The only question that is important every month is What is the revised numbers? We received last month's revised but no news orgs or anyone else reports it. We can't measure anything on Trump's initial damage until next month's revised numbers but I'm sure it'll be in the toilet.
We are headed towards a recession. #MeidasMighty please conserve your resources & savings & observe the markets & implications of Donald's various hatchet jobs. There's real possibility of a recession. https://youtu.be/gXxpadPOBSg
I know this will never happen, but I have an idea for creating more jobs. Companies should hire actual people with a pulse to answer calls. Eliminate the robots. Jobs created and folks like me are not so frustrated!
Today Trump got Elon and Putins permission to threaten sanctions on Russia. We all know he says that with a wink and a nod. This is administration is just one entire scam after another. Trump threatening Russia is just like tariffs on Canada. A whole lot of BS. Watch where you step.

Maybe start reporting on the effects that is having on individuals businesses & towns instead of 24x7 trump. Almost 10yrs of trump shoved down our throats has many folks moving away from podcasters that want 2 continue 2 do that.

And it’s a safe bet that fired federal employees aren’t planning vacations. Neither are those working for companies losing federal funding. And exactly who is Trump speaking to when he talks about “turning Gaza into a seaside resort?” You don’t have to be a clinician to realize Trump is a sociopath.
Now Trump is "looking at deporting all Ukrainians"!!!!
That is a total Putin move! If Trump gets mad enough that Canadians I can see him deporting all the Canadians back to Canada and seizing their property. This folks is communism! This is who Trump is! He's had ties to Russia since 1984!
It didn't take a genius, but I knew what was gonna happen if he were elected again. I don't know what everyone else's excuse was, but there are no excuses...
"We've seen this movie before, and the sequel is usually worse..."
And so then in a month, the stock market will go into freefall again and then I guess he’ll just rinse and repeat until we lose our minds completely and take to the streets and then he can enact martial law and then we’re completely fucked.
Previous Trump adminstration regularly over inflated job reports then would have to correct two months later, I expect the same, guessing the actual number is close to or below 0
I don't believe any number in any report released by the government. The fact that the Trump administration released it automatically means it's a lie.
My only thought was how much can we trust this number? Is the press sure that the report has not been manipulated? Just do not trust anything from this admin. Just not sure if the number is real.
The Trump administration wants to change how GDP is calculated and DOGE accessing sensitive government information, statistical agencies are under the microscope. Can we still trust official numbers?
CNN and WaPo make it sound like this was an amazing jobs report. Meanwhile, they shit all over and jobs report in the Biden administration.
Fascist propaganda.
I kinda pay attention to this, and higher or lower, the result it is always unexpected. Except for this month, I figure the economists figure out what will happen and then predict the opposite, so they can get a headline.
It’s my understanding that anything under 250,000 new jobs a month means we are in a slow down and headed absolutely in the wrong direction. We are headed for another recession.
McConnell spoke six daz after the Democratic-led House impeached Trump on charges of inciting the 1/6attack A Senate trial on whether to convict Trump and perhaps bar him from holding office After years of supporting Trump with little criticism of him McConnell said hes not decided mitch put us here
"...more people are re-entering the job market only to find fewer opportunities than expected." Gosh, I wonder what previously employed group of people that could be. Besides the other layoffs also happening simultaneously, of course.
Honestly this is entirely sabotage in order to help oligarchs buy it cheap (privatize) and help Putin - who has already bought trump and in some form or another at least half of Congress. (Not to mention all of the appointments trump has made.
Can you guys find just one person with some authority who is speaking about what needs to happen to remove trump? Abstract, hypothetical, whatever. People need to have some hope that this regime can be ended - that we're not just waiting to die from hunger, disease, natural disaster & war.
There are two ways to remove a president; the legal way, which was tried twice and failed both times during his first term, and will fail again as long as there are at least 34 Senators who will support him; and the not-legal way, which also failed at least twice during the campaign.
Why the surprise? There were a number of voices prior to the election that warned Trump’s economic policies could lead to a depression or recession as early as July 2025. Trump didn’t address this concern directly. He just repeated he loved tariffs. And here we are.
You can bet that job numbers will continue to decline under the Trump regime. They don’t care about the working class. They only care about their own bank accounts. As long as they are making money, screw everyone else. That’s their motto.
I don't believe anything coming out of this administration. My child is still fighting for disability from Long Covid because he refused to test people for it when we had it. I still can't smell or taste anything. FDT
I heard it included 10k , but many more than that have lost jobs. Not sure we can trust the numbers coming from the administration. Hoping there’s alternative reliable source.

Wild how these ultra-rich fuckwits are governing as if the public is a singular disappointing black sheep of the family who needs to be cut off from the family funds and taught a lesson. Can't wait for the next descriptor of discomfort to be "This is harder for me than it will be for you, trust me"
Double whammy. Job growth down, unemployment up!
Underscoring the softening labor market trend, the unemployment rate rose to 4.1% from 4.0% in January. That reflected a 588,000 decline in household employment. About 385,000 people left the labor force last month.
But how much of that number is fudged by the Trump Admin? We know they're fudging the GDP numbers to make everything seem better than it ACTUALLY is. No reason they won't do the same with the jobs numbers.

HOW MANY LOST???
I don't believe anything from the administration!
I work in the housing market and it's slumping here.

Fascist propaganda.
Everything tfg touches dies.
If so… no trust
US population growth. In 2023, population grew by 0.5%, or 1,759,535 people
10,000/day reach 65
18 year olds reach working age - In 2007, 4,316,233 born (359,666 / month)
Immigration accounts for 4/5 of growth. In 2023, US issued 10.4 million temporary visas (~ 900,000 a month).
Now WaPo calls Trump’s 151,000 jobs “strong”.
The media has a right wing media bias :/
Asking for Americans.
Someone should set up a website of all the research and students affected and learning and advancement killed. Crucial for Gen Z vote in 2028.

For trump
You and business leader pals fucked around. Now you're finding out.
And in the meantime you bent over America too.
Signed,
The Public
What were the expectations ?
Based on what it was when it was Biden ?
You are really hard to follow
If there should have been 250000 new jobs it is at least 150000 that you lost
Be factual
An Administration self-handicapping, with no policies for the betterment of We The People, is a telling sign of the coming failures.

He is doctoring every report.
All evidence outside Trump’s editors is an economic collapse underway.
They're trying to blame Biden for anything, which we all know the opposite to be true.
