Unemployment increased by 92,000 in February

[rightwinger]

Monthly job creation in the U.S. has shown significant volatility recently, with 130,000 jobs added in January 2026, surpassing expectations and marking the strongest gain since December 2024. However, February 2026 saw a sharp reversal, with the economy shedding 92,000 jobs, far below the expected 59,000 gain, according to the latest Labor Department report.

Revisions to prior months have also been substantial. January’s initial payroll gain was revised down from 130,000 to 126,000, and December 2025 was revised from a 48,000 increase to a 17,000 job loss. Over the past two years, cumulative job growth has been revised down by nearly one million due to benchmark adjustments.

Sectoral trends show health care and social assistance driving gains in January (adding 82,000 and 42,000 jobs, respectively), while February saw declines in health care (−28,000), construction (−11,000), and manufacturing (−12,000). Federal government employment has dropped by 11% since October 2024.

The economy reflects decisions made by Trump

It has dropped significantly from the 2024 Biden economy
Trump should have left it alone

Are Democrats in charge of the 5th largest economy in the world?

Yes, they are.

that economy was there long before you assholes ruined the place...lets talk about the quality of life there which has come down greatly for many there the last 30 years or so....talk about how that economy is helping that situation....

The world is much safer. A lot of brown-skilled people have been saved. International terrorism is defanged. Oil returns to its low price in a few weeks after this necessary takedown is over. China is much weakened. Russia as well. Trump says we are at the threshold of an economic boom. He hasn't been wrong yet. Democrats have no answers. They lead us to massive recession rampant crime, and terrorist acts. They're incompetent.

Trump has scoured the deep state government, so that's a good thing. CA has hiked its minimum wage which has led to job losses. AI will require some adjustment and will lead to some job elimination, much as blacksmith and livery stable jobs 100 years ago.

what is a brown skilled person?...

Marxist create uncertainty and costly delay. Obiden judges adding 6 months every decision lost on appeal. That's all this is. Rock bottom is in sight.

Then, things will soar! With a strong foundation. 90 mi ferrys to now Free Cuba for tourism! Shockwaves in CA now light on illegals. Whites and Blacks wokring side by side in OAK again!

11% loss in GOVT workers sounds like over 200,000? That ain't chopped liver. And that's barely a starting point. Wake me up at 500K loss.

Biden gave us stable government.

It is Trump creating uncertainty with constantly fluctuating tariffs, military attacks, disruptions of the labor force

That's right. Decisions made by Trump regime (not all Trump). Sound, good Decisions.

Like not allowing your 16yr old daughter to go off In a Chrysler New Yorker loaded with hooligans Friday night. Sure, there's going to be pain, door slamming. But one less pregnant teen IN THE LONG RUN.

15 months into Trumps second term

Trump raged against the Biden economy and said he would make it better.
He hasn’t

Give it time?

Not encouraging news
92,000 is not a drop in the bucket

Let's face it, we're fucked, as long as the motherphucker in Office stays perched there.

Has Trump laid off those in his personal companies? My hunch is no or the media would blast him.

 

[rightwinger]

Give it time?

Time?
15 months should be showing positive trends not decreases in employment.

Trumps benchmark of performance is Biden’s last year.
That is what Trump must beat.

He is failing

 

[Rawley]

Federal government employment also fell, off 10,000 for the month. President Donald Trump’s efforts to pare federal payrolls has seen a slide of 330,000 jobs, or 11% of the total workforce, since October 2024, a few months before Trump took office, according to the BLS

Awesome. Keep up the good work President Trump.

 

[MarcATL]

4.3% is still considered full employment.

The roughly 10% of that total being .gov jobs is a good thing.

You can put that hair fire out now OP.

Post the unemployment rate when Biden left Office.

Then state what you were saying about the subject then hack.

Why would you care? Your GOVT check shows up no matter how manyjobs lost

You don't work anyways? Probably never had a job over $24/hr in your entire "career" lol!

You could look it up? Probably 4.3% nearly the same as now 4.4%? Get off the boards Malcom.

Battery going. I'll check back in when Cuba falls and I'll take the Ferry over from MIA to get me some cheap hooch.

What the phuck does that have to do w/the horrendous job he's doing on the national economy?
