BREAKING:
Jobs report shows a MAJOR SLOWDOWN in labor market since Trump announced tariffs in April.
We can now compare the first 6 months of Trump with the final 6 months of Biden, and it's no comparison.
Over a million jobs created under Biden, less than half that under Trump.

US employers added just 73,000 #jobs last month as #labor market weakens in face of #Trump #trade wars
US employers added just 73k jobs last month & #Labor Dept revisions showed that hiring was much weaker than previously reported in May & June. The #unemployment rate ticked up to 4.2%.
The Labor Dept reported Friday that revisions shaved a stunning 258,000 jobs off May & June payrolls.
The unexpectedly weak report raises questions about the health of the job market & the #economy as #Trump pushes forward with a radical & erratic overhaul of American #trade #policy, imposing hefty #tariffs on imports from almost every country on earth.
The #unemployment rate ticked up to 4.2% last month from 4.1% in June. The number of people in the #labor force – those working & looking for work – fell modestly last month, & the ranks of the unemployed rose by 221,000.
Manufacturers cut 11,000 #jobs last month after shedding 15,000 in June & 11,000 in May. The #FederalGovernment, where #employment has been targeted by the #Trump admin, lost 12,000 jobs. Jobs in administration & support fell by nearly 20,000.
Healthcare companies added 55,400 jobs last month – accounting for 76% of the jobs added in July & offering another sign that recent job gains have been narrowly concentrated.
The #StockMarket tumbled on the news.
The current situation is a sharp reversal from the hiring boom of just 3 years ago when desperate employers were handing out signing bonuses & introducing perks such as Fridays off, fertility benefits & even pet insurance to recruit & keep workers.
Weighing on the #labor market are the lingering effects of higher #InterestRates that were used by the #FederalReserve to fight #inflation; Trump’s massive import taxes & the costs & uncertainty they are imposing on businesses; & an anticipated drop in foreign #workers as Trump’s massive #deportation plans move forward.
I lost my job without warning about 2.5 months ago. I've been applying to every single job in my industry that I'm qualified for that's been posted within a 70 mile radius and I've had a single interview so far. Some weeks I've not been able to find any new jobs to apply for! This job market *sucks*
Fortunately one of my old workplaces brought me back part time as a contractor and they've been handing me more and more work so I've been ramping up my hours there over the past two months and I'm finally up to an amount of hours where I can coast for a while and maybe actually splurge some too. No benefits and I'll be the first to go if they decide that they need to shed labor again, but it could be a lot worse!
