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.

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

Useless government workers researching cancer and forecasting storms. Those useless govt workers ?

In the Uk employment goes up in the summer as a rule. Seasonal and hospitality jobs help that. Its not always great work but any job is better than no job.

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

Two trillion spent and added to the national debt in two months with Trump and his tariffs.

47 is killing jobs as opposed to Joe Biden who created 7,000,000 jobs.

Bidens jobs were revised down by 30-40% and most of them were government funded by debt leading to massive inflation. Jobs coming back after covid were Trump jobs not Biden jobs. Biden wrecked the economy, wages dropped poverty increased, inflation crushed the middle class, he had no idea what he was doing. Thats why he was removed by his own party

Why do you need Biden to try and make trump look less awful ? Its not really relevant to the current mess trump is making with his disastrous policies.

Trump is an astounding success. As a democrat you cant tell the difference between success and failure

 

[C_Clayton_Jones]

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 killing the messenger clearly hasn’t worked.

I remember 10 years ago or more of stories on government employees partying and renting rooms with hot tubs and just abusing the taxpayer... democrats were outraged as we were too... so what has changed?... TDS.....
