Hiring slowdown continues in 1st jobs report since Trump fired commissioner

A weak jobs report last month showed a sharp hiring slowdown.

Fresh jobs data on Friday showed a continued hiring slowdown in the first such release since a dismal jobs report last month prompted President Donald Trump to fire the top official tasked with compiling labor statistics. The reading fell well short of economists' expectations.

The U.S. added 22,000 jobs in August, according to data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. That figure showed a sharp decrease from 79,000 jobs added in the previous month. The unemployment rate ticked up to 4.3%, but it remained at a historically low level.

A previous jobs report showed a sharp slowdown of hiring over the summer, eliciting concern among some economists about a possible recession.

The U.S. added an average of about 28,000 jobs over three months ending in July, which marked a major cooldown from the roughly 196,000 jobs added on average over the previous three-month period, U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) data showed.

The jobs report on Friday included a downward revision for the month of June, saying the U.S. labor market had lost 13,000 jobs that month, much lower than a previous estimate of 14,000 jobs added. It marked the first monthly job loss since December 2020.

Thousands of government workers are fired and illegals deported drop the job numbers on the short term Thats a good thing. Long term jobs will increase real jobs

Trump will fire everyone now and take over the job himself.

As a conservative, I support firing every BLS chief until they give us pretty numbers.

You are wrong because the ADP private sector report showed slowed growth as well, plus those gringos who were supposed to fill the empty jobs left by illegal immigrants are not taking them so you’re just trying to find an excuse. .

30 minutes ago — Trump continued to cast doubt on BLS data on Thursday, saying that “real” jobs numbers will come next year. “They come out tomorrow, but the real job numbers will come next year".

Trump is SOOOOOOOOOOOO........................ Delusional.

Because of a potential interest rate cut.

Because of a potential interest rate cut.

Nah, that was baked in last week.

BTW....4.6% to 5% is considered full employment in the US.....Or are you trying to change the definition?

Its going to take time to replace the useless government jobs and illegal jobs but it will happen. We are in a transition from debt based government spending Bidenomics to a wealth based private sector economy. Obama had 8 years Biden had 4 to dig us in the hole of government debt. It will take Trump one year to dig us out

No the tariffs will pay off the deficit in 2 years. This is still the Biden economy Trump is stuck with that for 1 year

Not at all. I said unemployment rose. Biden had three years of full employment.

Padded by 25-50% of .gov (fed/state/local) jobs funded by grift money.

Many on the fed level are now being eliminated and not back-filled.

Virginia saw it's unemployment numbers go up mostly due to fed .gov firings/lay-offs....That's a good thing....Well, as long as they moved away.
