Those numbers are the opposite to what Trump promised. One more example of Trump’s incompetence!The job market since Trump took office - January 2025 thru February 2026
Jobs for Trump's base have been affected negatively more than any sector. The rich are getting richer, though.
Working-class, non-college-educated workers have been particularly impacted, with 361,000 fewer jobs for this group as of late 2025.
Key Job Market Details:
Based on early 2026 data, the U.S. economy has experienced net job losses under the second Trump administration, with 92,000 jobs lost in February 2026 alone and a contraction in manufacturing and blue-collar sectors.
These figures show a sharp reversal from the hiring trends seen earlier in the decade, with the economy currently facing a significant slowdown.
- Sector Losses: Manufacturing has lost jobs in 14 of the last 15 months (as of March 2026).
- Working Class Impact: Roughly 361,000 fewer working-class people have jobs since the start of the term.
- Overall Trend: The economy has seen multiple months of net job declines, with 92,000 lost in February 2026 and a revised loss of 17,000 in December 2025.
- Policy & Economic Factors: Job market contraction has been attributed to uncertainty over tariffs, high-interest rates, and a "no-hire, no-fire" sentiment among employers.
Trump mocked Biden’s economy and swore he would take the economy in directions we had never seen before.Those numbers are the opposite to what Trump promise. One more example of Trump’s incompetence!

Firing illegals and deporting them is exactly what we voted for.Trump mocked Biden’s economy and swore he would take the economy in directions we had never seen before.
We didn’t realize he meant downward
Unemployment increased by 92,000 in February in contrast to expectation so job growth. The recession has started.

U.S. payrolls unexpectedly fell by 92,000 in February; unemployment rate rises to 4.4%
Nonfarm payrolls were expected to increase 50,000 in February while the unemployment rate held steady at 4.3%.www.cnbc.com
The U.S. economy lost jobs in February, a month marred by severe winter weather and a strike at a major health care provider, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported Friday.
Nonfarm payrolls fell by 92,000 for the month, compared to the estimate for 50,000 and below the downwardly revised January total of 126,000. February marked the third time in the past five months that payrolls declined, following a sharp revision showing a drop of 17,000 in December.
At the same time, the unemployment rate edged higher to 4.4% as jobs declined across key areas. A broader measure of unemployment that includes discouraged workers and those holding part-time positions for economic reasons moved lower, at 7.9% or 0.2 percentage point below the January level.
Health care, the primary growth driver in payrolls, saw a loss of 28,000 due largely to a strike at Kaiser Permanente that sidelined more than 30,000 workers in Hawaii and California. Though the strike has since been resolved, it occurred during the BLS survey week so it subtracted from the jobs total.
Information services, a sector hit by artificial intelligence-related cuts, also lost jobs, down 11,000 as part of a 12-month trend in which the sector has lost an average of 5,000 per month. Manufacturing saw a loss of 12,000, despite tariffs aimed at reshoring jobs from overseas.
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.
Transportation and warehousing also saw a reduction of 11,000. Social assistance was one of the few sectors posting a gain, up 9,000.
Unemployment is only up for foreigners.Trumps economy is sagging in an election year
Unemployment is up, gas prices are surging
Can Trump still claim you are better off than with Biden?
This is the key. American workers were being replaced. In Canada I am reading stories of jobs going specifically to low wage illegals because the government will give them grants. Jobs such as working at the donut store.
Today's gas prices are breaking my back!!!Trumps economy is sagging in an election year
