“The CES showed a year-over-year decline in manufacturing employment as of June of 102,000. However, the QCEW showed a drop in manufacturing employment of 208,000, 1.6 percent of employment in the sector.”
“It also is worth noting that the overall employment picture may be somewhat worse than the monthly CES has been showing. The CES showed a year-over-year job gain of 1,534,000 jobs as of June. The QCEW showed a gain of just 420,000 jobs. “
Basically a very nice way of saying manufacturing is in the shitter and don’t trust government data

Even if you believe trump is using tariffs as a way to boost domestic manufacturing; I fear he’s using dated medicine for modern illness. It would have been effective in a pre-globalized world (incidentally, thats also thelast time they were really considered a tool in the economic toolbox) but now there are just too many alternate markets and supply chains; so he’s is doing is isolating the US.
