Relax, it’s only the ugliest October layoff number since 2003 (Private jobs)

[Conservative from Georgia]

The statistic measures layoff announcements in October, while federal workers have been furloughed, not laid off, because of the shutdown. So these are private jobs were talking about.

Just yesterday at an event in Miami, Trump said:
“We have the greatest economy right now… you have to talk about job creation…” link

That’s while Challenger is reporting 153,074 announced layoffs in October, the highest October total since 2003, with over 1.09 million job cuts so far this year, the worst since 2020.

As a candidate, Trump literally promised:
“I am going to be the greatest jobs president that God ever created.”

We’re in trouble.

I'm totally relaxed, no issues here. I know from experience that if something is ugly, it must involve a democrap.

“I am going to be the greatest jobs president that God ever created.”

And you believed him?

I didn't.

It's like saying he runs the economy.

You people are fools.

Federal job losses.

Stop pretending you area a conservative, it is embarrassing the board.

Not federal. Private.

It's right there in the OP.

Liar. No layoffs were announced by the federal government in October. Furloughs are not counted in this report.

Trump is a populist. He says what people want to hear. You can find this the world over, idiots going "yeah mate, that sounds amazing" or "Yo, dude, that's freakin' crazy" or "Hombre, me cago en la puta madre".

But the problem with populists is, they get found out... and Trump is getting found out, but he still has millions of people with their heads up their asses.

 

[elektra]

A story from the political elite? You believe Reuters?

"a report by Challenger, Gray & Christmas"

Has anybody ever heard of these clowns? Do we get to see the report they made?

NO

Neat, so trump gets your credit even before he was officially POTUS.
Cherry Picking.

The market was at 44,025 when he took office.
He drove the market DOWN to 37,862 on April 8th.
This YUGE drop was totally on the trump tariffs.
Own it.
Today it is 46,912, as you mentioned.

That is an increase, that's nice, but an increase of ( 46,912-44,025 ) =2,887
2,887/44,025 =0.0656 which is a 6.56% increase.
Quit lying with deceptive numbers.

Sure, it has gone up since trump was elected in Nov 2024.
It also crashed in April while he was POTUS.


So, which numbers are important to YOU?

All I did was present FACTS.


Even trump doesn't want to take credit for the market. It's Bidens Market.

“DOGE Impact” remains the leading reason for job cut announcements in 2025, cited in 293,753
planned layoffs so far this year. This includes direct reductions to the Federal workforce and its
contractors. An additional 20,976 cuts have been attributed to DOGE Downstream Impact, which
reflects the loss of federal funding to private and non-profit entities.

I should of known to go to the link, fond the report, and read it.

The DJIA rose some 1500 points the day after Trump won in 2024.

You do realize markets go up and down all the time. Overall, the DJIA is up over 5000 points since the day after Trump was elected in 2024.

I agree, so what?
I have acknowledged that.

Will you acknowledge that the trump tariffs, caused the market to drop to 36,611.
If you can't fathom that fact, then at least acknowledge that the DOW dropped to 36,611, whatever the cause.

He convinced millions he was anti-elite. Populism is anti-elite at its core.

The greatest con in the history of the country.

He's really exposed how gullible and shallow Americans can be.
