Trump Effect: Private Employers Added Just 77,000 Jobs In February, Far Below Expectations

[struth]

How much did Republicans have to give Egg producers to lower the prices and stop making them look bad?

Late last month, Rollins announced that the Department of Agriculture would spend $1 billion to lower egg prices

You care so much about the debt right? We just spent $1 billion dollars to get egg prices back to where they were on Biden's watch. Great job!

None
Yes that was to do what Xiden wouldn't do, that is combat the avian flu.

I do care about the debt, and not spending the money to do basic things like deal with the avian flu only add more to the debt, because people lose their jobs, livihoods, and can't afford food...cheaper in the long run to spend the money to deal with the flu, then deal with the fall out from the epidemic.

Now you get it. Funny you are clueless when it suits you.

Yes, Biden spent his way out of Trump's recession too. And you complained. But Biden did infrastructure spending. He didn't just give egg producers a billion dollars to buy them a couple months.

Truly pathetic. Trumpf and you.

what are you talking about? Xiden spent money that had nothing to do with a recession.

Trump didn't give egg producers money. The money was for the Dept of Ag to deal with the flu moving forward

Trumps Dept. of Ag no?

Talk about being a ******* Republican hypocrite. Having the government subsodize manufacturers because inflation is hurting his poll numbers?

Sounds pretty socialist to me.

Yes the USDA isn’t egg producers

But this egg problem only became a BIG problem when Trump first got into office.

The most recent reports of significant kills occurring in January 2025. As of February 2025, over 148 million birds have been euthanized.

Remember your first response was "it's not Trump's fault". But we don't care. It wasn't Biden's fault either remember? Remember inflation happened all over the globe. In fact it happened the LEAST here in the USA. Did you give Biden credit for that?

Egg prices were up 10.4% in February 1025. That's better than the surge in January 2025, when egg prices were up 15.2%. Year-over-year, egg prices increased 58.8% last month.

Now even Trump's DOJ knows those egg producers were gouging us. They probably didn't think Trump would do anything about it. Doing something about it was something Kamala promised. Well now egg prices are hurting Trump's approval ratings so his DOJ is looking into egg producers. Suddenly they lower their prices.

I'm glad Kamala came up with the idea.

Trump is socialistic at times, yes.

Excuses. The DOJ basically just admitted the Egg Industry was gouging us. But it was making Trump look bad so they had a talk. And now eggs are only $6 a carton. Nice huh? 50 cents an egg? And you're happy about this?

The Egg industry would have gotten away with it but it was making Trump look bad. Lots of companies will be gouging us now that the consumer protection department has been disbanded. Buyer beware.

hahah you just love making things up....that or you failed in school.

I love that Trump got egg prices down, by fixing the disaster that Xiden and Harris did by completely mishandling the bird flu.

The Egg industry was all but destroyed by Xiden and Harris mishandling of the bird flu, they came in and murdered all their birds. You blaming the farmers, is like nazi's blaming jews for the holocaust...it's sick really

Private sector job creation slowed to a crawl in February, fueling concerns of an economic slowdown, payrolls processing firm ADP reported Wednesday.

Companies added just 77,000 new workers for the month, well off the upwardly revised 186,000 in January and below the 148,000 Dow Jones consensus estimate, according to seasonally adjusted figures from ADP.

The total was the smallest increase since July and comes at a time when worries are rising that economic growth is slowing and worries brew that President Donald Trump’s tariff plans will spark another round of inflation. ADP said annual pay rose 4.7% in February, the same as the prior month.

Stock market futures lost some of their gains following the release while Treasury yields were mixed.

As predicted, a Trump victory is a punch in the face for the US economy.

Even though Trump has accomplished an amazing amount during his 4+ years as president, despite a constant drumbeat of leftwing media negativity, it sure would be helpful if you leftists would root for the home team for once. We should all be behind America right now.

Republicans better hope 2026, 2027 and 2028 go a lot smoother than 2025 has started. 1 quarter almost done and it's a catastophy.

Last night I text my Republican friends "how are the first 100 days going?" Only one replied GREAT with a angry emoji. LOL

 

[SmokeALib]

Well, we know the numbers are even worse for government employees thanks to DOGE boi, now don't we.

Government employees don't count. They are basically welfare recipients.

Stupid MAGAt cultists. Even when they win they lose.

 

[MagicMike]

Comparing developing policies to established policies (which failed) ...

"Developing policies????"
WTF?
Not only have you MAGAt cultists invented your own parallel universe full of alternative (non) facts.....now you're inventing your own language!
GIBBERISH!

Not to mention, Trump is gutting the useless federal workers who provide no value.

Who told you that the federal workers who keep your society functioning are "useless?"
Trump?
A pathological liar, convicted felon, and con man. Not the most reliable source of information.
