wipe out $6 Trillion in wealth in 80 days but Trump did that. He's a magician when it comes to destroying value. Dude bankrupted a casino for God's sake.

Because dems are creating their usual narratives and to hell with any actual connections to reality?

That "wealth" comes back when the market goes up, stop pretending that it's gone.

When the market went into a 2 year trough, did Biden "destroy" that wealth? All those sharp dips between 2022 and 2024. Where were you bitching about destroyed wealth then?

Your own chart shows the same spikes in 2022 and in 2023 and you weren’t blaming Biden for any of those. This has been a pattern going on for years and I already agreed with you that Trump is not helping matters. I’m not discussing this with you any further.

Covid caused that dip. Just like Tariffs are causing this one. Covid eventually ended.... this tariff thing has no ending date and has a president swearing they'll live on forever... If these tariffs stay this is your new baseline to build on.

In 2022 and 2024?

Really?

LOL. That's when even the biggest panicky idiots were ending their restrictions.

I dont think you run a business. It is evident in your analysis. Restrictions have nothing to do with business. We had serious supply issues and supply chain bottlenecks that lasted all of 2022 and most of 2023. Then in late 2023 and 2024 the markets broke records once supply chains healed and product was flowing.

In Trump's America jobs are so plentiful that more people than ever are working two or more jobs at a time. This is higher than any other time since we started tracking in 1994. Higher than the great recession.

I am so tired of all the winning! I remember how much the right was concerned about the lower numbers under Biden of multiple job holders so I cant imagine the pain they are feeling now about the economy as it has become even worse for working Americans.

For more and more US adults in the current economy, it seems like one job is just no longer enough.

According to Friday’s job report, the number of multiple jobholders in the US surged to a record 8.9 million in February, the highest since data tracking began in 1994. That’s 5.4% of all employed workers — a level last seen in April 2009.

Your graph clearly shows how the numbers started going up under the xiden regime

Frankly I am glad you posted it, it really shows how that trend really went flying up as the xiden years went by

Glad you asked for more detail. When Biden left it was at the same level as Trump's historic economy prior to covid. Only since Trump 2.0 did it spike above that level.

Yes I saw it, like I said this trend started under xiden. Frankly I really don’t see the problem with it, jobs are available for those that want to work.

 

[P@triot]

He's been president in 4 months.

No son, he hasn’t. He was sworn in January 20th. That is far from a month

That's 4 months.

Only if you can’t do basic math

We are almost halfway through this month

“Almost…half way”

So nowhere near a month!

and he was president for about a third of January.

“About” 1/3rd (so again, nowhere near an actual month)

 

[P@triot]

Regardless, this spiked when consumer confidence plummeted when he announced his tariff strategy... Just like the stock market... you want to pin this shit stock market on Biden too? Didnt think so.

Do I want to “pin” President Trump’s astounding success on “Biden”? No. No, I do not

 

[Clipper]

This is ridiculous... Trump has only been president for a few months... LMAO I knew this was coming...

Where's your lardass Dear Leader this weekend, Ace? Headed to Florida to play golf, the 10th weekend since he became felon 47. That's how concerned that lazy fat **** is about the issues facing us. Lining his pockets off golfing outings in Florida.

 

[initforme]

Working 2 jobs should be prohibited.

 

[initforme]

Meh, I had two jobs during much of my work life. I'm not seeing the big deal here.

Those are the industrious types that end-up making something of themselves, even those with limited education.

The question should be.....Why does the OP hate those trying to do good for them and theirs?

If it takes 2 jobs to make it something is very wrong with the nation.

They were at all-time lows under Biden. Maybe you cant read a chart?

Yeah we can. I was 6.5 under Clinton, A full point higher than your claim that under Trump it's "higher than any other time in history."

Question is whether you are a liar or a moron that can't look at the simple chart that you posted yourself.
