>Manufacturing payrolls fell for the fourth straight month in August, slipping by 12,000 from a month earlier, Bureau of Labor Statistics data released Friday showed.
I’m confused, is this the strongest economy ever like Donnie Jon keeps telling me?
That is an absurd headline given the information in the article.
“Trump’s factory boom stalled for now” implies that there is a boom that is only temporarily paused.
The article shows the reality that there is no boom, specifically based on the fact that manufacturing jobs have declined at a consistency not seen since the last time Donald Trump was president.
‘Totally made up thing isn’t happening’ is hardly a newsworthy story, but here we are.
Are we still working with the character limit? Sometimes I feel it’s unnecessary. Like now for instance.
Over the last 3 months:
Manufacturing: -31,000 jobs
Mining: -13,000 jobs
Construction: -10,000 jobs
Unemployment: UP
June jobs report revised: NEGATIVE
On Biden’s watch, almost 800,000 manufacturing jobs were created.
On Trump’s first watch, 178,000 manufacturing jobs were destroyed.
Just eight months into Trump’s second disastrous watch, another 75,000 manufacturing jobs are already gone.
Republicans are job-killers.
Nobody is gonna build a factory stateside unless it’s more profitable to build it here vs India, China, Vietnam, Philippines, Brazil, etc.
The US would need 500% tariffs to meaningfully bring back manufacturing but then most Americans wouldn’t be able to afford anything.
