Manufacturing jobs decline in 2025

[Meister]

Manufacturing investment at 300% of the pre-COVID baseline is not merely because Biden reopened Trump’s closed economy.

Please tell us what policies Biden set into motion for such growth?
Come on, you can do it.

Facts wont matter to his cultist supporters but independent swing voters are abandoning the ship. If you wanted to ruin the economy you’d do exactly what Trump is doing. He is a Russian assets even if it’s by accident and incompetence.

Your feelings huh Gator......I think it's neat you associate the term exactly with your feelings and desires.

Trump has gained 9 points lately. But don't let facts get in the way.

Weird. The manufacturing company I work for has been on a huge hiring spree and has mandatory over time.

It is not what one manufacturing plant does. It is what all manufacturing does in aggregate.
I am sure you realize that.

That's a policy?
That isn't sustainable with the debt accumulation with the revenue needed, it would drive up
inflation/interest rates considerably. from your link:
"However, with the combined costs of the administration’s “Modern Supply-Side Economics policy framework” likely topping four trillion dollars, even Washington’s wealthiest allies and partners will have trouble matching its scope."

Now keep it real.

Congrats, you DOGEd American manufacturing and reversed those expensive policies, now American manufacturing jobs and investment are in free fall. Job well done.

Typical socialist response.
So debt is good, right?
Are you serious?
Yeah, yeah you are serious.

New jobs report today confirms Trump is strangling manufacturing.

New jobs report today confirms Trump is strangling manufacturing.

Weren't the tariffs going to bring back manufacturing jobs? According to today's jobs report, manufacturing jobs have not grown for 9 months.

AI Overview

The statement refers to the fact that the U.S. manufacturing sector has been in a period of contraction for nine consecutive months as of November 2025, according to the Institute for Supply Management (ISM). This indicates a decline in activity, including new orders and employment, rather than growth.

Add another broken promise to the list.

Yep, still in decline after a year, but there's hope for the future with all those companies that have committed to be built, maybe. If they hold out for 3 years you can forget it.

72,000 lost manufacturing jobs since April

'Tariffs Haven't Helped': 72,000 Manufacturing Jobs—and Counting—Obliterated Since Trump's Liberation Day | Common Dreams

President Trump's promises of a manufacturing revival have fallen flat, with job losses and higher costs for American families. Are his constantly changing tariffs really helping the economy, or just causing chaos?

Construction is taking a big hit in certain areas and it's hurting economies.

It won't be long before all the legal immigrants are deported to really hit the economy, just like I posted last year.

Manufacturing jobs decline in 2025. Trump's claims of bringing manufacturing jobs back to US is not happening in 2025. Trump's actions are part of the reason of losing manufacturing jobs.

In 2025, the U.S. economy experienced a net loss of manufacturing jobs, with estimates ranging from approximately 49,000 to 63,000 jobs lost since the beginning of the year, according to data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) through November 2025.
Key points regarding the manufacturing job numbers in 2025:

• Overall Trend: The sector has seen a general decline in employment throughout the year, especially since April 2025, when "Liberation Day" tariffs were announced.
• Monthly Data: Manufacturing jobs fell for seven consecutive months after April. The data for November 2025 alone showed a loss of 5,000 manufacturing jobs.
• Causes of Decline: Analysts attribute the job losses and stagnation to factors including:
  • Economic uncertainty caused by new tariffs, which raises costs for manufacturers.
  • Investments in labor-saving technologies.
  • A shortage of skilled workers for available positions, despite overall job losses.
• Administration's Perspective: The Trump administration has highlighted significant investment announcements by private companies (such as Stellantis, Whirlpool, and others) as evidence of a manufacturing boom, projecting future job creation.
• Economic Impact: Despite claims that tariffs would boost the industry, the policies have reportedly increased prices for consumers and businesses, with few of the promised job benefits materializing in 2025.

It was the best year because 300000 useless federal jobs were ended and 3 million illegals deported and all new jobs are private jobs and another 32000 government jobs ended. Looking forward it gets better by the month. Useless jobs are lost wealth creating jobs replace them.
A government job costs us money and taxes
Privet jobs create wealth and cost us nothing.
All jobs arent created equal
